This can be abused so easily. Only things that have no impact on the game should be traded... like paints and skins.

And striker continues to act as the red-headed step-child of the family...

Yup - I try to get mid-point or closer and throw up the dome out of hunter range. Of course cant do much when a hornet starts wailing on you... to slow to dodge and cant move the dome...

It happens plenty. Once they are in your base, you might as well leave - because half your team will. It's ridiculous.

Siege? And how many of the cap-points can they actually see from that corner? And why 2 Dictators? They arent killing through any Titan domes. Bet they just kept boosting that hornet (the only one of the 3 that gets an OD boost). Used to like Magistral - but - that corner is one reason I like it less. The noob campers - even in CP mode - just hang out there.

This experiment is just dumb. Hardly any players below Legend actually playing now. MM keeps putting my Marshall account into Legend games, or into battles that are 3-0 and defenders being spawn-killed. And last battle (which I quickly exited) was Marshals and F. Marshals against a bunch of Legends. Hugely unbalanced. And ANOTHER. Not even worth trying to play right now. It's just ridiculous.

Challenges are ruining Tanki. Selfish players leave battles - even on teams that are winning - because they may not get 2+ stars. Huge reason why battles end 8 vs 6 or 8 vs 5. Challenges were designed for the no-lifers that complained they were not rewarded enough for spending their entire life in a computer game. These people need to grow up.

Adobe is the parent company of FLASH - they own it. They also no longer support it. TO can't offer a game on a platform that no longer has support from the creator company (Adobe). That is why TO is switching to HTML. Blame it on Adobe.

Viking does better than you might think. Certainly not as good as Hornet. But Viking can often get 3 ODs per battle. If used properly those 3 ODs can get anywhere from 3-12 kills. Viking hammer on smaller maps like sandbox, or with hiding places like Silence (CP) where you can ambush a group of tanks = quick kills. And if you have a Dictator on your team it can do very well.

MatchMaker on it's own has enough issues. Challenges doubles down on that. I rant at players on my team from time to time. The ones sitting there all game doing nothing. Or the Legends entering the battle with a GS < 5000. No excuse for that - they are basically mults at that point. And more crap battles today where at the start it's 8 vs 5. 3 tanks not loaded to battle 2 minutes in. MatchMaker is absolute crap.

I know. Play Pro-battle (xp/bp) for fun. Play MM for crystals. Like the rest of us. And how do you not understand TO has nothing to do with Flash going away. That's Adobe. Go write to them.

Scout needs an impact nerf. Not to the extent of autocannon (-66%) - but it should not be doing 2x Thunder impact when it fires almost as quickly.

You can't have 2 separate MM streams - defeats the purpose of MM. If Xp/BP players want crystals they need to play in MM. If they don't care about crystals they can play pro-battles.

Your protections are fine. The extra 2-3 % wont make that much of a difference. Especially fire (which no longer reduces afterburn). Plus... Hornet OD renders them moot.

So what are you giving up in return? And... there's lots of DPS turrets... but not sure this would be applicable to all. Isida already has the highest DPS and Vulcan can theoretically fire forever.

Well, they did mention crayons ... or something like that.

How would you do this? MM needs more players for the general population - in all modes and all maps WITH supplies and drones and OverDrives. If you have a separate category in MM for xp/bp then it defeats the entire purpose of MM. Two streams of players for MM does not help existing battles player-base. There might actually be less players in total for the non-xp/bp base as some switch over. Do not see how this can possibly work. You'd have to explain in much greater detail.

That's what I'm doing mostly for my mid account - play to do some missions if there is synergy. But this account is playing a lot of pro-battles for fun and - exp is actually a good thing - slowly gets to new rank for another 40k. (they should bump that by 2k to 5k) each subsequent rank-up.

In a duel maybe. But in 8 vs 8 the trade-off of damage (especially at long range where crit is still 100%) for some extra impact just does not seem worth it. The impact buff needs more buff. Yeah - too often I just don't see enough difference. With the significant increase in fire resistance/immunity I might have to switch from incendiary to autocannon.

I'm pessimistic because the Devs have not shown they are capable of fixing MM or balancing ODs. Heck - they aren't even trying. Wrong - If you play Pro-battles you get more exp than crystals. So the best way to avoid the dumb exp boost if you are < Legend is to not play at all.

The Good Years...

Legends don't care. You get experience in Pro-battles but battle fund is cheaper. Same issue for < Legend. And you left out the 3rd option - which MANY are doing - park the account for the duration.

Ummm..... ? No.

Might be. Stock isida does 250 "per tick"? No trade off listed then...

English please. And explain more - I have no idea what your numbers represent.
