Does using a titan temporarily decrease your IQ?

That’s how random players work. Some players are aggressive who keep on chasing the next beacon while the few are content with three and start to defend and win.

I used to feel the same way as you do, wondering why a couple of blues keep pushing aggressive to get bot out quick. Later I adjusted myself to watch what other blues doing and quickly switch gears if they are super aggressive. On top of that, many people who play master 3 and lower are unpredictable.... you will find crazy times where people don’t even cap a home beacon. Sometimes, all Arthurs would take cover and expect a nodens to push and cap that third beacon for win 😅🤣. Or all your five blues standing on home with long range weapons leaving you alone to suffer and bot out early 🤐

I had read in this forum somewhere, it is always wise to play by the strategy of the majority blues and support it even if it’s a much worse strategy than our best strategy. Many times it work, sometimes it fail.

As someone who exclusively plays the most aggressive way possible... I'm with Dragon on this.

My playstyle has a purpose and it works. What really grinds my gears is when the red beacon bar is 2 pixels away from the battle being over, and 3-5 blues LOSE EVERY BEACON AND NEVER ARE ABLE TO RECAP ONE BEACON FOR 10 SECONDS.

Of course, I am dead. So I must watch this absolute war crime. Why am I dead you ask? Because I'm the only one actually doing my job. So I suppose I am for AND against this argument...

And then you see it...
5 enemy titans converging on easy kills, or worse, all midway between beacons.

Am I off topic? Maybe. But Titan on Titan battles are mind 「fluffernutter」ing numbing. Especially anything Arthur.

Random add on thought...
Many factors could be why you're seeing bull「dookie」 Titan play. The honor points for deployment for one, I now always deploy my Titan as soon as its charged out of fear I won't be able to do so at a later time, especially if I've spent most my time in one bot and haven't accrued damage.

I want to hate damage chasers but they're only doing what they have to for "honor" Pix did this.

Titan go slow so brain go slow too.

I’ve seen whales drop a max Nodens into center on Shenzhen or Carrier and die in seconds. It’s amazing strategy

Sometimes my Arthur feels invincible gust killing everything in its path.

But then MM goes time to lose 「total babe」, I drop Arthur and get annihilated as I felt invincible and I played it like a Meth Fuelled Hard On enraged 「wee-wee」head on the 3rd day of a long weekend bender.
