The last 5-6 CPC matches I've played, I've run into way more Zephyrs, Carbines, Cheetahs and SB-TL combos than I ever have...is this the MM trying to 「fluffernutter」 me over? I ran into a Zephyr or Cheetah with Carbine 10 and 8!!!! These were also the first CPC matches I've ever played w/ or against multiple 2k+ bots...
Have it finally made it to the big leagues? I'm in Div 3, 1663 hangar, 45k exp.

You made the mistake of winning too many matches! Or not. All my matches sound the same as yours. And tourney today, I'm matched with 2,200 players (I'm 1.600) with carbines and R5 gear - scraping 150 points a match. One guy hit me (admittedly from behind) with Javs and one-shotted my Ares (53k health) ?? That's a big critical hit multiplier!

Three possibilities:
1- Time to stomp that win rate.
2- The enemy team had a human player that was absolute garbage compared to you, and the game gave their side stupid strong AI to kneecap you.
3- There are these wierd periods that happen somewhere between 300 and 500 match intervals, before division 1, where the game will throw the whole house at you for a handful of games, just to look for how much it needs to bend you over to fix the results of your games to what it wants.

There's a fourth possibility:
4 - you've encountered some human players who couldn't resist the lure of Instant Access.
I'm seeing more Carbines and Zephyrs and Cheetahs myself, but I'm in Div 1 and maxed at 10,999 points.

I am in the same boat as you. Yesterday I lost 7 in a row, won 2, then lost the next 8. Im at 1076 and face ppl low to mid 2k, everything is at least 4 stars while Im rocking 3 star stuff. Sucks to lose 25-100 consistently. Hope it gets better at some point.

I play the first 4 days of the tournament, then switch back to War Robots because I'm just not good enough to play in the upper leagues. It helps to keep my sanity.  |

I actually didn't run into a single human player during that stretch, so it's probably #1 and #3 |

Have you tried the strategies Redfiend has shown for the tournament? I've personally been doing the strategy spelled out for mechs in the 3-4 rank level. I play Tuesday-Thursday (Thursday is probably the hardest day of the week), take Friday off to drop a level (play one game and do poorly so that you are in the bottom 5 of your bracket and drop), then Saturday and Sunday are my "money" days. Those days end up with me in Expert and Master leagues, respectively, but with competition that hasn't been playing balls-to-the-wall all week long and trying to win the Grandmaster league. It's pretty satisfying and earns me roughly 2000 a-coins/ week average. Also, the grind is far less and I essentially get 3 "days off" a week from it. Monday, Tuesday (there's not much benefit to killing it in the novice bracket because no a-coins) and Friday are simple days that I can do other things in life (like go to sleep early, lol). Those happen to also be the days I go play War Robots with no pressure and with what I got. Anyway, something to consider. |

While I don't try to kill it in Novice, I still think it is worth trying to get the top place given the amount of red tickets you should have collected. While no direct A-Coins, the extra 4 keys help to open more of those Fortune Vaults in Loot Rush which often drop a good amount of A-Coins or credits. |

Munki the vault keys and credits in Novice aren't worth it. Better to throw the 6 keys at a better spot where you're just getting coins outright in professional, because there are a loooooot of skins to chew through that can slap pretty hard on a bad set of rolls.
