Are Individual Players Too Strong?

[HappyFace 63]

In the Team-Oriented modes, do you think that an individual player is too strong, and dominates the outcome of the match single-handedly? I see it all the time -- one guy will have over 7000 GS, meaning that he's using M7 equipment or higher, and dominates the game. At my rank, you can't buy M7 items from the Garage. A tank with M6-10 equipment without Modules is approx. 6000 GS. It's so high because they've bought their equipment from the Shop. Now I know that people're always saying, "Tanki is PTW". Yes, in the aspect of their Tank, they're buying stronger equipment, but in terms of their skill, they can't buy it. I see lots of players with high GS without turning their Turrets, and I see a lot more players with high GS that do turn their Turrets -- And those players wreck the opposition. Not only do they have high tank modifications, but they've got at least 1 high protective Module (since you get one with any Shop kit), and Drones. Have you played against people using Booster? It's not fun; you get destroyed. What's your opinion on the strength of an individual tanker with above-average equipment? Average equipment?

They may not have bought from the Shop - this can be accounted for by the conversion from m6.10 to mk7.0 allowing them to upgrade further.

Plus... as a Major General it is not uncommon for you to play against Commanders, Gismos and even Legends.  In this case it's the MM rank-spreads that are the issue.

My second account now at General runs up against players using upgraded Defender drone.  Good luck trying to destroy those tanks.

to get other people's opinions?

[alkyng 3,080]

what did you want from they to answer you?

yes we all know Tanki is a superior Pay to Win game 

when they say everyone can reach everything in the game without buying No no no It isn't because I'm at colonel and want Mk7 kits at my rank but Nope I can't even if I have a millions of crystals

this is an old problem since the first times of tanki, what ever you have skills Doesn't matter if you face a noob with high GS you can't fight him, but if we are in the same GS maybe even my skills of playing since 2013 more than him, but he surely see him self a very skillful player and his paying doesn't the only thing why he is strong

these players we meet with him in every game especially thunders vikingers and I talk about it yesterday with a questionary title

when you Thunders will rotate it!

There is no denying that Tanki has many aspects concerning paying real currencies, but I wouldn't say Tanki is a superior P2W game. Many games offer in-game currencies for real money, this is not something new what makes TO stand out. Plus, as TO player, you can still play the game fairly well and achieve accomplishments without investing money

I totally disagree with you and I'm not here to compare tanki with other games because they said before the feature in tanki that every player will reach at the same strong as buyer by time, but in real that's not, why, simply because you have to upgrade your turret and tank and buy alteration and buy drones and protections and you have to upgrade them with micro, and that's not enough to tanki they add alteration in tanks with tankoins in other mean (real money), when a lot of players in my ranks haven't yet M2 equipments when buyers reach M3 and surely M4 by micro, I've playing tanki 8 years and I'm skillful but I can't fight buyers who can't even rotate their turret because they are overpower, surely I will not buy drones because it will consume a lot of my druggers, btw in every game I got a good position and maybe most of them in top 3 and a lot of games I have a perfect kills/deaths ration, but I know I don't deserve this my playing skills deserve better than this and I see a lot of noobs non buyers get rekt and destroyed every time and they have a weak equipments, in fact most buyers will be like those players if they didn't buy

Unfortunately, you will have to put up with players with superior equipment. My suggestion is to leave the match early if you see enemies with much better GS. I am sure you won't complain much if you're on the stronger side. Occasionally, you will be put into those stronger teams so be patient. You can have all kinds of amazing skills but have little chance of coming out on top against better equipped opposition. Always play for DL ratio when you know your team will lose badly if you decide to stay in the battle. Also, keep in mind that as you rank up, you will go against players with great GS and great skills. And, the final straw would be great players with great GS and play in a team. Good luck.

At lower levels GS doesn't really mean much.

Some individuals are becoming more and more stronger as new updates are implemented (Drones, augments).

At the lower levels I can, but against Legends who buy more than me they won't fall for it. I moved on to TDM so I don't have to think as much.

[Viking4s 10,791]

Low ranks is bliss (GS over 7000) - a few more crystals and I rank up +14 k crystals

Lucky me got 3 days of premium at the right time

Got some extra crystals in the form of 84 GB, but will not convert those.

I see a lot of noobs everyday in tanki buyers or not buyers, fortunately, most buyers I see in every game are noobs and they kill me every time but not as that strong, but the problem is when you face a skills buyer mostly they control all the game easily and kill everyone and I didn't get angry when professional buyer kills me like when noob buyer kill me because professional buyer at least have skills and strong in play and most time talk in a chat not as a lot of noob buyers seems like robots when he only walks forward-backward and only shots with Space, and don't even turn his turret and didn't answer in the chat

...

What's your opinion on the strength of an individual tanker with above-average equipment? Average equipment?

Above average equipment definitely helps. Teaming up players who complement your style/weapon helps more. And then there are those average players who just read the game, pick out the guy in the enemy team who is the "play-maker" & keep distracting/targeting him.

Tanki has done quite a bit to encourage players to help each other out (support drones, gold box supplies, groups etc). These helped increase the power gap too.

I don't understand this poll. Clarify? What do you consider average and above when I am a Legend 2. My highest GS is only 9300 sadly
