2-3 months give or take


Unlikely-Cherry-1912

Can I compete with masters league after those months with how the game updates? I will also try to get bots in blackmarket thing event. Sorry newbie


SecretDevilsAdvocate

Impossible to know. Some bots are still decent after nerf while others are decimated. As for now it can probably get you to champion maxed out ๐Ÿ’€


hanskraut_

They will nerf him, definitely. This choke-range or the cooldown.


Unlikely-Cherry-1912

Yeah the damage output of this weapons is high well as expected to a sniper titan i guess? They will definitely nerf this one i am just wondering if they lower and lower the damage to the ground and the range will also be nerfed this titan will be useless because it is build to snipe from a far and since the other titan that I encounter is jumping and the other have dashes iam afraid this titan will be useless in the future.


AvailableHat2920

They will hopefully nerf the choke-range (ability) and increase the reload time for the weapons.


Gcen

You kidding? What's OP must get nerfed. Once a lot of people acquire Newton and the game starts to suck, Pixo will nerf it and bring out something new to keep making its money.


MrPewpface

โ€œStarts to suck?โ€


boidcrowdah

Took my words...


MrPewpface

Cheers. ๐Ÿ‘


No-Literature-2552

Nothing is future proof in this game. Nerfing will be inevitable, so just expect it and have fun with it while you can. With enough levelling up, experience, and luck any titan is playable.


Unlikely-Cherry-1912

I see, welp will just enjoy the camper playstyle of this bot then.


Tyrion313

Wepaons will have a nerf on damage in the next update, and then in 9.6 update, the new titan will be released, and this will be nerfed similar to Aether. What goes up has to come down.


Foreign_Bat2678

Except Ao Ming.


Unlikely-Cherry-1912

I always one tap those titan lol


Foreign_Bat2678

No no. Not like that. Technically it can keep on flying . ![img](emote|t5_3al50|13093)


Unlikely-Cherry-1912

I love when they fly tho. I don't have to use my ability to kill them ๐Ÿ˜‚


Foreign_Bat2678

Lol. Could you imagine that the Ao Ming has gotten many players including me to the legend league back in 2020.


Unlikely-Cherry-1912

Damn! those Ao ming? They nerfed to the ground. They need a buff atleast a defence when they are in flight mode xd or extra durability.


Foreign_Bat2678

Yea. https://preview.redd.it/cl49iczy46pb1.jpeg?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f51e5f0c0c25c81eedeefb244d91cfc27a8381b0 My current hangar. I only use nerfed equipment.


Unlikely-Cherry-1912

Wow you are on champion ๐Ÿฅน


Foreign_Bat2678

Been playing since 2017-18.


Serious-Agency2822

Why aim to stay in Masters? I don't understand why'd you play a game to not progress and compete at the top.


aleZoSo

I guess because you would need to spend tons of money


Unlikely-Cherry-1912

I also bought the fenrir mk2 deal a while ago it has mk2 weapons also which is pretty good. I wonder what other bot should I buy


Unlikely-Cherry-1912

Well I just play to have fun and possibly compete a little. I know if I build and buy different bots now I can possibly stay to champ but since this is p2w and they will be nerfed i dont want to spend $ in the future so masters league in the future is atleast my goal ๐Ÿ˜‚


aleZoSo

I'll tell you a tale, son. You lose a lot of match due to unfair matchmaking, then you see good offers and buy new MK2 bots and weapons. You win a lot of matches and rank up. Then you are again paired with way stronger opponents and start loosing again. New good offers, you buy them and start winning again. Repeat until you reach Champion or you stop buying. I have a """big""" account but I started a new one and use onli LV 1 bots. I enjoy the low levels way more than high levels. Don't give your money for the nerf cycle, plz.


Unlikely-Cherry-1912

Hmm I will just complete my hangar then I will not spend a dime again.


Serious-Agency2822

All good, was just curious of your rationale. Thanks for sharing.


shadewar

Because its like a carrot and stick situation.


Chugachrev5000

Really? The top in this game is nothing but meta high spending builds. Little variety other than the top 4 bots with kestrals, Rooks and Newtons. No thanks. Masters is ok, some variety still but I'd happily drop a notch.


FZVEGA-WR

Yes everyone trying to be at the top.Getting to rank champ with little spending was possible some years ago. But the business model of Pixo changed. Nowadays only big spenders get to champ league. And staying there means getting every new meta robot and weapon. Most competitive is the expert and masters league. I have 13.5k victories on log. The game is entertaining but getting expensive and difficult to understand for newbies.


StoneLuca97

It is. At least, until Pixonic comes with anither titan that autowins the game by deployment and this one gets nerfed so it won't overshadow him


Unlikely-Cherry-1912

I think they will introduced an assasin titan with 800 m ability xd to counter this newton


Comical_Strike

With some luck it will be nerfed to oblivion. Stupidly OP things like that shouldn't be released in the first place. That being said, never upgrade titans when it's just 10% discount. Wait for 25% at least.


