I don't get it. A couple of weeks ago I was at just under 2900 league points and getting ready to go into Diamond 1, when all of a sudden my win rate that was at around 52% then just collapsed. I've now been relegated to diamond 3 and have a win rate of 28%. At this point I'm on my way down to gold. Quite frankly it's embarrassing and frustrating.
I haven't been quitting. I haven't been throwing matches. I'm still capturing like 4 or 6 beacons and doing 500k damage now, and I'm still losing. Normally, I'd say I was playing well, but the wins just aren't coming.I don't get it.
Anyone else experiencing something like this?

Yes ... I have experienced exactly this
was at 70% - down to 44% ...
Back up to 64% ... went down to 38% sitting at 40% right now
the weird thing I cannot prove ... it is as if my weapons have all suddenly reverted to level 1 ...
I get many matches top beacons/damage & we lose ... the odd occasion where we win ... bottom damage... frustrating

"Quite frankly it's embarrassing and frustrating"
Why? Why is it embarrasing and frustrating?
It is a game. You should enjoy it and relax and maybe grit your teeth. It does not make you less of man or a woman and you should not let it get to you in such a way that you want to stop playing.
You know what is embarrasing? A proctological examination carried out by a long-fingerd customs officer wearing a magnifier and a high-beam head-torch surrounded by other customs officers all joking “ don’t forget to take your finger out ” or “ I think I left my ring in there!”
Or maybe the wife and the local vicar walking in on you in the sitting room while you are parading up and down in front of the mirror whilst wearing lingerie.

Frustrating as to improve your hangar you need gold ... if you are always losing you don't earn gold ...
If you win and are at the bottom in terms of damage you get no gold
losing a lot in a 'streak' is frustrating

But that happens to most of us anyway. It happens to me. I am at the point where I do not earn enough Ag to upgrade to the next level or it is taking a long time. But I still play and I still find some funny moments in the game that keep me going back and getting thrashed and sometimes I give as good as I get (but yeah, mainly I get thrashed). Ups and downs, swings and round abouts.
The point is there are so many other things in life that can get you down. A game should be the very last thing.
This time next year, I will take over the world and its mammaries....

I'm always here to bring a positive message and the good news to you here, is that once you will be at 0% of win-rate, you may only go up from there.

I experienced something similar. I was in Diamond II(iOS), hanging around the middle of the pack with a hanger that contained 9/9 lights and 7/8 med/heavy. I went on a really nasty losing streak and wound up in Diamond III with a 38% win percentage. At that point I thought, "what the hell?" and took out my heavies and upgraded my mediums... so my hanger was basically 9/9 with 3 lights and 2 mediums. From there I've been on a winning streak and am now sitting at about middle of Diamond I. The weird thing is that the MM is basically forcing me to win. I'm playing A LOT of games against Expert, Champion, and Master players, so most of the time I'm just along for the ride. My hanger has about half the health/firepower of pretty much everybody in my league, so I expect I'll get dragged back down to Diamond III before long. The way leagues/MM is set up you are really at the mercy of the algorithm... there doesn't seem to be much you can do to improve your standing besides waiting for the MM to allow it.

Give me beacons, damage or kills any day... um ya, last time i had this task it took me TWO days to win 8 games. Two days of about 3 games every hour or so. So I will be skipping this task also. |

Was at 60-70% win rate, suddenly I started losing every single match. Top damage in nearly every game, but MM consistently threw me on "loser teams". 4-5 wins in 30 matches. Not even random-vs-squad matches (which I'd expect to lose most of), but even in random-vs-random matches, blue team was consistently considerably worse than red. Don't know how to explain it other than MM had it in for me. Got to 28% win rate before it got better.

I am facing a similar performance streak. I went all the through Diamond tier in March and was within 30 points of challenge battles for Expert in last few days of the month. I stayed in Diamond I for April and have been fluctuating high 3100's - mid 3000's. Over this past weekend I hit a wall, my War Robots had been 50%-66%, then I have plummeted to 36%. All the variaitions of tankers, leavers, non performing blues, plus my kwn bad piloting etc.. etc..
Its like there was a switch was thrown and I was put into a MM que with a vary small possibility of victory. I have usually underpowered in weapons levels so adding to the frustration:
-occasional random Win - score in bottom 3
-common loss - score in top 3
Either way I am earning little to none in terms of Au. I have done well with my stockpile of Ag $300 million, so I want Au. I want to speed up some weapons upgrades!

Thts y I'm tired of this game.
Y can't we have, say 80% win rate (without tanking)?
Most ppl have circa 50%. It's match fixing. Plain stupidity.

