Even with all the complaining I did about losing league points because of crappy team draw, I'm actually progressing upwards. Maybe it's a perception thing. I lose 5 matches and -15 pts each but eventually over the same time win 7 matches at +15. Its slow progress but nonetheless progress.

Started in Gold I Diamond III in mid March. Flew into Diamond II a week later closing in on Diamond I - be there next week!
Less than 150 Au for my Fury and ready to load 8/9/10 level Tridents. Hope to break into Expert with 9.4/9.3 hanger running solo.

Started in Silver 2 with a 6/6 hangar. Currently partway through the challenge to go up to Gold 2 with a 7/8 hangar. Not really sure my hangar's quite beefy enough for the league but hey, we'll see how it goes.

Started in Diamond III(iOS) with 7/8 hanger, got beat down to Gold I, struggled up to Diamond II where I seem to be mired. Got close to challenging Diamond I, but have been sinking since then. Bottom third of Diamond II at the moment. Still a 7/8 hanger.

Well, if you mean generating Ag, that isn't as high as I'd like and I'm slowly bleeding my silver reserves. I generate 100-300k per game usually. I figured that was just the cost of upgrades getting steeper. Honestly, I'm only this high in league due to playing in squads with my clan mates. Solo, I can just barely stay in Gold 3 (low 1700s). As for my 7/8 hangar, it's a very shiny 7/8 which helps, but I regularly bump into bots that can rip mine apart.

Sticking to solo, my league points are closer to 1700 and my win rate about 50%. Oddly, my kills and average damage are a bit higher since matches usually go longer. My clan mates do a better job of defending my fury than randoms so I often spend longer as mid-range support with them and brawl more when solo. Silver is a total meat grinder. Gold is tougher level-wise but the average random player tends to be more consistently competent. Silver has a crazy mix of bot levels and player quality. I have two friends and several clan mates who are playing around your league and they have some rough matches. Sometimes brilliant and sometimes fiascos, despite their best efforts.

But ocassionally, silver has absolutely EPIC battles and I can only respect the team I just won or lost to....which is why most of us play right ? Those knock down , drag out that come down to a cats whisker in the timer

Started in Silver III, made it to Silver I this morning, thanks to several no show battles... mostly Gold League folks. Not sure if I'll get to stay there.

Started in Gold, now in Diamond. Trending up, except a crazy serial of losses that I had a few days ago which made me to lose a huge amount of league points. That was a setback and I went all the way back to Gold. Now back in Diamond where I am slowly trending up.

Our clan is pretty diverse. It started out as 'just for fun' so we've got a mix of folks that can put up big number and quite a few that can't. As a result of the Leagues we are squading a lot less and taking our chances solo, luck of the draw as we know for certain we will drop league points by squading with those in our clan...... Just as I write this I got a notification on my phone for a new release. I guess we will see if things improved.

I started out in silver 3, made it to silver 1. Then with clan squads made it into gold 3. I did a bunch of solo games and got up to 1798. Won a few, lost a few. I held gold 3 for a full week. Then three days ago, I ran into tankers, and started losing every game. Have yet to win on Shenz. Dropped back into silver 1. I have made it back up to 1718, and won 4 out of the 5 battle challenge, then lost with -20. I seem to be right on the edge of silver 1 and gold 3. I started upgrades to get my 8/8 hangar to a 9/9 hangar. We'll see how this next month goes...

Started in Diamond III and soon made Diamond I. Erred much more time than I care for in between low Diamond I and high Diamond II. Every time I progressed a little, I was smacked back down by tremendously higher opposing firepower and bot health capital than my team mates and myself had. Then Pixonic changed the yet again the game rule, namely the scoring system, to avoid giving progress points to top 2 players on losing team, which I was too often part of (which small consolation fee was keeping me afloat at the frontier between Diamond II and III, if without gold reward ever) so I fell down quickly and only made up for with a new batch of upgrades to weapons and bots. Now, I am in Diamond I in the 3000 points range and don't appear to make progress at all, no matter what I do. I regularly see all sub-levels of Expert, Master, and yes, Champion, against me, and also more often than I care for even higher league members. That sure keeps me in check and makes for an infuriatingly frustrating experience, getting shredded even before I can get in range of those wealthy beasts (how could they upgrade that fast, in so few victories, without paying literally thousands of dollars to Pixonic?). While I like the idea of leagues, I positively hate its application. What good are they at all, if you get almost systematically included in battles that grossly exceed your hangar capabilities, with opponents one or two leagues above? ?? The dumbest match maker ever!

