I don't feel much exitement for getting new things anymore. Like i bought a loki and behemoth. My very first ones
and i had no joy. I'm getting tired of HAVING to buy stuff in order to win a game or shake things up, i mean,
war robots isn't much fun when you lose everytime right? but having to constanly put time and money down for a game is just...
idk... sorry if i'm laying it all on your guys. But a game is meant to be FUN not stressfull, i want to play a video game. Not have to make my 「fluffernutter」ing job. I just want to say that sooner rather than later i will reach my breaking point.

I’m sorry you aren’t enjoying yourself. Everyone has their own thing (or plural, things) they look forward to with this. For some they go for wins. I used to as well.
Then I realized the odds are stacked against you, particularly if you don’t pay for all the best toys.
I stopped caring about wins and losses all that much. I still try, but if I lose? So be it.
Now I play for fun. I like building oddball builds and try to make them work reasonably well. Wins and losses are secondary or tertiary to that goal now.
I have a good bit more fun now. That approach isn’t for everyone, though.

Other two options to keep having fun besides Poopoos recommendation is to:
- Play 6pack
- Start a new account, and only play up to silver league, then either ‘manage’ your league when you approach gold league, or start another new account and keep having fun.

Personally a good way to have fun is to enjoy your own death. When you die, try to learn from it like a puzzle game, and find a way to float in the stacked odds. Even if you don't kill anyone, if you made them think or got someone killed, you can relish your playstyle and apply it to a new scenario.

it's an off-grid league, where you self-limit your robots to level6, and it's all pre-dash (I think). others can tell you more

It's actually not that bad in lower leagues anymore. MK2 deals are cheap now, and if you buy the right ones they can last you ages. I saw a Spear Khepri one the other day.

Currently I'm building a Gendarme/ Criussier set for my Ao Ming; it's fun getting kills with my level 1 and 2 Criussier's and level 8 Gendarme ( I still have my level 25 Vengeance for now but next week I'm going to replace it for another Gendarme).
Even though I have level 15 cyclones and a level 18 Vengeance as older stronger weapons, and I usually don't get any kills in my current state, I'm genuinely having fun, because I have to be smart, and it's hilarious killing mk3 Fenrirs with a level 1 Criussier.
Of course within the next few months I plan to have it maxed out, but it will be more fun then when I can kill people with the setup I idolized for so long.

You just have to let go of the meta. Stop buying things to become more powerful and stop worrying about what your team thinks of you. Just run what you want, try your best, and there is nothing wrong with falling a league or two to achieve a healthier relationship with the game. I have been running my own hangar in Master III for about three years, but as of about five months ago, I began falling though Expert League because my hangars are not adequate anymore. I’m almost at Diamond League and am not looking back, because I am doing what I enjoy.

You will likely have to make sure you are not going too well with those mark three bots. |
