Tanker league I think has a time limit as well as a match limit. Wait 8 hrs and you should be back to normal What do you base this on? Actual communication from Pixonic or a wild-arse guess? I "skipped" 10 matches and got into the LQ. I played 12 matches and was still in LQ. I got tired after that so I slept. The next day it was back to normal. The first 10 matches that I played in full should have cleared my Karma but then again it may just be the server lagging on updating your karma score.

Wait... Wait... Let me absorb this more clearly:
Do you still get every gold and silver rewards in leaver's? I mean, piling "real" gold and silver you really can use to buy and upgrade everything that can help you when you get out to general population?

So, where is the punishment? When a leaver is out, did anyone sure that his/her amount of resources still cumulated like usual?

When a leaver is out, did anyone sure that his/her amount of resources still cumulated like usual? Yes. Tankers are being rewarded with heaps of gold and silver from unbalanced matches, because somehow droves of weak, low-level players are included in the queue. It has become a clubber's emporium. Matches in the normal queue have improved for most players, because there are less tankers. But Pixonic has created a very unfair situation for noobs and honest players. Unscrupulous players are making a 「dookie」-ton and getting ahead, every day making more rewards for upgrades. Meanwhile, Pixonic is "aware of the problem" and is working hard to make new Destrier skins inspired by their Power Rangers underwear.

A lot of people want it to be, but Pixonic never planned it to involve punishment. It is to separate the misfits from the normal population so normal games are not ruined. So far, it's doing quite well in that respect.

A lot of newbies seem to be caught in the LQ, can't be great for the population in the long run.

I'm guessing that there's a lot more newbies who are benefiting from the LQ than the few that have found their way in there. Since the LQ began, the regular games have been so much better I'm sure the lower leagues (bronze and lower) are better off too.

i am in the tanker league, and after thinking about it for a bit, i have decided that i won't stay in any battle any longer than i need to, if odds are against me i am leaving, i am confident that soon enough they are gonna shut it down for good.

Wait... Wait... Let's say Regular population is better NOW like some of you claimed.
What about tomorrow, when those "riches in reward" clear their karma back to general, and purchase everything they want, while some of us in general pops breaking necks by playing honestly to generate much lesser sum than they've got?
Pardon me if I must ask: What kind of sanity is that?

Pardon me if I must ask: What kind of sanity is that? I guess it doesn't really matter what they have or what they get out of it. If they come out and start leaving again, it will only be 10 or so games before they're out of the normal queue once more. They should probably lower the threshold further.

Dropped from 1500 to 900 --- after 80+ consecutive normal matches I am still stuck in the LQ. Not sure exactly what I have to do to escape at this point.

So it's my one week anniversary of being in Tanker Hell. I've been playing games pretty regular and haven't left once and am still in it. I entered as Bronze 2 and I'm now closing in on Gold 1. My last battle, I actually had these guys on my team. The enemy trident furies made short work of them. I think they exploded just from being looked at. Pixionic are going to lose them rather quickly I think. After buying my first Lancelot a few weeks back I am already back over 5K in gold and just broke 140mil in silver which should let me hoist all my Light and Medium weapons to level 12, just gotta sit through the update times and maybe even get those Thunders on my Lance and Carnage to 12 as well. Most battles see anything from one to three people not appearing or just ditching instantly. A few bronze and silver bots and the odd expert/diamond dude who most times just sit there in the back plugging away with the trident fury. They never seem to actually get into the rumble. So it's a handful of silver and gold duking it out in the middle while the experts provide fire support and the bronzes just get ground into metal flakes. Battles are either over quick with low damage and high beacons, or they rack up 900K from a vicious gouge fest in a 6 vs 6 or from sitting at the spawn point and ripping the entire red team apart as they appear or rampaging across the map slaughtering everything. Final analysis = High Level: It's glorious. Tackling the elite and trying to take down their maxed bots and skill. One on one duels with bots/pilots similar to yourself, and lots of snacking on lower level to pump up your cash while still having excellent matches. Mid Level: Some gold and lots of silver available, but you're going get a slapping from the higher levels as you do, so club the low levels as quickly as you can while taking fire from the higher levels or tune your piloting skills and strategy from taking them head on for a REAL challenge. Low Level: Dude, you are in for a rough time. You're not seals anymore. It actually takes a modicum of effort to raise a club and then bash in a defenceless animal's skull. This is no longer the case. Basically you are krill and everyone else is the whale just effortlessly hoovering you up for easy nourishment while going about their day.

