If you start tanking and drop in leauges due to dropping out or using weak bots and you get in to the mixed leauges how long untill you get in to the normal leauges again?

I pretty sure I had been unwittingly tanking for a long time and when the new system dumped me in the tanker league it took a little over a day to get out. And I wasn't playing all day either so not that long.

I tanked from 1500 to 900ish to avoid bring seal clubbed and to try to play with light bots more... 80+ matches and I'm still in the leaver league

How do you know you're still in LL drake1588 ? After 80+ matches playing with light bots I think the MM has simply settled for that hangar you're using. When 2.5 first came out I did a tanking experiment--basically played with old silver tier hangar--lost a lot and my ave damage went from 600K+ to 300K+. After some time, it stabilized and I was getting matched against similar opponents. Not sure if this is still the case post 2.5. |

I'm still rotinely running into people in the 2500 to 5k brackets. Lots of 5-6 on 2-3 games. I'm back up to around 1660, having swapped to a normal hanger a few days before leaver queue went live.

Im at were i can climb anymore so im doing it right now That's no reason to tank. Instead, switch to capping hangar (which probably includes 1-2 fast heavy hitters for suicide capping contested center beacon), so you usually either get beacon gold and have to pay just +12 league points for it, or you get the reward of -18 league points. You'll be going down fast without screwing over your blue team, are in no risk of leavers queue (I assume...), and will get some Au on your way down. |

Doing this with my 2nd account right now - silver 3, and still only running lvl 3-6 bots with lvl 4-6 silver weapons, so not really able to move up and compete, but focusing on beacons. Keeping about a 58% win rate but staying steadily in the middle of silver 3 while building up gold and wsp to fit out my hangar for my next level jump in a few weeks. The different point awards definitely allow capper hangars to hold steady in a higher league with a decent win %. And a pure capping hangar would probably have me even dropping a bit while still keeping 50% win rate. |

It took mt eight days.
I think there may be a level setting to emerge from the queue. For the entire time I never left once and fought to the end even when massively outnumbered.
I just reached Diamond for the first time ever (never got past Gold 2 before) and 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. Just a guess.

I played selective maps about 2 weeks ago and was in Master 2, I have been stuck there solo for at least 200+ matches, I have since moved up to Champion League and it still shows no signs of letting me out. And.. Im ok with it... :-) |

I was placed in LL based on past misdeeds - I hadn't tanked / dropped for 100+ games prior to the introduction of "leaver protection". I played many games in the LL with no misbehavior, but I didn't get promoted out. So I took a break for a few days and when I returned things were back to normal (if a diamond player being thrown into expert-master-champion can be considered "normal")
