We all know the great rebalance recently provided us as tributes to more whales and pushed majority of us into higher leagues. I was browsing around after a few matches and noticed one thing in particular that I know has no real meaning, but it’s interesting none the less. it’s no secret alot of folks have scaled back their game time, I myself play maybe 2 days a week now, usually 1, and only for maybe an hour unless it’s time drops. That said, I cracked back into champs last month. And in that same time I went from 140 champs winged cups to now having over 400. Now I lose way more matches than I win, hence why I play less, this game has taken any last ounce of fun from it. So riddle me this, how in the hell do I more than double my champs cups in the span of a month yet play way less? I am putting this image here as a reference/base line from here moving forward for reflection.

Seems this is a common thread but maybe not laid out as succinctly as you did. Seems there is some planned or unintentional scheme to push players higher. Knowing the type of bots you are running and general feeling about the game it does not seem logical you would be doing so well in Champions League. 48% Win rate seems more or less on par but the 2.1 bots per battle and 0.2 Mechs does not seem like META, CH League play, minnow crushing play. Obviously... NO OFFENSE meant here, as former Clan Mates and long time commenters, just looking at this reasonably. Perhaps upper leagues really are being depleted and they need renewed fodder?? Who knows. Leagues, progression and matchmaking have been an obscene joke for 3 years now... nothing new there. Good on you, MUNKEEEE, for keeping fighting the fight! Though I have not deleted the game from my iPad (perhaps clinging to some change of ownership or meteorite strike on PIX's HQ) but I have not played in >4 months now. Not even opened the game. Check into the the forum now and again to see what is going on and clearly NOTHING has changed. Anyway... congratulations on all the winged trophies! (Back to the spectator bleachers for me.)

TerrorStorm, No offense taken bro, you and I go back quite a few yrs and we always been open with each other, wayyyy before we came to this forum. It’s a little thing I noticed, just because it helps give a glimpse into the behind the scenes goings on. Most here know my hangars are the furthest thing from meta. Most meta thing I run are bubble guns on my titan, after that, radiation weps on an arachnid. But since stats tell a tale of their own, and like you mentioned from other posts on the board currently speaking about tanking and meta hangars in lower leagues, it just begs to ask how this happens? I should be going way down the ladder if we are talking just gear we run. I guess being the aggressive player I always try to see the needs of the field and act accordingly. We need bacon, I go sneaking for that pork. Distraction, that’s my bread and butter operating tanks. And always happy to pop a few reds as I work.

Yeah your last 50 battles stats are similar to mine, they got me in champion league as well and my hanger has typhoons, seraph, mars and an interchangeable bot, sometimes fenrir. Titan is Ao Ming with blinders.. lol.. You are right, they are trying to put more in champion, probably for cannon fodder, but something else is going on too I think... Possibly pigsonic realizes that player base is shrinking so they are pooling everyone together to defeat the matchmaker. I mean if you put in Quick match, most of the time any more there is near zero wait time, it's that fast. That tells me they have successfully pooled so many people together they are basically bypassing the matchmaker all together. This way no announcements in War Robots game media, no restructuring of the broken matchmaker (that they know full well is broken) no worry about rewriting programs, saving time with expensive programmers etc etc.. and they can dismiss any feedback from people claiming matchmaker is broken, simply by stating, "you are in champion league, whats the problem?" "your wait time is low, what's the problem?" To me this looks like cheap, lazy, and greedy game writing... Lets face it, after awhile playing against Newtons, Ochokochi, near unbeatable Luchador and Indra (hense all the new titan pilots). Try and kill one of them with non-meta weaponry.. So they are betting that you and me are going to get tired of it, and start rage buying for the best just so you can have the newest and latest to fight the newtons, Luchadors and Ochokochi and what ever else they scheme up to drive up sales... it's a win win, win for whales, win with the smucks getting tired of finishing 5th and 6th place every game in champion league.. Pigsonic is doing what they do best, take our money and care less about the game ... the game is just one big cash cow to them, nothing more.

The krillevator is real. What else needs to be said? i am either totally lost in the rebalancing of the stats, or something is very wrong. 4 weeks ago I had 120 champ winged cups. Even you know we take more beatings than Ws on time drop nites. So how in the hell did I more than double my cup count in a month?? Thats impossible, especially the limited time I am putting into this game

This player has entered the chat. They had a pretty stacked hangar too with all the good stuff to survive in LL.

