So.. after the latest BUFF, I go to experimenting with different setups, and lost about 100 down to GOLD1 from GOLD 2, then over the weekend, nothing, a couple wins, but I was drove all the way back to SILVER II while getting some of my best scores and kills in a LONG time.. PROBLEM was, these kinda dudes below ALL OVER GOLD1, down to SILVER II and I am sure if I kept losing ground they went further down than that.. Look at their amount of wins, a One of them is in a tow 20 CLAN.. Good thing there are no tankers, or faders otherwise something would smell fishy.. Seems if the start losing at all, the mech out and are gone.. If they are winning, they go balls to the wall.. For me.. at first it was frustrating constantly matching up against Pilots what should be in Diamond or better.. BUT NOW.. it is kind of nice playing against such a HUGE variety of BOT's.. its fun.. The difference in play between SILVER 2 and GOLD 2 is huge.. It is rare to see a Lance of any type, even Galahads are rare in some games.. And I got my sh$t painted, so you drop in the game and all the other bots DO notice you.. Some seem pissed, but like, its NOT my doing.. I have not seen a ROG in a LONG time.. BOA's, Griffs, Gepards, Natasha's ( a LOT of them) Cossack'sGolems, Pattons and Leos are pretty much standard.. The (ahem) tankers seem to be running silver hangers with lvl9 to 12 weapons.. Bots are usually 6, but range to 10's.. note the one, is a member of SITH a top 20 Clan.. I feel bad for the new players that are trying to work their way up in the game and are stuck dealing with all this almost every game.. They don't have a chance..

Oh War Robots Android, and matchmaker how we love thee. Come back to Gold 1, I have a nice 4 bot, 7/8 hangar waiting for you; I'll even make my rockets ignore your painted bots!

I had a horrendous losing streak, despite rising damage and kills. Dropped from Silver 1 to Silver II. I actually feel more comfortable with Silver II and this seems like a good spot to do experimentation with different builds.

Well, today I've been basically stable in Android Silver 2 (where I finished the season) with my 12 day old alt account:
Gareth 9, Taran 6, Magnum 5 Boa 5, Thunder 5, Orkan 6 Griffin 7, Pins 5&6, Tulus 5
Been getting some nice gold too (mostly MoCs, but some 2nd and 3rd damage positions too. Win% currently 56%.
So I would not say new players are screwed, any more than anybody is... it sounds like Android Diamond players are maybe most screwed, from what I read here.

I actually feel more comfortable with Silver II and this seems like a good spot to do experimentation with different builds. I dropped from Gold 2 to Silver 2.. It has been ugly.. But now getting back to good.. had to come out of my gold hanger and do a remix.. Now running a mix of bots.. GARY w/lvl8 Punisher and Aphids 2-Galahads one is a DB Galahand the other is a Taran/Mag/Punisher setup that has been much better than I thought it would be.. it has been very effective 1 GRIFF an RDB -- I was running 3 in Gold 2 an DB, RDB and ADB (Stukka) and a Carnage, usually with lvl 9 Thunders, but sometimes with lvl 7 Tridents or Zeus on it.. So far, this has been the most effective Silver 2 setup that has been doing great.

How do you guys even drop that far? Last time I went from 70% to 37% I only shifted from Silver I to Silver II

If you played horribly and always scored least in the previous system with 50% win ratio, you would lose (-18+12)/2 = -6 points per game. Now you will lose (-22+2)/2 = -10 per game. so it's about 66% faster for players to drop ranks.

So far, this has been the most effective Silver 2 setup that has been doing great. I quit all my Bribots for now. I plan to replace their plasma with rockets though. But for now --- Leo with Aphids and Thunder Leo with Pins and Thunder (looking to replace Thunder with Trident) Fury with 3 Zeus Griffin with Pins and Tulumbas Rhino with Pins and Tulumbas (alternate Doc with 4 Orkans)

I don't get it, I seem stuck in Silver II after the update. I've played like 40 matches tonight, started at ~40% and 1410 and now I'm up to 60% and DOWN to 1391! I don't even understand how that math works.

I don't even understand how that math works. Funky math. Sometimes it feels like the game doesn't like you. Right before you make that jump to the next higher league, ya get squashed.

Had NOTHING to do with horrible play.. and a lot to do with my style of play and what I found was the most impotant thing for my team.. Beacon capping For me.. It was because I was all about capping beacons.. I had a 66-72% win rate.. BUT I was always 5 or 6th place since I was capping beacons.. But I was capping 3-11 beacons per match With the new scoring change.. you get nick'd for being a beacon capper and constantly running beacons, since you are not going to score in the top 3 when you are running all over the place to do what a LOT of players forget to do.. Cap the freakin beacons.. So NOW, I have to care about --ME-- first and I had to build my hanger around points.. NOW I can lose matches and still climb in the brackets.. MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL.. but that is the current scoring system..

Cap the freakin beacons.. <snip> 「whiskey tango foxtrot」? In the official annoumment from Pix they are planning to make beacon capture more relevant to the score card. What's going on?