I'm frustrated trying to figure out how to stay in the "leaver league", just because it's so fun! |

Oops sorry. Not awake enough yet to be replying to comments. So "eyepfreely" you say I'm frustrated trying to figure out how to stay in the "leaver league", just because it's so fun!
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or if you're kidding? I guess it wouldn't be much of a punishment if people are actually enjoying playing in the "leaver League" and wouldn't that make the whole tanking issue worse if people wanted to play in that League? That's like suspending a kid from school and he has to stay home when he doesn't want to be at school to begin with.
I'm having the same problem everybody else is, that is I can't seem to win these days. I'm not that good of a player to begin with and the best I've been able to do is 56% win rate and now I'm back down to 50% and I know it's going to get a lot lower. I'm not going to sweat it anymore because I take these opportunities to try out a few different robots and weapons combinations and I'm still trying to have fun while I'm having my arse handed to me. I do feel bad for the rest of the blues on my team when I am underperforming. With a five bot 8/8 hanger and Silver and Gold hard to come by it'll be awhile before I can get my equipment up into the nines or tens.
Meantime I'll keep slugging away or trying to claw my way back up. I seem to float between silver league 3 + 2 going back and forth at a pretty regular pace. There's a lot of tough competition there and occasionally I come across someone who's running a 12/12 hanger who are either on their way back up from a lower league or on their way down. Doesn't really matter much the end results the same a loss.

Normally, I'd say I was playing well, but the wins just aren't coming.I don't get it. Anyone else experiencing something like this? Yes - absolutely.....it caused me to take a 3 week break from the game. I was working my way to Masters 3 and then just got my butt kicked with all kinds of crazy matches which lowered my desire to play and blunted my game skills.i was getting a lot of Champion league in red squad but gold and lower on blue squad - just dumb matches that were not even close to winnable. And some matches with the tankers ditchers present. So I just stopped playing...stopped doing my dailies for the first time in more than a year, stepped out of my clan as my activity trophies went to zero, and stayed awhile for awhile. I just started playing again yesterday and had a bunch of great matches that I enjoyed. Felt like I was piloting my bots better because I actually looked forward to the matches. Best of luck to you. |

So I got here because I googled "War Robots horrible loss streak". Now I don't feel so bad.My scenario is almost identical to the poster. I'm nos considering taking out a couple of heavies to see if that helps, but this is the second or third time I've moved up to Diamond 1 and then just got thrashed over and over.

I actually changed out a "win 8 battles" daily task as I was winning nothing ... beacon tasks I can manage:( . Hey, don't feel bad. That is exactly what is happening to me today with the win 8 business. I've been sitting with my sick 94 year old father-in-law all day and with not a lot to do I've played 21 games and won 5. At this point I'm not giving in, but Jeeze-Louise, this game gets crazy at times ! What is up with this thing ? BTW, this all started a couple days ago just after I got to Gold League 1. I got kicked back to G.L. 2 within a day and have struggled since.  . |

My advice? Swap up that hangar! Seriously, park the A-Team and get those second stringers in there. Then fight like hell for the win. You won't expect to win, hopefully you can just blissfully shout "Game over, Man! Game over!" as your bots come apart at the seams. But you may find it fun again and you may stumble over a win. Forget the grind and get back to the basics. The leagues will be waiting for you when you decide you want to put your 'best hangar' back in. God, I hate that phrase of Pix's...

UPDATE: I swapped two heavies out for two lights - I'm 2-2 now, streak is busted, but I've got a long way to go to get back the 150 or so points I've lost.

Same problem here! Sometimes out of 10 battles i play continuously, 7-8 game result are LOSE.
I also get the feeling where my weapons are degraded to level 1. Why? I was sure i would win in a Pdb vs Pdb battle due to his Hp is lower, i wasted few rounds of his tarans(time for him to reload), then i fight face on! 1 to 1 like a real man, i lost.
Lastly, most of the time it was a great start, great game, ending point, LOSE! Left either me alone or few others to vs a full 6 other player.

So frustrated. Something has changed certainly. Im not as good as the rest of you but was typically put with other players of my skill level. Now, its like im the sacraficial lamb for you guys. Its not just no fun any more its utterly frustrating. I play maybe a hour a day and used to win 50% of the time and earn gold on maybe 30% of those wins. It kept me inspired to keep playing, learn to play better, and actually have purchased about $30 in gold to help build robots faster.
I am now so frustrated with the constant poor match ups putting people like me agaist experts like many of you that im uninstalling. Theyre not gettng any more money from me.

My problem is I am not making much Ag per match. When I am losing, deducting the repairs, just about 50K, and that after making 350K ish in damage. 「whiskey tango foxtrot」? How do I get more?
