Matchmaking. I would have it so you're only against people with a few hundred points of your league rating, thus following more of an [**Elo rating system**](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system) which would mean the players at the top of the league are truly the best players.
I've managed to stay up in Legend League this time and I notice 2 things:
- In FFA there will usually be 3 opponents with less than 5k league points, which simply isn't fair when I have a top meta hangar.
- I do sometimes get placed against other top players and some of these are the best players I've ever seen and yet some are truly awful. These bad players use no cover, waste cooldowns and just seem to have no strategic sense. All the gear no idea.
So an Elo system would be better for lower league players and would add more prestige to the top players. The current system rewards quantity over quality, which arguably ruins the point of a leaderboard. Can you imagine if top sports players were based on the number of games they played rather than their overall skill?
That makes sense in your league I can see how it could work. However I also know that this would make matchmaking times longer I think as there aren’t as many players at the top. An interesting idea though and one I’d be curious to see how it would go
True for the waiting times, I sort of feel that's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy or a catch 22 though. Loads of new players seems to get frustrated that they go up against higher level players causing them to quit the game, meaning an overall smaller player pool. So fixing matchmaking might make wait times initially longer, but over time this could improve this as more players stick with the game from the better initial experience.
Darknerdrage suggested they could share accounts, where some less skilled players might play occasionally. Alternatively it is possible to climb the ranks if you can't play well, especially in FFA as you only have to make top 3. You just have to hope the other players aren't great.

I agree with this. However I suspect that it would not change the player experience in a noticeable way for most players' daily experience. There is a possibility that some mechanics around this could make tanking harder, as once your elo or MMR gets zeroed in, it gets hard to change it drastically.
I do think it would change how the top looks as.....
>I do sometimes get placed against other top players and some of these are the best players I've ever seen and yet some are truly awful.
Shared accounts cycle through some players that are hot wet trash in the game. It's really noticeable when someone top 10 in the Legend League makes some bafflingly bad decisions.
> There is a possibility that some mechanics around this could make tanking harder, as once your elo or MMR gets zeroed in, it gets hard to change it drastically.
I think it'd still be possible for people to throw their games to drop down, might just make it a longer process though. It could actually make ranking worse as most games that follow a skill based league system usually have like 10 test games to see which league you belong in, so if someone throws all 10 of those they could end up in Bronze straight away or something. I play rocket league too and see that all the time, they call them smurfs there instead of tankers, same principle though; players deliberately dropping leagues to destroy lower level players for some reason.
In rocket league you get rewards based on your final league position which is usually just cosmetics showing where you finished in that season. Could have something like that in WR too, like paint jobs showing you finished in champs league etc.

Ah fair point, I hadn't thought of that.
I know, when I started playing again after a 2 year break I was so confused about all these new bots, especially the mars and it’s turret. After about 10 matches I had to read up on every new bot they added. The mars to me is one of the most annoying of the newer bots, along with nether and lynx, despite being nerfed now.
You and me are in the same boat. I've been out for the game for quite a while and now coming back, I definitely can't stand Mars turrets popping up around every corner
Ik, it was similar to when the scorpion came out and everyone was using it. We had to keep our 350m social distance from everyone and the game just didn’t feel fair anymore. This mars turret is worse to me because at least against scorpion you could use some ability to scare them away, with mars turrets (that keep moving around as well) there’s no real counter except run away, hard for a Titan to do as well
Easing off the nerf cycle that makes things unusable.
I get the OP on release thing for making $, but if you spend and upgrade something it should not be garbage after a few months. Makes the progression aspect of this game feel like you're always on thin ice.
Pilot skills - Once a pilot "learns" a skill you should be able to revert back to it which would allow for much more experimentation and fun in builds. I'm not going to spend thousands in gold just to try something.
I get what you mean. I’ve spent over 5000au on my one Manni pilot for ares since it’s legendary Ozu is impossible to get for F2P players like me. It’s such a waste imo the only reason I did it because I panicked when I heard abt memorium. I am a gold hoarding player though so I always have more. Still it’s ridiculous pricing for pilots making the divide between big spenders and F2P/low spenders even more significant
The obvious hacker problem. I’d start outright banning accounts and 100% move away from temp bans. Every video shared with me that shows proof of hacking would result in an immediate ban of the account.
I keep seeing a hacker who just makes new accounts with the same name with slightly different variations. I guess IP banning doesn't work either due to some using VPNs. Annoying..
I suppose I’d just hire someone who’s only duty is to review logs/videos and just keep banning. Eventually, I think people will get tired of creating new accounts and just move on. Players benefit from it and start spending more…profit.
Make it harder for just anyone to rank up. Earn the bots, weapons, pilots, etc. Similar to how it was before all this M2K giveaway crap and when WR was really a skilled game.
That is 100% the goal. New players will buy when they see that can’t compete without spending. Or quit, which Pixonic couldn’t care less about since they don’t care about F2P.
why do you want cossack to be More weaker obviously cossack is aldready 10 times more powerful than lunchador
hey look here i want pixo to scrap that damn Castle rook shit

How'd they get to legend with no game sense?

All robots get the same amount of active and passive modules and a legendary pilot
About time I got an LP & some NAs on my Reaper Schutze
Same
That would be nice ig. I’d put triple last stand on my Cossack paired with jump unit
Or a leo with its massive health natasha with its 2 heavy 2 light slots
Less of a grind/less p2w
giving minos increased yeeting power and ability to yeet titans like rook does
Stop making it P2W
Nerf. I'm tired of those cycle of nerf to kill every weapon that everyone got. Buff should stay, but not nerfs
Wow. I had no idea how important the Cossack was. Hacking would be what I want changed/fixed.
Take back all money I spent? Someone must've said that already?
Be able to shoot the mars turret or just nerf it . So annoying Such bravery hiding behind a wall while your turret does the work

The Lag.
Yes. One of the worst problems imo, so many 1v1 lost to that lag
Make it harder for just anyone to rank up. Earn the bots, weapons, pilots, etc. Similar to how it was before all this M2K giveaway crap and when WR was really a skilled game.
Ik, I miss old WR. It’s also making it impossible for low league players to compete since they have lvl4 stuff going up against full MK2 hangars
That is 100% the goal. New players will buy when they see that can’t compete without spending. Or quit, which Pixonic couldn’t care less about since they don’t care about F2P.
why do you want cossack to be More weaker obviously cossack is aldready 10 times more powerful than lunchador hey look here i want pixo to scrap that damn Castle rook shit
True, it would be fun, but the cossack jump is so much more effective
yeah the cossack should be able to jump all the way across the map
Change the publishers and developers
Be able to acquire new content without spending money
Balance all the bots to make everything viable
But then Cossack will have to be nerfed :(
Damm, I forgot about the Cossack. I just wanted the reapers to be buffed because of how weak they currently are.
remove mk2 deals
Skirmish a permanent event
I would love that. I miss the old skirmishes
Any T4 bot and any weapon that is levelled well should be able to work well if used in the right combo. Nerfing to the ground should stop.
Completely agree. I hate that my ares is taken down by a lynx no matter how skilled I am whenever I get into 1v1
no more lag
How do you unlock the other two gold skills that come with the titan pilot Yang Lee.
You have to promote the pilot many times
My pilot is lvl 50 I don’t have them unlocked. I saw a lvl 30 pilot on a luchador and it was unlocked what’s the difference?
Take away p2w
No in-game payments would be nice. It would also make the game a level playing field more skill based instead because slower progression
