Mender has been fun. It can shine once in a while as a late game Titan supporter. I have my Tyr in my hanger as a late game Titan healer. I hung out between two Newton’s yesterday locking stuff down for them. Honestly, it felt icky.

Today, truth. 3 matches in this order:
Match 1: Springfield, we had them the whole match despite their multiple Crisis. Then they brought out at least 3 maxed Newtons. 「neat-o」 P2W dipsticks.
Match 2: Carrier. Decent fight. We kinda had them back-footed for most of it. Yes, I put an annoying AF ball, then Loki on their HB just to keep them turned around. They had one unleveled Newton. We won despite being DOWN ONE player.
Match 3: Yam. They had a Crisis or two, so did we. Good fights. I did my usual holding down center for most of it. It took multiple bots, but Loki and Balls are pretty good there. A fair amount of Titan brawling including a red, maxed Newton. The Newton got my first ball but not the second. It took a Luchador to whack my second ball. Out comes my Rook, a little clean-up on our LB, then fly to CB to brawl away with all comers until we won, despite being DOWN TWO players. Really, two. #happydance
WOOF!
Beacons people, beacons!

I think I should change my name to MoneyBall. Horrible damage stats but I win games now and then. ![](https://i.imgur.com/10xnZN2.png)

Mine is up 2% from its low yesterday. ![](https://i.imgur.com/oauukMS.png) My rating keeps climbing while the win rate drops. 😫

My rating keeps climbing while the win rate drops. 😫 Last night it got a boost from clan play, but when I play in the mornings I’ll try to keep it at 50-70%.

So⦠I too am tired of the current meta but Loki can still hang in there. I just beat an SOB with full meta ocho/newton and the blues held their own.
Loki does put the blues down on damage but potentially way up on beacons. I can basically hold a beacon forever against an 「neat-o」 Newton.

Update:
One Ochokochi is a PitA but with my morning crew I can deal with the current meta. Two working as a pair can boot anything far too hard off the map.
Skyrim with the suppressor pilot is a sorta counter. Tank his damage until his ability ends, unball/suppress/whamwhamwham.
The Lokis hate the Orochi with the latest pilot puts the smack on Loki but the pilot isn’t everywhere.
Up against a clan with many Ochokochis hurts a lot but I don’t see clans much in the morning.

One thing I love about this hangar is that other than PCs it is mega low maintenance. I’m kinda nerf-proof. Looks like I found my niche, “Win games and be annoying AF while doing it.”
This is probably the longest serving #1 hangar I’ve ever had in 4 years. Ochokochi still suck but they’ll get nerfed.

I have to give it to you Oliver, it really is great to see you finding your fun. Hearing that may sound kinda silly at first, like “Well I’ve been doing it for a while, it’s nothing all that special”, but it actually is. A lot of spenders/Champion League players seem to hold themselves to one (very restrictive) style of play, that of course being that they have to win as many battles as possible, ideally getting first on the team. And these players of course go all in on this mentality for as long as they can, thinking “As long as I am having fun and (more importantly from what I see) are winning, the money I spend is worth it”. This mentality is not bad in of itself, as any entertainment money is worth it if fun is had, but it has the critical weakness of being completely and utterly inflexible, so when these players realize they have been had or their money is not bringing the expected results, these players can have some pretty spectacular (in a bad way) fallouts with War Robots.
One does not have to search for long to find examples of this happening. The forums have had many examples, the biggest in recent memory being Shawngonnakillyou, Facebook apparently has players having massive blowups about being done with the game on the regular, and even small outlets like 6 Pack or competitive clans see it happen. It is just saddening to see the sheer number of players that go full throttle on building power hangars for every meta cycle and then go out with a bang (as in a rant on social media) when this strategy, like all things, eventually stops working. They just cannot see any other way, due to a sense of accomplishment/progress, pride/perception of reputation, or the good old gambler’s fallacy.
So that is why I applaud you Oliver. You are one of the rare examples of a competitive player that was able to scale back the amount of time/money you put into the game without just stopping all at once and, more importantly, were able to change your approach to the game to be able to find fun in a variety of things. You are doing something that most players of your type consider themselves unable to do. Keep going Oliver!

Well said, and good on you for saying it. Oliver has seen all sides of this game and remained a benchmark for sanity. He sets a great example for us all. Good mod. You too.

The latest morning crew: ![](https://i.imgur.com/11K2YIG.png) Damper/Tamer is sickly OP. No huge reason to take them past 2.4. You either have them or you don’t. Does the enemy die fast or even quicklier. Quickliest? Most quickliest?

And Loki STILL earns a spot. PitA devil.
Dagon is full lockdown mode. Deny them movement.