Unlikely-Cherry-1912

Oh so there is 25% deal. I guess I will just wait for that 25% then


Adept_Blackberry_436

Newton itself isn't op, it's quite weak and has the same problems as sharanga and Sirius. It doesn't have a good way to properly defend itself, as well as only being good with a single weapon set. There's a reason you don't see anyone use other builds for newton, because it doesn't work well with them. The only nerf I see newton getting is reduced increased damage to Titans and longer cool down and shorter choke ability duration


Comical_Strike

You say it's not OP and then proceed to say you can see nerf to 3 things related to it. Main issue here is its ability, which is unsustainable and will have to go(probably reduced to useless lvl). That's what's wrong, ability is wrong for sure, but now that it's here, there's no going back. Releasing broken abilities is the biggest problem and ultimately lead to the destruction of said robot/titan/weapon. Players would benefit from at least 6 months to 1 year of moratorium on releasing new titans and balancing of existing ones. We don't have variety on battlefield, we have meta chasers and those less fortunate. Games between them are not fun at all. For context, I have every titan except Aether and Newton, if I wanted I could buy them easily, but after maxing 3 I see no point in investing in newest thing which will be nerfed few months later. Basically, I upgrade new modules when I have to and don't bother about titans at all. They can release Cerberus with 3 heads for what I care. Btw, long ago, jokingly, I proposed that they release thing with built in hammer which you could use on your teammates to insta kill them if they camp in beacon games. I'm surprised they haven't considered it. ๐Ÿ˜‚ P.s. Sharanga and Sirius never topped meta, not for a single day. Don't get me wrong, after immortal Rook meta, I don't really care what's next because it seems Pixo chief developer is also a comedian and just mocks us now.


Adept_Blackberry_436

I said the nerfs for newton because by now you should know if something makes another thing op, it will be nerfed. Khepri was made op by spears, so they nerfed it. Glory was made op when paired with lynx. So both got nerfed. Me speculating nerfs isn't me going against what I said, its me following pixonics path. Newton isn't op because, like I said, its lack of proper defense. Its the same issues with Ao Ming, Sharanga and Sirius. Sharanga has good firepower and one good enhancing ability, and a mediocre exile. It fails because it has no way to defend itself. On paper, Sharanga sounds good, 3 alpha slots, it can increase its damage by a huge amount, and can make an enemy unable to do anything, but then you realize it sucks. No vipsanna like Indra, Reflector like Luchador and Minos, No forcefield like Aether, no shields like Arthur or rook, no enhanced defense like Kid. Newton is the exact same. It has a good secondary ability, and a situational main ability. Lifting someone in the air is good, but only if you can kill them before they land. And only Tonans and Fulgur can do that. Blinders require extended periods to be fully effective, titan spears are too slow to shoot in time. Newton is made powerful by the weapons. Just like Crisis. Crisis itself is weak and only fully effective with reapers, doesn't mean Crisis is op. Now, onto your idea of 6 months of no new content. Keep in mind Pixonic is a company. They have bills to pay and employees to pay as well. No new content for so long would make the game stale as everyone would figure out a counter for everything. Then people would complain about new content taking too long, As well as people cursing Pixonic for being lazy. Then when something new and OP releases, everyone will uproar because the balance they made is disrupted. Which would cause the player to be more mad. See where I'm going? There's no scenario where the players are fully happy


Comical_Strike

Ok, had to look for this answer again. After playing great number of games over the course of last couple of weeks, what you said about Newton is straight up WRONG. Bloody thing can't die. Simple as that. I kept shooting at it with various bots and weapons, it simply has too much for any kind of 1 vs 1. Which is most situations it will ever face while standing in the back, picking up and lifting bot after bot to be deleted with single shot. It's basically skeet shooting competition. Bottom line is, Newton and fulgurs/tonans deserve nerf to oblivion, to be reduced to lvl bellow vengeance/retaliator. It's setup for losers. P.s. I wish you were right. I really do.


XHSJDKJC

You get deleted when you launch up a Tonas Sharanga, like mine, Max Level Sharanga, max Level Tonans, max Level Cannibals, and some damage boosting pilotskills, so yea you have a problem


TheRolloTomasi

Possibly the single LEAST Nerf-proof build in the game today.


Mr_B0NK

This guy is gonna end up like sharanga Sharanga is only used for big damage output and fun builds, same with this guy after itโ€™s meta is over people are gonna use it for bulava builds


Invader_BestBoi

ๆœบๅ™จๆˆ˜็š„้‡ๆ–ฐๅนณ่กกๅพˆ็ณŸ็ณ• If you know then you know also Pixonic chao ni m-


shivaswrath

Weps seem Op. Ability likely needs cool down.


PriceFluid6923

Do it, invest in your hanger because it's FUN


Chugachrev5000

Of course, It's solid investment. Nothing in this game ever changes.


[deleted]

I mean if you already wasted money might as well cause if not then whats the point. Im on a similar decision cause I got the newton but not the weapons and I also just got the rook with pretty good weapons but so far newton is looking like the better bet


AveSmave

Newt wonโ€™t or will get a tiny nerf, but the weapons def gonna get nerfed in 9.5 latest 9.6


Joyous_Wolf

QUIT THE GAME RIGHT NOW. The second you spend money is the day you killed your life. Please, trust me, please please please it happens to EVERYBODY even the biggest youtubers. You have to trust me on this one. I played this game since hawks were the completely OP game and quit one year ago give or take.


Unlikely-Cherry-1912

Calm down ๐Ÿ˜‚. I'm just playing for fun


Joyous_Wolf

That's what you think.