When I see Squads (which is rare) they are always without fail the group ditchers before the game starts or they pop their corks as soon as they appear. Haven't encountered a Clan once though. I like the way the pummellings work. They occur every now and again, you are fighting some evenly matched guys and then you start seeing your team getting ripped. Get's the adrenalin going as you realise you have a REAL fight on your hands so time to get that 'A' game going and roll out every tactic you can. Likely you'll lose but getting to take down an Expert or Master player is sooooo sweet. And even if you fail, making that fekker really work for his ten gold?....

Crap, I'm out. Emerged into Diamond 3 and am now having to actually do some work Glad to have replenished all my gold during my stay with guys in Tanker Hell. I entered with almost none after getting a Thunder/Taran/Lancelot and now have enough to get another Lancelot and still buy an Ancilot for that fellow, trade out my Rhino and stick his two Orkans on that plump bot. Also almost have enough workshop to acquire two Tridents that I may upgrade in the hanger and then dump on my Carnage. I think there may be a level setting to emerge from the queue. I've played countless games but it wasn't until I reached Diamond for the first time that I immediately and suspiciously popped out. It may be looking at your bots and your level and until you reach a grade the game deems you 'at' it won't let you out.

i think the problem is the way you are looking at it. even though you think your in the 'tankers league' because 'people are dropping out' and 'there are bronze players mixed in with champion-league players', but i assure you thats just the MM. sorry, but what i'm saying is that what you are experiencing is actually just the real world,

The biggest difference is squad play. Mostly I play in 4/6 squads with my team mates.
Some of them are 4 bots, some are 8/8 bots.
But as a team in LQ we get to have a load of fun.
Downside is sometime we meet SDS squad tanking so we can get 5-10 matches of no reds until we break the cycle or they stop.
If we were in NQ, I wouldn't squad with the majority of my team mates as suckingbthem up in champ matches is not fair for them or myself.
Champ matches are Britbot Spamalot (which I am as well as otherwise you are not competitive).

This thread is seriously tempting me to give leaver queue a spin... No loss for me since I never play solo anyway. Aw hell no, don't do it. Even if you never solo that place sucks a** and the highly upgraded a**hats in it are some of the most 「fluffernutter」*d up people playing the game. I hate that place. Been in it since before the birthday event. Haven't left a single match or ditched any maps since being put in it. 8 hours my unhappy a**. I don't even bother playing my HEATHEN CAT profile anymore. porcupyne I was just looking at the Legends League roster. I recognize over 1/3 of those people as leavers queue regulars. I know there are a great many more not listed or lower ranked as well. So that's how you can become a true War Robots champion according to Pixonic? Tank until you get relegated to the LQ and beat snot out of far lesser upgraded players day after day? Wow. The parents of a great many of these people should have aborted in the 4th trimester.

The LQ is mostly full of Leavers, not Tankers.
There is a massive difference.
The assertions and surprises that people are writing about ref tankers making heaps of gold in the LQ... they are making either less or exactly the same as if they were in NQ. Not more.
Tankers that tank in the LQ fight LQ battles.
Tankers that tank in the NQ fight NQ battles against noobs and seal club for far greater gold.
When the LQ loses it silver and gold benefits those players chasing these will return to the NQ and then tank/fade to seal club and get monthly league gold rewards.
