First two are valid criticisms. I personally liked the league system, but I understand that it was not for everyone. Last one is rather subjective.

Well, you covered 4 of 6 ...

I consider the deserter feature and progress resets with each season as part of the league system. These are fairly standard features in other games with competitive ranking systems.

I know they say this causes unecassary arguments and all that crap, but they should allow discussion about religion and politics. What are they know Communism? banning free speech? I dont know about u but i actully like to argue my point (cause im always right) 

There could be a seperate section for that, but:

1. It is risky for Alternativa to allow this because someone could try to sue them for 'hate speech' on their site etc. They would then be forced to remove posts deviate from what is considered 'politically correct' which in turn would make actual discussion impossible.
2. There are other forums specially meant for this.

I hate Twins almost as much as Gauss.

Saboteur is almost as OP as Defender.

I don't like Ultra Skins.

I despise Yorkshire TJR.

Making all of the skins M3 is not a big deal at all.

Madness is a bad map.

XP/BP is fun but extremely overhyped.

Not gonna lie....before the Heat Immunity was added and Vulcan became what it was nowadays, Twins was the OG annoying infinite-ammo turret 


Of course, I wasn't around in 2019, so I don't know if the developers did something to Twins to make it less annoying. :|

Normal opinions, and maybe many agree with you. Madness is for fun. XP/BP exaggerated in the game true, but have a huge backlash in the forums. uniformal M3 skins (I think everyone agree with you it's horrible bad). Saboteur is annoying but not as Defender.

Incredibly unpopular opinions for sure. About Twins, At_shin answered you (though he exaggerated in his reaction).

But about Ultra Skins, Nope.

 

I think they looks awesome

they had nerfed it's projectile speed by large margins. It's harder to use the turret than say, before 2018.

Ahhhh okay. Thanks for the update! No wonder why my friend complained to me a week ago. It was his first time using Twins in 2 years lol.

Saboteur is better than Defender. Why? Because I have 10,000 mines sitting around doing nothing. Whereas, I have only 7000 double armors which would be equal to like....2,500 if I had Defender equipped. And I don't care about saving mines XD

They're "good", but I would rather get an XT skin. Why? Because Ultra, Prime, and Legacy skins look like normal skins when viewed from afar. Meanwhile, the gold on the XT skins stand out far better. Plus I like the XT designs much more than the rest. The designers evidently put effort into making the design of every XT skin (with the exception of Gauss, Magnum, Ares, Hopper, and Crusader XT - those look like they just recolored the model with gold to be honest).

There's a reason why I never make Pro Battles with the Madness map in mind XD. And what you said.....was the reason.

Way too overhyped. Its sad that most major eSports events revolve around either xp/bp, or the use of Railgun. It shows ya that eSports players technically aren't the best players overall in the game - they just know how to use Railgun.

XP/BP is overrated and is even quite boring nowadays (especially because the developers didn't give this mode any attention for years).

Seriously? How could you hate my twins! *cries in a corner*   

That's a seriously very unpopular opinion. I mean i understand why we hate Gauss but twins!?!  

Out of all of the turrets, I'd say that Twins is definitely the turret that requires the least amount of finesse ^{(for the record, Gauss (especially with Electromagnetic Salvo) and Magnum (especially with Harpoon) round out the top 3)}. With Twins, all you need to do to succeed is point and shoot. You can sit in the safety of Titan or Mammoth's high HP and shoot at people no matter the distance using Plasma Accelerators. As someone who uses Shaft/Hornet as one of my main combos, it really annoys me how Twins' impact force is so ridiculously high. I can play aggressively and use tactics that require paying attention and quick reflexes, but I can't do anything to a dim-witted Twins user who doesn't even turn their turret because I get thrown around like a ragdoll.

Twins players in general have a very low sense of awareness and general motivation to be considerate. It's always the Twins players on my team who shoot at literally nothing or even worse, at me. Yesterday I was in a Rio ASL battle (attacking team) while using Firebird/Hunter. I picked up one of the flags and this Twins/Viking loser creeps up underneath me. I was trying to get off, but I was being carried away like I didn't exist.

Twins is the founder of the Academy of Auditory Annoyances. (Vulcan and Autocannon are two graduates.)

Twins on Viking is one of the Overdrive combos that makes my blood boil. The fact that it can melt through a Juggernaut is pure madness.

