Or maybe some would just prefer not to have more money grabbing dookie that doesn't make the game better in our opinion. To each their own.

The big thing is cost, right? Pix better get it right or the reception for Drones will be quite cool. I really do suspect that Au spending on pilots is down. Time will tell. I’m assuming there will be some gambling element to these on release since Pix does not make new things available to get. Or maybe drone sharts? Either way, sitting back and observing with a beverage is probably the best route.

What really bothers me is the forever ravana. If you use Poe (and in Champions who doesn’t?) you don’t need to buff the Ravana’s cooldown very much to have it available continuously.
Just imagine an S-clan who drops 6 x forever Ravanas. Leave 2 guarding the home beacons, rush the center beacon, hold it with a forever Ravana and then just time you out. I suppose you have to kill the drone then kill the Ravana normally, but if they have 4 x forever Ravanas in the center plus replacement forever Ravanas coming every time you manage to eventually kill one off then getting the center beacon off them becomes effectively impossible. They can just push reds out of the beacon circle without even needing to shoot at all.

The Fonz has been donning the leather jacket and water skiis for a while now, ready to jump that beacon full of sharks.

On day one there will be a few folks that have one or more (5?!?) uber-drones that make them mega OP. And there will be me having fun with what I have and not freaking out over the meta (tempting as it may be.) Yes. Of course they will. Day 1 to keep up with the Jonzes .... Super speed, ice rocket, Lock down, DR, 200% dmg, infinite transcendence Ravana's .... Even now if I see certain clan tags I can tell you their full hangar make-up and level titan. - - - I know that if I outplay/kill their Ravana ... I will either hear titan entrance music or see another golden splurge sponge fest head right towards me. "Like duh, uhm duh bro ... this thing should not die ... I mash button ... but still die ... now I try nother one" "On, that no work ... I drop maxed titan kill all ... me best player"

Have any other exploits along the lines of 5 sec cooldown Ao Jun been discovered? I'm not opposed to drones. I'm ok with introductions like this that are not OP bot releases. I liked pilots (except for the name) and this seems very similar. They strike me as another way to further massage my builds rather than the next P2W domination. The meta will benefit most strongly but the difference between a Legendary pilot for Griffin and Ao Jun is less than the power gap between and Ao Jun and Griffin. I can't see drones being any different.

I dont know man, this is the first time in the history of the game I literally have no clue what's going down. Not a single clue.
Drones? Why don't they just get shot down or blow up to splash damage? Is that the catch? Well then, I'll focus on blowing them up then.
But I'm having a hard time envisioning that, twice as many targets to row through on the field? Ughhh

Then the real OP drones come out next with new chips and you go F*** ME! Its way too complicated and I say heck no. Drones will just make more good players who dont spend allot leave IMO. The power gap just keeps growing and growing. I think that the exodus has already started since the introduction of the new pilot costs personally. Had a match with a mega spender the other day and it stretched the MM's cup matching to the absolute limit. We had 6 Champs Vs him, two borderline Champs, two low Masters and one Expert. It's bad enough running over a load of Leos and Natashas, what's worse is that those lower ranked players won't stick around for long if it keeps happening. This is basically it. Before I had no qualms with 2 skills on all 25 bots. I even had 3 or more on a few. Now? Can't do anything, not worth the trouble. Oh, and replace that tonic with a medical grade joint and we'll soar. Just went to my doc today, Haha! I'm in!

I can't see drones being any different. It looks like they removed the possibility of ridiculously short cooldown times by removing the appropriate microchip.

Regarding the size of your picture/signature, you're very wealthy. Would you mind reducing the size a bit, as your signature pic takes almost half of the screen estate on a 17" laptop, thanks.

"Toxic fandom" is usually the last resort along the lines "fans hate it for good reason, we're out of arguments so just call them toxic". Most of the "toxic" people are fans that deeply care about a game/movie franchise/whatever, and make their voices heard.
Pixo is proven to ignore fans, and move away from good playing experience towards agressive monetization and pur p2w. The ultimate farce was the "round table" 3 years ago. Ever since I know what to expect. That's not toxic, that's experienced.

The meta will benefit most strongly but the difference between a Legendary pilot for Griffin and Ao Jun is less than the power gap between and Ao Jun and Griffin. I can't see drones being any different. I get your point but it's not the best comparison really. One pilot gives you 5 seconds off the ability cooldown on a bot that is ridiculously obsolete and the other lets you have Quantum Radar for the entirety of its ability use whilst also negating the "premium" cloaking module as well as a lot of other bots that rely on stealth to survive, including the very bot that it pilots. The multitude of chips and layers of upgrades in drones is what looks daunting. Pix knows that some people are willing to do whatever it takes to max level everything that is thrown their way so they just keep feeding that hunger.

what was the "round table"? a meeting between pix and some of the top Utube players to discuss game issues and listen to our complaints. They gave lip service and I would say 99% of those issues still exist plus much more.

I thought it referred to back when the camelot bots were released for some reason, as in "knights of the round table".