Started in Expert 3 (Android), now in Master 1 and should just squeak into Champion by the end of this league season. Just need 200 more points in 4 more days, which is doable. I got 45 points playing 3 matches with my clan squad this morning.
I have been very lucky to be part of a great clan, and have had good experiences playing solo as well.

I started in Diamond III and have progressed to Expert I tier where I have been back and forth between Expert I and II leagues. Its not my hangar, I just need to work on my skills. I am trying my best but it is tough up there. I see lots of Master and Champion players that just kick my butt!

I started in Diamond 3 and now I am in diamond 1. I am having a really tough time getting and staying in expert. So am I. The basic reason is: neither of us payed enough to upgrade our bots and weapons to face not only the experts but also the masters and champions thrown at us. That is designed so you reach for your wallet to go over the hump, don't you get it? Alternatively, we can play to lose daily for another 8 to 10 months to collect enough silver to upgrade bots and weapons from 9.5 and 10 respective average we currently have to the 11/11 required to stand a chance, and another such period to upgrade to 12/12 and join the winning club, that appears to enjoy the unique privilege t o beat on much smaller than themselves and collect the gold rewards that they no longer need.

Erm..what progress? More of a regress in my case. I started Silver II (Android) and slid to Silver III (mercifully still in Android). I had a string of of bad games interlaced with ever worse games. Started with around 1300 points and went down to 1100. I paid for Premium and got enough Ag to start upgrading my peashooters. From there on I seem to have improved and clawed my way back to Silver II.
However, I did not upgrade to premium to improve my league status (my real life is competitive enough I don’t need the same hassle in a game – I play just to relax my tired brains) I only upgraded so that at least I had a smidgen of a chance of dishing out some pain instead of just taking it.

It definitely feels like I have hit the limit with my current hangar and device. I'm less discouraged as I enjoy playing and am patient. That being said, I hope to break through the diamond barrier through the following changes: I am going to spring for a new tablet. I play on an ipad mini (from 2013) and it lags at all the wrong times. The new ipad 2017 just came out for $329 and should be a significant upgrade. I have been waiting for the next generation to come out so the purchase has very little to do with war robots. I am also going to try adjusting my hangar. I tuned it to maximize damage back when that was rewarded--thunder carnage, DB griffin, PDB griffin, Plasmahad, and a Thunder Orkan Lancelot. Now that winning is more important than damage, I need to readjust again. I am thinking of dropping something for a trident fury or RDB griffin. Any thoughts?

Damage still is more important than anything, as a team cannot ever win without enough damage potential (and bot health capital to absorb the opponent's.) I got numerous games where my team collected by far the most beams, yet we lost, as opponent heavies with superior firepower outlast us all, and can kill us all before the time runs out, in spite of clock accelerations caused by us taking beacons back again and again.
I cannot afford Lancelots, they are way too expensive both for entry fee and for upgrades. I see a lot of adversary teams sporting one, two, sometimes three Lancelots per player, already upgraded to near or at max, including weapons. Unbelievable.

I have climbed from Silver II to Silver I for the first time yesterday and I find it extremely challenging to progress any further right now. Hangar is everything lvl9, bots and weapons.
Gareth Magnum/Taran Galahad Magnum/Taran Lancelot Taran/Thunder Carnage Thunder Rhino Punisher/Orkan
I have no idea what it's like in the gold+ leagues for comparison, but for silver the term meat-grinder fits pretty awesome. Matchmaker seems to be extremely busy with rubberbanding. Lots of matches are awesome with a very close ending.

I am going up against players I can't ..I have been getting a lot of Gold and Diamond League reds and they kill me so fast that even when my team wins I lose.. I was up to 64% and averaging 350k damage , now I am lucky to get 100k per game .. this new MM is pushing me along too fast.. my bots are not leveled enough yet. But I keep getting in winning matches enough that it is dragging me up the League ladder to fast..