Yeah, premium account comes with a free brick for your twins.

Seriously, it's for players who don't really want to pay too much attention.  You know - for multitaskers - like those doing some  ironing AND playing tanki...

Well, lately the game sux.

I keep getting mults on my team.  Legends going into TDM with no protection modules... or a GS = 4000

Or placed on Archipalego.   Seriously - that's the worst map ever.  Not sure who to slap harder - the one who designed it.  Or the one who approved it.

They are usually dragging my team down and we lose badly.  They die a lot more quickly in TDM without protection - especially on smaller maps like Red Alert.

Unpopular Opinion - Twins Does Indeed Require a presence of mind and some skills to make the  projectiles collide with the enemy tanks and avoiding being inflicted by the splash damage yourself.

When the enemy is turning you need to keep their path in mind and shoot your projectiles so they don't miss their target. I don't know how that doesn't require skills....

You describe Ricochet precisely

Opss, I remember this was my opinion about twins players in the past, while for newbie ranks Twins+Titan M0 was very popular, in Polygon DM. Lol, when you enter those maps you will see a punch of Twins-Titan players, I couldn't hide for you, that I was one of them.

After that I switched to Railgun, oh, I convert to see Twins players are noobs, and I see myself in every battle the king. As they just using rapid turret without skills, also I was see Railgun is UP.  but wait wait, don't accuse me, this was before even XP/BP exist, and before the annoying rail players. Also in that time I think I switched to Railgun but still playing with Titan, and in Polygon DM

Btw, I think twins now isn't that popular, I don't feel any annoyed from them.

Twins and ricochet are similar kinds of turrets after all...
however, twins has an even slower projectile speed than ricochet, and the two barrels are to the side of the turret. This does make it harder to aim at enemies moving side-ways from you but atlest it has infinite ammo to compensate, which rico does not.
So, i guess both turrets require nearly equal skill to aim at enemies moving sideways.

Tbh, you true.

But I think Graywolf, describe especially the noobs Twins players, that didn't even know why they play, without turning the turret, and as what he describe (they shooting him even if they were his teammates).

But as you a pro player, for sure these flaws will hurt you in playing. But don't convince me that the noobs whose describe them Graywolf (shooting him while they're in the same team) would care about your notices.

tbh, I played Ricochet for a long time and I didn't noticed the problem I talked about repeated. Maybe it took a buff. And for sure the lack of Twins players nowadays, describe the UP the twins has. I talk about Stock Twins.

I think you didn't notice the problem because of Plasma Torch.

Also, as Shin mentioned, Twins was the go-to turret for not-so-skilled to noob players, because there was a time when it didn't inflict self-damage, and the speed of the plasma balls was more. Now, however, it has problems like the self-damage and slow speed of plasma balls. You'll find noobs using it only because of nearly zero reload time.

Lol, but I play Ricochet with both Stock and Plasma Torch. when I play with Viking I prefer to use Stock, as it's very compatible with its OD. but when I play with Hornet I play with Plasma Torch. btw, with Plasma Torch I noticed that more than the Stock.. but maybe I just get accustomed with it, so I didn't notice it anymore.

Oh, I disagree to consider Twins as a turret for noobs, every turret has its positives and negatives.. those disadvantages for Twins hurt the turret. If I saw a Twins player in the Top-3 for sure I will consider him as a pro, regardless if the twins was for noobs or pros. Plasma Torch, and other turrets Augments, are for noobs. so it's a injustice to consider Twins players alone just as noobs.

Btw, I know you didn't mean all Twins players and for for for sure you didn't mean At_Shin. But I mean Twins isn't even my protoype for noobs. My prototype and imaginations when I imagine a noob, I immediately think for Thunder-Viking a straight without turning the turret.

But 100% was my prototype for noobs, Titan-Twins M0. but everything has changed now. Lol, I was one of them, but after I ranked some ranks I convert to see them noobs thinking myself as the hottest pro

Ricco's ammo management far outweighs twins slower projectile.

Many twins players literally just hold down the space-bar the entire battle.  As soon as they spawn it's tweep-tweep-tweep-tweep-tweep...  They spam the battle-field with plasma making the slower projectiles less of a handicap.

I've had players on my own team pinging me with that ridiculous impact cause they are too lazy to take thumb off the space-bar.

IMO ricco requires a LOT more skill to use than twins does.
