I'm still waiting for fewer tankers in the NQ. I still see them often, usually in blue, occasionally in red. I don't think it's working like they think it is.
Although, connection problems seem worse of late (especially in squad), and I've had several clan members say the same. No doubt some I suspect of tanking just fell victim to bad connection or game freeze.

even solutions like
upgrade discount chip (upgrade cost -25%, 30%, 10% ) Masters League season reward for staying the while season bla bla bla.. or random drop in same leaugue matches
or upgrade time chip season reward -25%, -10% , -40% depending on the leauge bla bla bla - or random drop on same league matches
oe league decal piece/ whole decal etc etc..
plus tons of other suggested solutions by the playerbase, the bottom line is...
Higher Leagues are not worth it and its less rewarding

mcyl, good observation. on the flip side in the NQ the MM will beat you to 50% with skill, without skill, with what ever bots, with or without team work……… none of this is easy.

Yeah it will eventually but squads with comms facing insurmountable odds is fun. And when we do win it's against hangar several grades higher and pull off by pure positioning. That's the type of gameplay I like.

indeed. Squadding is one way to temporary overcome the MM and it is the best way to go (esp with a 12/12 ). those in clans with such activity should consider themselves fortunate as they have the best gaming experience.

Its rather sad that many of those in the NQ do not realise that Pix has some sort of strategy with that queue. why would they add two extra maps to the LQ but not to the NQ. so LQ guys have two additional maps to play on. maybe some sort of testing ground like the test server. Making LQ like a permanent testserver would be nice, but I think you are wrong about "additional maps", there is none currently.

There is no hope for maxed hangar tankers, and there is no profit either. The profit is with newer players, mid level players, and there is still hope for them. The best thing to do is prevent making more tankers and encourage people to play at thier leagues through incentives.
People will likely respond positively with incentives rather than punishment.
from a new players point of view, going up leauges is just thesame rewards, less fun, and not worth staying

But not with the first one. Maxed hangar tankers get tons of gold to buy new robots/weapons or simply to get more league points. I agree that incentives work better than punishment, just should be considered which incentives will work and which won't.

i almost exclusively play solo and maybe that's what I enjoy about LQ is that most often it's 3v3 or maybe 4v4 and usually I can carry my team to a victory if I can get even a slight contribution from my teammates. When I'm in NQ there is more people on my team so therefor my overall impact on the outcome is diminished and I lose more. So LQ is great to you because you like being a big fish in a small pond? When you lose though, it's because your teammates didn't contribute in the slightest? This is kinda what you are implying. not really what I'm saying, I more often than not am facing opponents equally gear or better geared than myself. I'm not rolling with a max hanger, maybe you should come to LQ sometime to see that it isn't the sealclubbing fest so many believe it to be.

I started this Feb, and flyed through bronze-silver, stopped at Gold, then moved up to Diamond. Had several games with Expers. I would say that playing in Experts league (iOS) is a reward itself. - No stupid players there
- Everybody knows what a "beacon" is
- You are playing as a team
- Bots are very diverse (think "Trebuchet Vityaz" or "Zeus Golem")
- There are no abundance of Ancilots
But, played several games with Champions, I would say that "Expert" is as far as I would suggest going for fun.

SunTsu. I am curious about what league u are in and whats in your hanger. I fluctuate between Diamond/Expert/Master. Mostly 10/10 and up Brit Bots with a Fury or Carnage thrown in if I want to play mid-range.

Pix has confirmed that rewards will be drastically reduced in the Kiddie Pool, and that League Points will not go up OR down for folks in there.
Also, no players below level 15.
I am quite happy.

I had no problem with the debate and even the good-natured banter. When you descended into trolling, I even gave you a friendly caution. But it's almost like you've run out of things to say that are constructive, and just want to flame and troll. Take a vacation and cool off, we'll see you in a week.

Locking this one, too. We've taken this topic as far as it can go. The Cliff's Notes of this 8-page thread would probably be no longer than two sentences.
