Today I saw a Scorpion on sale, and I thought "the reason I'm keeping this Leech is because I love Orkans. Well, I can put Orkans on this Scorpion and use it instead of my Leech!" I almost broke my commitment to stick with my current hanger. But then I remembered...

* Everything eventually gets nerfed
* Investing in a new pilot is sooooo expensive
* Upgrading a bot is soooo expensive
* The meta changes

Everyone knows it, I'm just saying it, Pixonic makes it so stupidly difficult to switch bots without $$$$.

erik1 :

Stick with the Leech. There are still plenty of effective ones out there. Look out for the Hawks, try not to deploy them late when the Titans are out.

The right T2 chips (I'm looking at you Mr. Phasing Repairer) can be cheap-ish and hella-good.

I have a leveled Scorpion. Meh. It would be less meh with sonic blasters but I don't have any.

I'm going to write a new filter for the word "fluffernutter", set the output to our favorite eff-bomb and watch this forum melt down in recursive glory! Don't tempt me I'll do it!

Only if you really care about the outcome of the match. Just play for fun. It's very freeing.

It's things like this that kept me out of the really good schools.
