What I really hate is when the dumb team-mate is myself! Just last night had a 'Doh!' moment on Yam. Going down to the wire we needed to cap center beacon to get the win. I killed the last defending red with my RDB Griff and jumped to the platform, only to catch the edge of the ramp and bounce down to the ground. I circled back around and after cool-down jumped again, and missed again! The delay lost us the game.

I have been there before... you're not alone my fellow gimped jumper.

I swear the Pix developers purposely designed the jumping bots to look as comically ridiculous as possible when they short a jump. The closer the miss, the stupider they look. I'm just waiting to see something like this... especially when I push campers over the edge.

Chinese gamers have a saying.
Do not fear the gods your opponents are, rather fear the (stupid) pigs your team mates might be.
I find this relevant to War Robots as well.

So it happened again tonight, almost an exact replay of last night. Maybe the last 5 nights. I hit Gold 3, and all of a sudden nobody colored blue knows what a 「fluffernutter」ing beacon is. I run around and cap 2 or 3, and before my ECU Cossack is dead (because that's the only 'fast' bot I have), we're somehow down 4-1 or 5-0 beacons, the rest of the blue bots are huddled around somewhere with their thumbs up their 「multiple dookie delivery chute」 while the my bots get shredded trying to recover beacons. FIVE games in a row went exactly this way as soon as I stayed over 1700 long enough to stay in Gold 3 -- games are basically lost by the first minute. League points were all similar between the teams, pretty close distributions ranging from Gold 2 to Silver 1, so I can't blame this streak on MM. But most of them on both sides have better hangars than mine. I don't get it. If I play to cap beacons, the team can't hold any of them. If I play to kill bots, my team scatters in 6 different directions. I try to tag along with somebody and they either disappear at the first sign of a red bot, or we get swarmed 4-on-2. And I CAN'T FIND A CLAN WITH ANY ACTIVE PLAYERS TO TEAM UP WITH!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, OT rant. It's been at least a week of this constant floundering between Silver and Gold, and I'm frustrated. Like a daily occurrence -- start the day holding my own in Silver, end it getting destroyed in Gold. I can almost set my clock to it.

Maybe you should switch that ecussack out for something that can actually hurt people. Then you can look what kind of bots the opponents most likely run at first, and start the game with a counter to it. Try to spot your best match up, and go for it. If everybody ignores beacons: you need to do it to. Focus on match ups, so you can rack up damage. You don't play the reds, you actually compete with your 5 blues for the top damage spot.

Yeah, I do switch out the Cos for a Vityaz, the next best bot in the stable, and do exactly that -- try to just rack up damage and let the chips fall where they may. Unfortunately neither the Vit nor it's Thunder and punishers are very high, but once in awhile I catch somebody they can tear up a bit. But my other problem here is, none of my bots are very high, so it's a real chore and a lot of luck being the top 1 or 2 in damage, especially when everybody is running around doing their own thing. Here's where I'm at now. Leo and the RDB Griff obviously do the most damage, but in Gold I'm just constantly running up against better and higher bots. What I need to do is just play the minimum to get my daily task gold while I level them all up to 8-9, but I just can't put the damn thing down!! ![](http://i.imgur.com/OqWIP49.jpg)

I wasn't sure if I should level that Vit a bit just to get me by or not -- upgrade time seems better spent on weapons right now. Carnage (or Fujin, haven't made up my kind yet) are about 10 days away. Good suggestions.

Good suggestions. for bots you want to keep, getting to lvl9 would be nice so that you can have the max speed. especially bots like carnage. but weapons first is a good idea too. weapons always 0~2 lvls higher than bots

Carnage (or Fujin, haven't made up my kind yet) are about 10 days away. Good suggestions. 2 things you need to no: 1. I never been in android silver/gold. I play diamond/expert on iOS. 2. my advice is not a rule you strictly have to follow. It's just what I'd probably would do. That said; yeah 10ish days seems manageable. Thunder carnage can be such a gamechanger(at level 9)How far away is your 5th slot? Or what are you saving for? Can't have orkans to early you know. Other than that: just play and don't care. You'll adapt to the higher league eventually, so you should at least make lots of silver and gold when you get kicked back.

I've gone games where I've done 1m DMG in deathmatch mode with 15 kills being #1 in my team and lost with the 2nd highest DMG dealer dealing 100k enough said to the rest of my team. (They were closer to 50k dmg than 100k). All I can say is unlucky man.

Well I wanted a win to get the gold Fujin. Played solo got KOTH. One minute or so to go. Other team with small beacon bar advantage. I flipped a beacon and immediately stepped out of the ring so that the bar would go up slowly and the other team won't have enough time to turn their next beacon (game is on Springfield, next beacon far far away with a red right on it). A team member comes close and tries to enter the ring. Doesn't seem to understand why I stand beside the turned beacon. I shoot at him once and nod left and right. Doesn't help. The :+&)=:& wants to get in and force a loss. I try to push him. No help. He runs around and enters the ring. The other team turns their beacon but we win by a sliver. What an %%()=%

Add my name to the list of Frustrated!!! This skirmish is tedious beyond belief. Seems to be hugely populated with kids who think it's a playground.
My biggest mistake is thinking anybody on my team actually wants to win. I figured I'd work with a Weyland and provide Bulwark protection while he keeps me healed? Guy turns off the heal and turns around and starts trying to climb up the wall. Of course I'm dead and just shake my head for even remotely contemplating these kids give a rats 「bum-bum」.
Seems that the majority of players are bronze and low silver. This is my hell! lol
