Yesterday and today whether morning, afternoon or evening I spawn with only two or three bots against a full squad of six. This has happened before but not every single game for dozens and dozens of battles in a row. Has Pixionic entered a new bullsheeet mode into the LQ? Is anyone else encountering this?

Android or iOS? I've definitely been on losing team streaks in LQ which have been perplexing but I can't detect any actual match making patterns. I think it's just the smart , permanent residents of LQ continually leaving matches that don't look like winning teams until eventually they congregate onto one side.

I blame the LQ clans. I feel that they have been squadding way more and way frequently.

Anything goes in LQ. I end up fighting full squads of masters all the time.

Play session this morning, my first four matches were 1 on 5, 2 on 6, 2 on 5, 3 on 5. Lost them all, but only lost 48 league points.
Foolishly, I kept on playing. Rest of the session went another 4 and 8 or so. Brutal. Not my morning.
Games where my team spawns a full 6 (yay, what a novelty!) and the other team only spawns 4. Looks good for us. But 4 blues never move after spawning and all the reds are active. 2 on 4 when you first think you outnumber the reds is a bit of a letdown. All morning.

Clearly I'm in the LQ perm - I've played relentlessly against all the odds and am still not out after thousands of games. Screw it, I've just started leaving any battle where my side doesn't field enough bots.
It's actually made the game a lot more fun - no more worrying about having to hit 'leave' and incur that karma lie pixionic is spewing.
Play the games I want and quit when I want.
Aaaah, now that's the stuff.

i don't think Leavers Queue/LQ is as bad/prevalent as you guys think, this is just the way it works. sometimes i'll have a match or two where 3-4 people drop, and then the next match nobody drops, then back to 3-4 people dropping.
it may also be they aren't dropping/tanking, but rather disconnecting. there's something wrong with the game, after every 5+ matches the game will freeze and disconnect me even though my connections is perfectly fine,

Aaaah, now that's the stuff. Patience is all it takes. I needed 1 month and 1 day to get back to NQ. Meanwhile I played every single battle to the end, without skipping a single one and, most important thing, trying to enjoy each one of them. Sometimes got smacked, sometimes it went good, but you learn a lot down there... |

Aren't you guys worried about further accumulating the negative karma points in the Leaver Queue and being stuck there for hundreds of games once Pix drops the greatly reduced rewards for the LQ? If they follow through with it you won't be affecting your League Score, and will be getting severely reduced rewards, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Well what do you know, I'm outta the Leaver Queue. It seems you have to play utterly straight, not leaving once. Any leaving immediately resets you back to whatever 'zero' passes for in that small dusty raisin that acts as the LQ inventor's brain. When Moon Map appeared and LQ was suspended I found I could last okay and even get the odd gold in Champion League but my hanger doesn't last long now because of the new update, it's just a deluge of rockets again and again and again. But there's absolutely no tankers anymore. I guess the threat of no rewards in LQ is causing an exodus. So I ran a quick experiment and hit 'leave' a second into the battle ten times in a row. Poof, back in Leaver Queue. Played some battles, left the reviled Yamatau and Springfield when they were served up. A few dozens battles and no exit from LQ. Played ten battles straight without leaving and I was back out. So it would seem that for low level leaving, it's how many battles you left is how many you need to play honest, but go over a certain amount and there are either multipliers involved, or if you leave even once it wipes your entire slate. If you had left 200 times, you could have played 'honest' 198, you hit leave, boom, you are back to needing that 200 streak. Anyways, LQ was a lot of fun, the money from my stay with the fun lovin' criminals upgraded almost every weapon in my hanger from 9 to 12. I bought a Lancelot and got it to level 10, bought another who is at 6 and I bought it an ancile and a pair of orkans as well and even after that splurge am still sitting on just under 10K gold and 225 million silver which should max everything in hanger.  |
