The Anti-Tinker Movement Thread

[Kenny]

well, nice that you write so much..but... Tinker is only "imba" if the Player who use it is "imba" (like me lol).. same with the other Tanks

but most "Tinker" Player dont know how to act after the "middle game" has startet.. (after 15 to 20 min.), when the first bigger Tank is choosen by an enemy you must know how to go on against this with a Tinker..

... so plz.. this is, i dont know. 3 Post of someone who thinks this or that is imba.. how often you play 5 times a week ? well not enough to undestand i think, how to use this or that Tank, which deppends on the situation in the game.

Far, far more than five times a week. Unless those five games were all 1.5+ hours long where I'd feel I'd need a break. I have a great understanding of the game, which may or may not be related to my tendency to smash entire teams. If you actually read my post I'm sure you would have noticed already.

Fact of the matter is, the free tank you start out with is overall more potent than any of the other potential starting tanks (Besides perhaps Helicopter). A free tank, that's what I consider to be the problem. Make the current Tinker at least a 700 gold purchase and put some useless tank in its place.

I am probably one of those "imba" players you speak of. You can bring your Heavy Tank to the fray after farming up massive g's from a free Tinker, I'm still highly likely to smash it with a Helicopter regardless. I perceive the problem to be, FREE TANK > 2,200 Gold Tank.

So, just "learn" the different Strategies...cause i change very often from Tinker to HeavyT..and i got no Problems before or after changing to this with the enemy Tinkers, because most people dont know what to do then.. ^^

so this not imba,thats just "oh know he did something i didnt expect"..

so get a better "overview" what happens in the actually game or what the enemy might buy or do the next 10 mins.

Aside from the rare times I actually don't know an enemy tank is headed my way (Just about never when it comes to neutral factories) nothing in this game surprises me anymore. From the four-Tinker teams (Gee you would think that were indication enough there is a problem here) to the mass Troop Command/Factory/Upgrade teams, to playing psychological warfare by saying "I HAVE A BOMB!", unless the rest of my team sucks like mad I will most likely mop the floor with them.

Dont'play the game, make it

My enemy team smashed, courtesy of me, 80%+ of the time. I am by no means complaining because I might actually get a fluke loss from time to time, I am complaining because this is what I would consider imbalance. I'm probably one of the best players there are, but you know what? That doesn't mean the Tinker is or isn't imbalanced, that's my stance. A free tank being stronger than any of the 2,200- gold tanks as indicated from my own usage and from the usage of my enemies. That alone cries imbalance in my perspective.

When was the last time you actually got some use out of the Antigrav or Demolisher? Outside of blowing up the occassional poor guy to walk across a Demolisher minefield or something. Yes, a Heavy Tank or Guardian will very likely smash up the Tinker's beloved towers left unchecked. Those aren't 2,200- gold tanks though, those are 4,500+ gold tanks. If some guy actually rushes a Heavy Tank or Guardian with like one weapon, I know from experience he is going to be in more and more terrible shape as the game goes on. Due to influence FROM A FREE TANK no less.
