Seems either there is an influx of new whales, or folks do not understand the map/match concept. Alllllllll weekend long it has been mk3 EVERYTHING META, yet poor match or map knowledge. Beacon rush in a DOM game, mk3 meta hangars with anglers and seraphs littered everywhere, but no concept of the game being played? It may just be my observation, but I know another thread(s) have really ramped up the MM lately. But is it really MM, because I am running into mk3 expert whales, with just button mash mentality.
this is just my observation, not meant to rant but now kinda does sound like it. A solid back and forth with good players knowing what to do in a specific match is one thing, but lately I donât see familiar names, yet even former decent clans have either fallen to the meta madness and opened their wallets more, or have decided fight fire with fire and âsubtlyâ hack without too much being obvious.
maybe it is just my old 「bum-bum」 not wanting to âconformâ, but letâs be brutally honest here. With percent this chip, percent that mod, percent pilot skill, I JUST WANT TO BUILD A 「deteriorated bum-bum」 BOT AND NOT SIT THROUGH MATH CLASS! I know some here like to crunch the numbers, but after a while I would like to just arm up a bot and ALLLLLLL itâs goodies, and just play. I mean, do you really have time to look at all 4 sides of the screen to see which abilities are active, which are hurting/helping you, all while 4 seraphs turn your screen into a Pink Floyd laser show as 4 of your 5 shields are activated giving you near seizure like brain freeze as you are locked down and canât move with an OS?
it used to be our patience that was the last straw for some. I am not jumping on the âend is near for meâ bandwagon, I am just gonna one day NOT be around. I actually got knocked down to m2 but clawed back up to m1, yet I do not see the appeal to continue putting time into this as much as before.

Rant score: 2.3 Why so low? Not nearly ranty enough. Too sober. Too well written.

Rant score: 2.3 Why so low? Not nearly ranty enough. Too sober. Too well written. It started as just thought, then got heated from there. Might have been because I was hangry, I dunno. Bacon sandwich later I feel I could easily bump that up to at least 4 stars, but why regurgitate posts already in recent activity? Besides, felt more like a rant than general topic. At least saved the mods some time of having to move it. Good deed for the day complete.

I don't think a lot of champ players understand how bad the tanking issue has been. Is there tanking in champs probably you wouldn't be able to tell tho because everyone is a champ. However lower leaques plenty of tankers well into D3. Expert is tanker central. Remember pixo doesn't care about tanking. AFAIC the game is eating its own tail. The churn with lower league player leaving the game is much faster so now the lower leaques are filled with tanker whales. This has been going on this whole year. Also too most of these players rely on being overgeared to be effective, essentially garbage players. I could go on a out the last point. Finally if you were a new player how much would you spend on this game?? Sure some one might spend quite a bit and then realize they've been had.

If it can even be considered tanking, but if I am involved in a game and I have a player on my team that is hacking, I won’t quit but I will literally stop playing and let reds kill me.

I stop dropping if it's a hacker. I also stop dropping if I know that it's champs/tankers because I do not want to give them any silver. If I drop 3 bots and a titan and they all go poof I'm out. Tanking is dropping leagues intentionally to cheat. Deciding to not drop bots because of tankers/MM is not. You are going to lose anyway so dropping more bots doesn't matter.

I might be quilty of being a poor player, not dead broke, mind you, just not that good. I do okay, but certainly not a superstar. I find myself with a good mk3 hanger but in master 2 and master 1, not by choice of tanking, just driven downward. Once I get into champion or close to it (4950, 4970 or so) I simply can not compete, 4+ red Seraphs in the air for the first 50% of the game, my rock solid Mars and other bots succumb to their speed, punchers and apparitions. Even if I get up next to them, many just won't die, so it's just a matter of time and one by one my robots fall, and also the titan. I'm decent with my bots but not that good with my single Seraph, and all honestly I simply don't even like the bot, all the lightning and bs, confuses my senses and I don't need this 「dookie」. I am convinced that if the game didn't have Seraphs and Anglers (haven't dealt with Anglers too much yet to be honest) But pocket warriors need these op bots because without them, we would make mince meat of them and this is the only way they can win.

even the tankers are bad though now.....you'll get a ton of god tier tankers that where/should be in champs with 25k and in many cases far higher games in expert league and much lower somehow by passing that supposed anti tanking measure entirely (not that it is of ANY use at all!)
i was in expert 1 when i came back and after waves (so so many) of tankers with max hangers meta bots the works got pushed down to D1 and i'm still meeting them! in diamonds leagues as well and not to go in to the whole pitiful russian thing (you all know the score) many of them seem to be russians, russian names , russian clans ...... i just had a game a moment ago where the highest damage on either side topped out at 606k before game ended and we won yet the opposite team had 2 tankers with mk3 hangers.

For me, it's all about perspective. Always has been. I stopped wanting to 'win matches', or rank up, some time ago now. I deliberately run dumb sets of 1.11 bots with largely older weapons, and it took the Seraph the push me out of masters. Maybe the Angler will push me out of expert. Woopdy-doo. I get pushed further away from the pillocks. Tankers don't bother me so much. If they could play well, they wouldn't do it. Gives us plebs the chance to eat a Seraph. #metameatforthemasses

It's so hard to get through Diamond and Expert because of all the tankers. It's just ridiculous. As for all the magic abilities, it is getting too much for a mobile game. Drones, pilots, modules, OS... I like the test server because it has none of that.

I used to park my Weyland between the orange shield and chasm on the enemy side (back to the chasm), and watch wallet-skilled n00bs with MK2 and MK3 Scorpions fall in one after another and dying before realizing whats happening, lol.

