i hear a lot of frustration.. :)

if they allowed to play custom game for hangar showdown i would pick the crappiest mechs against you to see if your words can stand the truth, but we cant do it. 

All i have to back myself up is my memories of Hangar Showdown when i did not have a single legendary mech, i could still win 5 times a day. with Aegis, Guardian, Zypher, Killshot and Orion. And thats when it was limited to 5 games per day, most of the time i could collect my 1500 points. Sometimes adding 10 acoins, sometimes i would fail anyway. 

I not sure if you know but people still use Killshots and Guardians, where most popular choices are Orion and Lancer (while those same people have access to meta they dont pick it, and i still have Aegis in my hangar and im not sure if i ever will want to swap it to anything i just like it and it often does the job better than anything else). 

Its not flawless but i enjoy it more than any other mode right now matchmaking is better than anywhere else so maybe they should keep HS and delete normal mode and tournaments instead.

Pay to play is the biggest nonesense i heard about when people describe Plarium. I think if you not good at shooters then you could play Minecraft instead, because people who moan here about pay 2 win, i think, unfortunately just  not shooter competitive.. And so I just cant comprehand your issues because i dont have them and i dont want to offend anyone but the issue is bringing your issues to my level and i just dont understand them because in my brain the mechanics dont exist. So i just treat your post as a personal attack that is trying to take my steady income of mods from me :)

So instead of continuing to fight you back i will give you one advise that started to work for me in last couple weeks after i found it. My bots in hangar showdown usually appear after 40 seconds countdown. So i click cancel after 25-35 seconds and start new hangar showdown, so it never goes past 40 seconds. These way i never have bots unless i was distracted or fell asleep to miss 40 seconds line.

Good luck.

I hate that one its not worth playing and 90% of the time you face whales and loose horribly

i think that applies to all games you play :)

Not as bad as this game between sp drop hanger cheater whales and unkillable bots, i can't get my daily's done most of the time 

If only you could be my teammate every match

People in my league pick 32 energy paragon and 24 energy slingshot thinking they're doing something

Also killshots are losers so are lancers. Just because it's popular doesn't make it good. Some builds are popular in hangar showdown because they're popular in the general game and people think they can use the same stuff in hangar showdown they use everywhere else.

I'm not at the level where I even can enter league 2, but I imagine you'd certainly be entertaining more a-coins for the extra matches if the last 5 still costed any to get those 1500 points. Luckily you don't even need to win 5 matches to get 1500 points in league 2 anymore though.

I may be exaggerating how hard it is to win without META but that still doesn't make it easy. And I'm one of few who didn't get citadel from the crate rush cause I hardly play this game cause how mad it makes me

I don't know why I'd get mad at you for saying I don't have the chops for this when you're likely hardly any better than I am at the game. I could 1500 points per day most days if I were in league 2. Maybe not on bad days. But those bad days would still be frustrating, especially if I got multiple in a row.

I don't know what you're talking about "best matchmaking" of any game mode either. How when it's not even based on any relevant metric?

Tournament matchmaking btw is fine I think they just need to stop dropping players every seaso, but we'll see

You can face SP cheaters in regular gameplay but that's also true of hangar showdown

Hangar Showdown IMO is much better than most of the other game modes available. Once you reach League 2 or League 1, the problems you mention above will mostly not occur. Try to get more legendary mechs and weapons from ECRs. Most importantly, the weapons you choose should be a little spammy (or should deal a ton of damage quickly), and the mechs you use should be mostly Legendary because it has unique abilities and generally more powerful than other rarities. Revokers, Continuums, and Tank mechs should be used to guarantee victories. Avoid using common/uncommon mechs as it will be easy kill for opponent.

Meta or Nonmeta, victory is needed and proper strategy gives victories.

Control point clash is the problem when there is no tournaments its impossible to get dailys done while playing, bec of the bots who are unbeatable and the sp drop hanger whales who abuse the people who play f2p. But hanger showdown i have tried time and time again and i always loose

Plus control point clash needs new maps
