The win rate is just too funny... PIXO does not care about MM -period-.

like i have said before. If they possess ANY champs cups, they should be relegated to certain leagues and stay there and unable to drop past a certain league.

I refer to the winged cups as the ‘Mark of Cain’

Some might take this as, "if you can't beat them, why not join them", but in all honesty... how does one drop in leagues? Seriously, is there a button for that (or maybe an ad I can watch?) ][_ (0) ][_ (0) ][_ It would be mind-numbing (as if this game is not enough so, hint-hint) to tank the number of games needed to drop a full league or two or three (at 3 levels per league, thats like nine levels, 50 games per level = some 500 games of just sitting there, I don't get it). OMG. And all this, just too whale on some newbies? Or, are they hacking the game and adjusting their league rating thusly? Seriously, I don't understand the actual mechanics of "tanking". Much less do I understand the reasoning behind why PXIO has not put a full stop to it. Inquiring minds what to know!  |

The way to ethically drop leagues (not tank) is to set level caps and/or forgo using super powerful equipment and allow your outclassed hangar to underperform in spite of playing well. Then you will fall through the leagues until eventually reaching equilibrium. This takes a while and can be frustrating, but it is the best way. |

I was in champs, last summer, for all of 2 months. So I had over 5000 cups, and only won 120 champ cups. I am currently in Masters 2, sometimes down to masters 3. I dont tank, but I also dont chase meta. I have 5 hangars of all spider bots, but mostly run arachnids, weylands, and invaders. BECAUSE of this, I end up losing more than winning, but I also play a solid mix of champs and masters, sometimes experts. And even they have a ton of mk3 gear.
Look up the cup requirements for each league and its levels. I honestly wouldnt be surprised if I am in expert by next yr the way some of this OP meta is just melting stuff.

Then you will fall through the leagues until eventually reaching equilibrium. This takes a while and can be frustrating, but it is the best way. Understandable... and good to know. Thanks. I was self-capping at 1.7/7 (bots/weapons), but some pocket change was burning a hole and I splurged for a few MK2 bots w/ weapons. I was hovering between Expert I-II before, now I've risen to between Exp. II-III. No worries, its all good... just heck of frustrating to face off Masters League folks (low skill, big spenders?) with lots of MK3 setups. My new level cap is going to be 1.9/7 (more bot health) and I'll leave the MK2 stuff mostly as it is. I do try to max out the modules, although they are are ranging between 3 or 6 (20-25 Titans), module pending. Thanks again. Just say NO to hackers/tankers!!! |

Then you will fall through the leagues until eventually reaching equilibrium. This takes a while and can be frustrating, but it is the best way. Thats dancing a fine line 079 It can be. Eventually, you get a sense of where the equilibrium is and what it takes to elevate you quickly. For example, When I climbed into Champion a-month ago, it’s because I was running a Blindy Nodens (++ healing, decent damage), Shotgun Skyros (++ beacons, decent damage), and a few other things that give good damage. I rocketed from M3 and through M2 in a blink. Seriously, it was like 3 days to M1. Eventually figure out what it takes to stay within a window. It’s easy to do if your window is too league tears. It’s more constraining if it’s only one. Harder to manage things if you artificially limit what robots and guns you use 100% of the time. |

I limit everything across the board. That way I play whatever I want as hard as I can. I don’t have a God hangar I can put in. My 11 Titans are capped at 10/10/50, with L8 weapons and L3 modules. I do have that 2.1 Hades I bought accidentally, I should probably sell that. Of course, I keep it as Vader’s Personal Tie Fighter so I think I’m ok.  |

Thats dancing a fine line 079 It is, but it is not as bad if you think about it. I would bet that most of us already level cap, but make exceptions for bots we like or bots we want to be competitive. If we axe the latter exception, that already makes falling through the leagues much easier. I think something people forget is that finishing low on teams honestly matters more than winning or losing (first on a losing team gets plus five points, while last on a winning team gets minus two points). If you have a weak hangar that consistently places in the lower half of a team, you can fall through the leagues with no changes to your playstyle. It just boils down to the classic letting go of the meta everyone preaches on here. Stick with your current, level capped bots and the system will place you where you belong. |

it's just an endless stream of them , most of the games i've played i play hard i don't mind the odd mk-2 hanger or even scattered mk3's here and there they are managable but when most players are running maxed in low leagues it gets tiresome and pointless to even try , played a game yesterday and one guy in mk3 - 1 bot killed my entire team besides myself , i fought and managed to kill him and low and behold he was back in an instant with another mk3 rinse repeat......one guy killed my entire team effortlessly leaving me alone to face them all .....i'm currently in D2 they had all beacons and i was left fighting against mk3's ....so game over pointless and worthless.

The only cap i had was silver lmao Jokes aside I dont see that being much if any better than tanking and so as the coc demands i will not advocate for it |

Did you mean to qoute me? yep coz i agree with your point of tanking not being the answer and many agree as my pic shows ....just been in a few more empty games then turned it off - no one wants to play against tankers simply because they cannot in any way compete so they are going to kill the game at this rate ....it'll go with less and less games then tankers WILL be forced against high league players (better equipped and skilled) they b!tch and cry for a bit then leave themselves. |

At some point, which may be here already, it will simply become more economical for the masses to cheat/hack (whatever you want to call it), than to purchase endless amounts of Pigsonic garbage. You get some fool who dropped G-Large money on the game with max'd mega hyper meta, only to have some chowder-head who dropped $50 on cheats/hacks completely wipe the floor with him and all his meta. Anyone who thinks leveling up more will fix that scenario is mentally deficient to the point of needing adult diapers, copious amounts of psychotropic drugs, and a ban from the internet.

The only cap i had was silver lmao Jokes aside I dont see that being much if any better than tanking and so as the coc demands i will not advocate for it Tanking is dropping down to lower leagues with a hangar that belongs in higher leagues to pound on the players there. What I am describing is permanently limiting or nerfing your hangar so that you can go to the lower leagues and assimilate into their ecosystem. My account has winged cups from when I clawed my way into Champion League four years ago, but now I am in Expert III with a less powerful hangar than most of my peers there. This is simply because my level caps and lack of meta equipment eventually meant staying in the higher leagues was no longer sustainable, but since I do not care about the leagues, I let myself fall down. |
