Stop blaming the tankers and seal clubbers.
Not blaming any players behavior in that case at all, its merely what was observed. The results based on the scenario artificially (and needlessly) created by Pigsonic.
Quite the contrary, I blame Pigsonic entirely. That particular match was ruined for everyone in it, ruined at every level by Pigsonic's incessant need to wrangle people into situations not relative to their level/position.
I can clearly see why the player pool is dwindling at such a rapid pace.
i DO blame the players just as much as pixonic because pix can only give players what they WANT ......players WANT easy mode instant win cycles so of course pix abuses that want by making overpowered cr@p that these people are very willing to pay for .....pix ALLOW players to tank ....and because they pay they are fully allowed .....the report function serves little to no purpose at all and never has ...pix don't care about reports , in much the same way PIX has a hand in the whole hacking scene too .....now if people refused to BUY the latest and greatest and WANTED more of a fair game then pix would have no choice in the matter but people don't want that they want the rush they want the ego trip ...they want something to make themselves feel special even if they are essentially rubbish they have that desperate need to win at any cost and that is what pix plays on most...... anywho i couldn't care because i stopped playing weeks ago so the let the ego trippers claim innocence and ruin what was once a great game.

I was not blaming the players in that particular match for what was going on, it was a 「dookie」 show. I absolutely agree with your overall sentiment though

i find myself playing more with just a few goals in mind,
1. piss off as many as i can, be as annoying as possible 2. kill 「dookie」 along the way, and maybe grab a beacon or two
fun went out the door a long time ago. its all about being an 「bum-bum hole」 now. Pix does it, I learned from them. hahaha

...fine, I'll say it. You don't see me here hardly anymore because of the ãfemale dogãing about the game.I've been having a fine old time playing every day. I don't miss the complaining. I don't have wait time issues, I don't find matchmaking to be problematic, and I'm coping just fine with the changes in the game. They're not all great but since I don't live in the meta, I don't really care if meta 「dookie」 gets nerfed. I have been thinking this for a while, which is why lately I have tried to make a bit more of an effort to move threads to Rants and Revelations to maintain some cleanliness here. It at times feels like people just use this site as a hub to vent about bad matches and nothing else (I know this is not true, but it does feel like it at times). I rarely bother with the Rants section anymore because the discussion has not changed in months, just endless screenshots of hackers, tankers, and bad matchmaking. People have the right to vent obviously, but the sheer amount of it going on is getting rather exhausting. I am glad I am not the only one put off by the endless ranting, and it makes me all the more sure that semi-retiring from the matchmaker as opposed to enduring the pain was the right move Personally, I love the rants section. If anything it's a bit sad that it doesn't get much love anymore as it's a good place to just have a little chuckle and a nod in agreement when someone says something that resonates with you. I've given up being overly salty on this game and just play how I want to play, albeit way less that what I used to.

Bingo.
The super new weapons that wipe out your robot in a second lead to player dissatisfaction and people leaving, leading to insane teams being built that result in more player dissatisfaction and people leaving.
Circling the drain now.
The rot started 3-4 years ago. Now it has set in and is working its way up, turning floodboards into dust.

I've given up being overly salty on this game and just play how I want to play, albeit way less that what I used to. I agree that people have the right to vent about the game, and that the circumstances of the game are out of their control. I just personally do not want to spend my time reading dozens of near-identical threads about issues we all already know about. I honestly have to commend the mental endurance of the people here who play a bunch of matches every day and still have the energy to complain about it here afterwards. For months now I have been finding other ways to spend my free time, as I prefer not to bang my head against the wall that is the matchmaker. To each their own though, if you feel good about it afterwards, then more power to you.