I would consider myself a bit above average in playing; I don't rush anywhere (because my device is slow I am perpetually stuck in free for all), and I am constantly paying close attention to the body language and behavior of other players. This one may go for this player because they just killed someone, and because I am decently far away from the interaction and am the closest to the spot where people are most likely going to spawn next (spawning cycles), I know that the next person with their certain behavior and robot will be coming for me, and with my Ares I will need to be smart, and since 1 enemy will kill the other, they will have a certain amount of health left, and I probably cant kill them, and since these are the only 2 left on the field, they are both going to come for me next, so to prepare, I must find a coverable position where I can maneuver and defend from both of them, and I have about 20 seconds to do this. Basic stuff.
So I'm running around with my Ares (lvl 10 Freedom Hussar, 2 lvl 9 Marquess, lvl 8 atomizer, lvl 9 Ares(No paint job),Quantum Radar, lvl 3 Nuclear Amplifier, lvl 1 Thermonuclear Reactor, lvl 1 Overdrive, (all tier 3) Master Gunsmith(+2.5%(I think), Destroyer(ability damage +10%), Mechanic(.75/sec), Wonderworker(Ability activation +7.5%hp), Eye drone with 2 blue control Resistors(10% each) 1 on suppression immune +10% damage(or its freezing), no f slot because I'm broke, Mantis with ( I don't know from memory what level it is) 20,000 durability purple gun and 74, something shield(At about 30% charge)(I also just spawned so nuke amp is at 0)), Shenzhen, 6:15 seconds on the timer); I just spawned at the building near the big wavy mall, on the side with the yellow buildings, and I'm at the crossroad where I can see all the way to the black building with 4 points to the left and the weird one that people use to jump onto the wavy building sometimes. I look at the building with 4 points and know that someone is going to spawn there next. At the other end of the parking lot behind the blue jumper building is a Skyros and a khepri, both too powerful for me to fight. I can't hit either of them from the angle I am at, so I wait. I have the thought I said were basic about now. ^. The Khepri Mace wins, and judging by its health bar and armadillo drone and the fact it's killed about 4 people now, I would say it has about 300,000 hp with 80 something defense points. From 600 meters away, I see it's about to make eye contact with me, and that means death. I hide, as to not let it see how weak I am. Unfortunately, the other person spawned in about 670 meters in front of me, and I quickly realize its a Harpy with Incinerator build because suddenly its on me, and I would have to walk back to escape the bomb radius (a.k.a. 1/5 my hp), but I don't. I'm mad because I can't do anything. Instead, I run on the outskirts and away from the Khepri because I'm the middleman anyway, heading towards the harpy. 600. 500. 400. 400 meters. 20 seconds, about. Harpy is in the air again, Khepri rounding the corner where I was. I dodge this firestorm because they hit a building. They immediately land, on the ground by the buildings behind the 4 tower building. 300. 250- oh wait. The khepri sprays me from a distance, but my now 80k hp is almost drained. I activate my shield, now in a pickle. I have 45k left, but the Wonderworker bumped me up to 50. Grey bar is at about 63k. Harpy has 10 seconds left. i'm stuck. Khepri is approaching directly at me, now 200 meters away. I am walking away, but slower. I shoot it with full force as I turn a corner, the only corner I can, right in the Harpy's cross hairs. The last second of my absorber shield blocked the first 3 incinerator blasts. Impatient. But, it was followed by 10 more shots. Very surprisingly, I dodged 5 and managed to use my last 5 saved charges of Hussar and Marquess on the Harpy. The Harpy, now at 1/2 health, takes off over me. I'm at an angle where the Khepri can't hit me, and now the Harpy can't hit me either. I run under and around the next building before it can turn around. I'm out of its misplaced fireball blast. The Khepri takes advantage of this dumb and common move and attacks it through its reflector. They are now engaged in combat, and me and my 28k hp are around the 4 tower building now. I am in the clearing by the other parking lot and am booking it to the next group of buildings. Ability in 5. Harpy falls out of the sky, firing the whole time. Khepri isn't as strong as I thought; it took about 1/2 of its remaining health. It, unfortunately for it, was also forgetful. It had fired into the reflector and now had to cool down, but when it shot at the Harpy again the Harpy activated phase shift. 5:15 on the timer. Ability ready. The Harpy tries to run to mid field, but I had already changed direction. I shoot 6 shots and kill it. The Khepri, now with only me in sight, is now in center field. I begin to shoot, prompting it to do the same. It fires right into my shield. I know I have just enough to kill it, but it doesn't know that yet. It will soon. I fire full blast. It tries to first come in range of shield and then to run back around the short building bordering the middle field by the 4 point tower, but it is dead. 5:00 on timer.
The Harpy was in 2nd, the Khepri was in 1st, but now I'm in 1st.
I am alone. It's quiet; I'm waiting for them to spawn again.
it does.
From the other side of the map, I hear the dreaded sound of a titan spawn. It feels like a final boss. it's back where the Khepri was when I spawned in; 1000 m diagonal opposite from me. I hide behind the building and peek my camera around to see it without it hitting me. It flies in stealth. A Murometz with Dazzler/ Lantern! I have a feeling I can take it. I have about 48k hp, topping my grey bar. It lands on the wave building. I corner shoot it, and it emp's me. It gets mad at this. Once it fires empty, I charge about 50 meters in 5 seconds and shoot it. It begins to shoot back, and flies in the air. I activate shield, and use the 1st 5 seconds to close the rest of the distance. 500 meters. Activate Quantum Radar. I return the Hell to its ungrateful sender. Retribution! With the Eye's module use 22% bonus damage, the max Murometz fire, my trusty weapons, and my Nuclear amplifier at about 20%, I sent them back to menu. They don't respawn. 1st place, 6 kills.
(I forgot to mention I was 2nd until the Harpy shot me)
