This may be a rant. Maybe itâs just cold reality.
Itâs not the mm.
Or the rigged prizes.
Or the p2w.
Itâs the GUTLESSS COWARDS who hide the whole game while the beacon bar burns down to zero. I meched out for the thousandth time near the end on carrier trying to carry us to victory while my 「dookie」 team mates hid like pathetic losers. We nearly won but I kid you not we had THREE players on my team that never once tried to get a single beacon. The grand champion pants pissing pillow biter sat in his fenrir at 500m tickling the reds with tasers the whole game. Despite my best efforts to shove him overboard with my minos blast wave his fast 「bum-bum」 survived.
If you lose in beacon mode and you havenât wrecked at least 3 bots trying to get beacons, may your tablet malfunction and your lag be measured in minutes.
That is all.

The hiding in back has become an epidemic.... So crazy to see no one wanting to win on your team.
Peach it man.

The hiding in back has become an epidemic.... So crazy to see no one wanting to win on your team. Peach it man. Thanks for the sanity check, glad I’m not the only one. Why be so afraid of losing a bot? Guess what, you get them all back next game. I’ve invested a lot of time and money in this game, pedal to the floor is the only way to play. Or at least play tdm if you like hide and lose. What’s even more disheartening is when you’re bolting for center and here comes 2-4 reds shells and Demeters. You turn and look, two of your “team mates” are still near the spawn setting up their camp sites, the others are lighting a single side beacon in groups of 2-3. Amazon clans are non existent for all practical purposes. |

I have the opposite problem, everyone is fighting tooth and nail for the beacons on iOS, but then mid match they want to pretend like beacons donât exist and seem allergic to them. Not hiding in the back, but insisting on fighting everywhere else, and grouping all together on the same front as Loki rubs around. I donât have a way of conveying to others beacon rush is all about getting beacons. Reason I put all my time into the sequence I use my bots is planning on how ai will take a beacon, hold a beacon and advance to a new beacon. My teammates spawn out of them. If you are fighting someone without cover, and you are right next to a beacon, you really 「fluffernutter」ing need to slide your 「bum-bum」 on over to that beacon. Only time that isnât advised is when a bunch of red is sitting on a red beacon.
You donât even gotta take a red beacon, to take advantage of it for your team. If you show intent to take it many times other reds will rush to fight you away- thatâs 2 or 3 reds not fighting blue, and makes it easy for blue to advance. Iâd gladly sacrifice a bot for that chase on the gambit the rest of my team will push forward hard while Iâm in the enemyâs rear tying them up. Usually they get this, but too often they want to fight like YouTube players who ignore the beacons right in front of them and fight. Even if you are dominating in kills, beacons alone can win it for the underdog.
My favorite case was on the mountain map in Silver League, my fastest bot was a Gareth and I went out rushing for a beacon thinking others would beat me, then I got another, then another, then was behind the enemyâs rear- they decided on both sides to take up positions at the cliff and shoot one another across it- took their beacon, then started nailing them from behind a bit away. They kept dying, and I didnât know where they were going (didnât know the red pawn home points)- and was killed from behind, and came back as a Ao Ming and just slaughtered everyone because it didnât offer to any of them to take back any of their own beacons. Match was the quickest Iâve ever had, and sure every red sat there stunned. I miss my old Gareth.

IMO this is directly related to MM. When too many lower level players are regularly matched vs much higher level hangars it causes Beacon Butterfly Syndrome. The choice is to either play normally and mech out quickly leading to low resource gains or float around the edge of the action and lose beacons but fight longer and maybe get more resources.
I’d bet that Fen was in a lower league and not running MK2 gear across the board. If they are high level, then it’s a different reason for that play style.

I understand the mini rant, but I’ll take a cowardly team any day over the cowardly gameplay used by Scorpion owners.....that pos just came on offers for 10 bucks, I still want nothing to do with that playstyle, such as it is......
End of mini rant v.2.0

End of mini rant v.2.0 Nope never nuuhh nein niet I also judge scorpion pilots but at least they... Wait... God dammit. I can't tell who the bigger coward is.... Maybe the non beaconers are kids or dumb persons... OK fine you're right. I hope you enjoyed my writing in real-time. |

Those bots are handmade in mother Russia herself, each one a finely crafted item that cannot be replaced.
Just ask them.
Not to mention that there's the secret "I win more by being in 1 bot the whole game" trophy that only they know about or can get.
Again, just ask them.

The brawl zone is reserved mostly for mk2 stuff. also the amount of frustration when half my Glacier rockets miss on a teleporting Shell... reckless1 consider maybe the campers might not have the gear for the Shell 「dookie」fest this game has become. Tankers are definitely still the worst things ever |

I refuse to play beacon games for this reason, I play TDM only.

What I don’t get is why so many people play beacon rush with mid and long range weapons. If your bot can’t take and hold a beacon, what are you doing in that game mode? Go play TDM. The whole idea of midrange “support” bots is silly. A brawler can support by brawling alongside you AND take that beacon. Sure, you get the occasional player with maxed Pulsars or something that can be a PITA, but rarely is that guy turning the tide of the battle. Just look at Legend League hangars. You don’t see many Hussars and Arbalists there.

You don’t see many Hussars and Arbalists there. In my big map-MR hangar, I have 2 beacon defenders/stealers……but, after 4 minutes, it becomes about Titans, anyways…….if not sooner……. As for LL, very few spend for one max hangar with max drones and pilots, so weapons are the new good ones anyways, and death squads usually roll randos, with a fair fight every 8-10 battles, maybe. And Titans drop within 2 minutes….. |

At least they’re doing damage and are in game. And possibly a target for the easily annoyed. A 0/0/0 tanker literally does nothing and when Reds see that it’s a 6v5 they push hard |

Finally pushed me off the game but I'll stay in touch take care Bah, you took the bait. Stop trying to "keep up." Once you let that go and just have fun screwing around, it's not such a bad hamster wheel game. |