Just told my buddy offline im done, when he comes on I'll talk to him... but I'm done, I spent about 18 bucks today, bought some red cards, got 「dookie」 That was the straw..I wanted to get a couple of the lightning bolt guns, but didn't happen... this new card lottery they have is by far the worst set up for players, best setup for Pigsonic. You need a red card for good weps, and purple cards for the good bots... now you could spend 20 bucks at a pop and get a gold card, but even then you just might not get the bot you want anyways, or you might see doubles.. least before, you spend 20, 30 bucks late in the event, you'll get the bot or titan you want, and the good weps that go with it, plus a bunch of other cool stuff when you finish a line off.. This was the last straw for me, and yes I will close the account... I can definitely see that .. im done totally...

I think pushing everyone to champion, guys like me and other that are either non spending or very light spenders is Pixonic game plan to get rid of us all together. They just want a game of spenders now. It wasn't too bad when we could hang out in Expert or Master III, II, or I and we put up with a champion full meta game once in a while, now running at 5100-5200 cups its all full meta, game after game.. last game I played, 4 Newtons were tossing blue team like we were a bunch of rag dolls. 3 guys on red had multiple ochokochi bots... That's when I decided enough is enough. This is not even close to playable for me... Good luck to all those that are still playing.. I just gave the reasons why I am laying down my sword.. It was a good run, had a lot of fun with this game, but for me, I just have to let it go. I suggest keep using bendies, they still pack a punch, that, from my experience seem to cut meta bots pretty well. Fainter and them seem too soft now.. Good luck friends, I'll keep my eye on the forum at times..

I can definitely see that .. im done totally... I'm still having some fun, yeah some games are meh, but it's not worth chasing my own tail by hoping to get this or that from the lotteries. This total BS of having to run multiple lotteries and different cards just for a small chance you get what you want should be criminal. If I want an item, just give me the option to buy it FFS! But what's the point? My hangars are full of bots and weapons that I would have loved when they first came out but now they are obsolete. I don't blame people for leaving, I've thought about it many times but there's still nothing out there that rivals this gameplay so I'll have my free fun on pixonics dime and others can pay to keep the lights on.

Way too much social engineering, and Pigsonic cant possibly defend it, so they dont even try.
If I played regular matches still I'd probably be in the Legendary Super-Hyper-Mega-Champion-League already... F33r m@h w1ck3d Mk1.11 W3yL@nd you Ocho/Newton 「illegitimate child」s!

Well I came here to announce I would be stepping away from this game for a bit, due to I just can’t mentally deal with the never ending bs from this game. Yeah, I said when. Over 6 yrs in, got my dream hangars, but it’s just not enough. Then I decided, I can’t beat them, so I’m gonna do what I want. I put in team 4 shown below. I die quick, then I leave. I try, I don’t tank. But I’m done for now. I may play a match or two here or there, but yeah, this game is getting benched. I have other things I wanna do. Sorry time drop folk, but I gotta think of me, and this game brings me no entertainment currently. See you grinders around maybe. yea, that’s right. I can count how many games I played in the last few weeks, so how the F did I gain almost 400 cups when I have a 30% win rate?!? We aren’t krill, not minnows, we are BAIT. well, not me anymore…

I may still play the game, but if it disappeared tomorrow I would not feel too bad. I just play when I want since controlling big robots is still fun all these years later. That is about the only thing that is still fun about this game though.

I was hesitant to hit this thread again, given this new turn, but I would regret it if I didn't. You've been one of the inspirations in this forum munkeeeeNot just for the obscene number of legs in your hangars, but for your determination to stick to your own 'ruleset'. The meta flux flows over your hangar without touching it. My own hangar has changed very little over the years, and I've gone that way because I knew it could be done. I've seen it. The dude's in 「fluffernutter」ing champs.

Me, I went with spiders, ALLLLLLL spiders. And I achieved that, with pretty good success to include the journey getting there. Its funny because one of the time drop folk asked me recently about the UE invader. My reply was I built my dream hangar, especially after I got my unicorn in the form of the arachnids. I put together 5 hangars of spiders and had a blast. I'm not quitting, not at all. I am just putting myself in a timeout. I need a break from the current direction which is ruining this game. I understand its different in some leagues, but in champs its wall to wall meta, whales, OP nonsense. And I decided to take a break. Not mad, not angry, not raging out, no breaking things or doing anything to cause harm. I just think this is a good spot for me to step back, and just observe for a bit. Figure out if this train is going to right its course of head further down the wrong track.

So in little under a month, WHILE ON A BREAK FROM THIS GAME, I’ve honestly played maybe 3 games, weeks ago. I still read the boards here from time to time, and login to browse my hangars and collect free stuff. So this morning, I found a bit of a surprise. Not bad for a guy NOT EVEN PLAYING. I posted the first pic on Nov 20. Today is Dec 14, almost a month. And the pic below is what I see. Please tell me this is a joke right??? Nov 20. Today.
