Every time Pixonic makes a change to Leagues, honest players go on huge loosing streaks. It is just maddening. Last 3 times my win % plummets to low 30s. From challenging for masters league to fighting to stay in Expert II.

From challenging for masters league to fighting to say in Expert II. It's you, not the game. You need a better hangar. You need to learn how to play better. Be a better teamplayer.

Can't agree with "better hangar"; Though can agree with everything else.

I've played this game since the early day's. Contributed to the early (pre-league) MM tier decoding. As such, I have hangers for every tier except max 12/12. I've beaten Legend squads while on a severely out matched solo team more than a few times. Your presumption that someone's skill and hanger is to blame is fairly disrespectful and not well thought out. I agree that players have to adapt strategy and hangers with the changing landscape, but I think your a bit off base in your argument. When you have several constants and one variable changes, wild deviations from previously consistent results points to something other than the constants.

Well, here we go again; I guess it must be fate. We've tried it on our own, But deep inside we've known We'd be back to set things straight.

I couldn't disagree more. The leagues and MM absolutely wreak havoc sometimes. When I'm humming along nicely making progress in Gold1 then all of a sudden lose 10 games in a row and facing maxed hangars, it's not my skill - I'm still the same player, it's not my hangar - which didn't change. It's the game. Whether intentional or just a side-effect of the system and people abusing it doesn't really matter. There are so many things that influence wins and losses that are completely outside the individual players' control.

Sorry, I am calling bull「dookie」 on this one. This is always the same excuse someone gives to try to explain random luck. Random luck as in 1)who you team with(except your clan). 2)who you team against
The only thing you can control is your hangar and thats about it.
Everyone on this forum has complained about losing streaks because they happen to us all. I could max out my hangar and will still have them.
To the OP, just tough it out and fight through and once you start losing put the game away for awhile.

Agreed, just seems they could do a better job of tweaking the system. The last 3 tweaks have started with me continually fighting higher leagues while I'm going backwards until my win % is below 35. I accept it, but I'm not thrilled about it...

From challenging for masters league to fighting to stay in Expert II. I'm having exactly the opposite experience. Gone from diamond to master, and I think of myself as an honest player.

I reckon that most of you are too set in your ways/playing styles and have a very hard time adapting. That's your personal problem. Games like this should be challenging and unpredictable (how can anyone complain about unpredictability??) If you seriously think you should be able to play one way, using one type of hangar... you're the reason why you're losing.

I change hangers and tactics all the time to evolve with the game. That's why I don't have a maxed hanger. When you're bots and weapons are at a high level, it is a long process to just "change your hanger". Now I spend my time leveling all lower bots and weapons so I can diversify my hanger when the meta shifts. No one here is advocating they want to "play the same style" or only a specific hanger.

Then you're obviously not making the right changes to your hangar and you're using the wrong tactics against players who are better than you. Why don't you seek advice from winners to find out what you're doing wrong?

Why don't you seek advice from winners to find out what you're doing wrong? Are you just a miserable person? Or are do you just think your better than everyone else. Care to post your "real" hanger? For the record, I still overcome and adapt. And I also find a way to advance again. All I'm saying is that I would be nice if every update didn't have to start with a matchmaking beat down. That is my only point...

Games like this should be challenging and unpredictable (how can anyone complain about unpredictability??) If you seriously think you should be able to play one way, using one type of hangar... you're the reason why you're losing. I think this can play into it but... I do think matching 9/10 or lower team with a full 12/12 squad is a bit challenging. So yes, it's the play style, hanger, and MM. As far as MM, I think a lot has to do with the player pool at the time of day that you play as you face different skills at different times of the day. Right now you have to think about how many schools and Colleges are getting out and flooding the day with different level players. That being said, everyone needs to adapt. While losing can be frustrating, you have to see it as a challenge and do what you can to overcome it. When the game changes, it's time to figure out what hanger works best for each player and what each player can do with the skills and bots they have. Remember, anyone can use a tool but not everyone is a craftsman. Games, and robots, are the same way.

I don't think I'm better than anyone. And I'm not going to post my hangar since this isn't a hangar thread. And if you're losing a lot, that means people are winning a lot. Everyone isn't experiencing a "matchmaking beat down". There are thousands of happy winners playing right now while you're whining about your losing streak.

If your below diamond league than you probably aren't experiencing what we are referring to. Not whining, just an observation on the implementation of league updates. Fighting a ton of Masters while whatever changes they made eventually even out.

Find a "legal" way to get back into Silver if you don't like the higher leagues. Problem solved!

Actually it does mean that you can't have an opinion on this particular topic because you are ignorant of the subject content. While at the same time stating your uninformed opinion in a rude and disrespectful manner. Knocking other posters skills while you haven't even progressed past silver. Typical... Looking through your previous posts on this site, it seems to be a reoccurring pattern.

Getting relevant information " if you loose in multiplayer game - then somebody else is winning, and that means you are doing something wrong" And putting this information to public in arrogant and provoking manner. Please don't be offended by forum's inhabitants, they are what they are, and don't bite.

I lost 13 battles before I started winning again because my Galahad, the core of my campaign, was weakened significantly.

It wasn't weakened... you just need to adapt to the changes and play it differently. I did by avoiding rocket people. I also got a Trident/Pinata/Tulumbas Golem that kills more people than my Galahad does now. It's sad. Anyways, my Galahad WAS weakened because it got left behind by the update.

I suppose you're right if you're looking at it from a negative POV... the Galahad was brought down a notch from its overpowered state. I'm glad the Gareth is "weak", too. Killed one with my Rogatka today... I used to have a hard time chipping away at their hp... NOT ANYMORE!

Killed one with my Rogatka today... I used to have a hard time chipping away at their hp... NOT ANYMORE! I can still kill rocket guys as long as they have used up their rockets because they either shoot one weak rocket every few seconds or they wait until their rockets are fully loaded, and both strategies prove fatal because it's too late. Still sucks for Britbots though, because it is a big threat and I get less gold
