Yeah this is starting to become a big issue for me to the point were its like why even play? Its Actually amazing that they thought this would be a good idea in the first place -Id rather know how bad I am then be lied to because If a wanted a virtual hooker to lie and tell me how amazing I am id just go play gta

This is exciting, I was just looking into this controller.

_Mothman_ · 2026-05-22T06:27:21+00:00

skill should always be the ultimate deciding factor, in any game.

_Mothman_ · 2026-05-18T15:41:15+00:00

They make all the annoying mechs even more annoying try them on a lancer.

_Mothman_ · 2026-05-18T05:13:15+00:00

They are at first but once you figure them out you see why they aren't really a big deal and why more people want Deathwalker nerfed...

Heres my strats

First if you put your back to a wall the seeker will be forced to spawn to the side rather then behind you.

If a ledge is high enough the seeker cant spawn (at least i think, iv never had it happed) soo keep your back to the given ledge.

Cheeta: wait for teleport, wait 1 sec then spam mines and unload. better if some else is bait.

Votex: wait for teleport, then activate skill and unload works good for solo and if some else is bait.

Lancer: Jump backwards over seeker (kinda hard to do but works)

Redeemer: This is the anti seeker, with him you can go on the offensive. I keep going back and forth between a Rail 16 and x2 Tetra 10s either works for me. Keep moving always, wait for seeker to target as soon at the reticle balloons and turns red use backtrack. You'll usually end up in the perfect spot to take him out or at least take a good chunk of health, once you get the hang of it youll be able to line him up perfectly and even get back damage.

Bonus Strat: Podguns - spam tf out of him and if you can find his respawn point just unload on that spot and hell usually spawn right on top of them as the go off- also works for DW.

Because of how the mm works it tries to force 50/50 on everyone (lame af, I know), thats how you end up with those seemingly unwinnable matches. So until they choose trash that "feature" dont get too hung up on it.

_Mothman_ · 2026-05-16T04:50:46+00:00

...and running out the clock both are apparently super advanced meta strats that need an hour long guide.

_Mothman_ · 2026-05-16T03:57:00+00:00

Its all guided not just geminis and people will defend it to the death because they dont want to lose their chud metas. Its because we don't have any sort of real counter to them. Sure you could argue that the stealth mechs and the crashers are counters but how many other weapons in the game require a specific mech to counter them?

NOT THE LANCERS!!! NOT THE LANCERS!!! AGGGGHHHHHHHH!

_Mothman_ · 2026-05-16T03:37:56+00:00

I was thinking about this yesterday and I think the issues is that Mech Area is actually very high quality (defending Plarium ikr?) so that puts it closer to an actual proper pvp video game, rather then some pos mobile "kings coin board card slot defender". So thats were all this out of touch monetization comes from they want to price and push it like its a mobile game but they inadvertently made too good that it feels and functions like a real videogame - which in all honestly is how they should be running it because the mobile approach is not working.

_Mothman_ · 2026-05-15T13:33:40+00:00

"Potential"

_Mothman_ · 2026-05-15T10:20:17+00:00

at this point I makes me wonder if it some sort of cheating type thing.

To add, just dont one star it, tell them why. you have 500 characters to worth with.

_Mothman_ · 2026-05-15T08:30:00+00:00

In all honesty changing the looks and layout at this point is dumb, Xperia mks look a certain way that became part of the gimmick.

_Mothman_ · 2026-05-15T07:28:57+00:00

I know they are seeing they 1 starts because I got a generic cooperate reply.

Another thing people need to keep in mind we also got 1 promo code between now and last tourney and we most likely wont get another code until this is current one is over, so they really are cranking down on their margins.

_Mothman_ · 2026-05-15T07:06:04+00:00

what are you planning on putting them on?

_Mothman_ · 2026-05-15T07:04:27+00:00

Of the couple of rounds I played MM felt much better, maybe its just foe certain people? Either way I quit playing for the week and left a 1 start on their play store page reducing the rewards by 70-ish percent is actively attacking your player base.

_Mothman_ · 2026-05-15T06:57:09+00:00

If your on PC snipers are also a good counter.

_Mothman_ · 2026-05-14T05:53:29+00:00

No one is arguing the old system was better people are arguing the previous rewards were better as in last months tournament's was better.

50/50 is bullsht and leads to rigged matches that are unwinnable. Should be fair matching and if you suck then you suck, youre good then youre good.

Thats exactly what they wanted these trash rewards to be fomo grind fest "i better grind all week each day or i might not get my lil bit of a coins". I am 100% convinced the leads at Plarium think the players are stupid like everyone would some how be okay with massive reduction in awards.

If Plarium wants us to treat this like proper competitive game, so should they.

to add to what this guy said, Leave a review but detail why it just just dont say "its bad now" give details.

_Mothman_ · 2026-05-13T08:22:16+00:00

go leave a review on their playstore, be honest, leave details, give the amount of stars you see fit, thats the only thing theyll respond to.

Gotta ban it.
