#Stop breaking my bots!

I heard rumors about the next upcoming down grad on good bots. Leo, OO and others. I'm disappointed in this direction and not excited about what I reviewed. One of my questions is, why are good bots getting nerfed instead of making bad bots better? I believe that all 5* bots should be war worthy. Not this "let's see if this bot is enough" thing. If these nerfs break my war team, I'm seriously considering retiring from this game. I worked so hard to build up my team. I'm very proud of it. I have other four letter words associated with nerf. So, stop breaking my war team and make other bots better. Just STOP!!!!

I will say, that the sheet that got leaked wasn’t even remotely close to the final version.

I’d wait until we ourselves pass the information on the balance changes before coming to a conclusion.

Im planning on waiting.

On the other hand. Im not to encouraged. We have seen nerfs happen in the past that end and or chase players way. My question was not answered. Why not build up bots that basically suck for wars? Ooo like make all 5*s war worthy? Anticipating a nerf is so negative instead of bringing dead bots back to life.

Why not fix them, are they special? The game should be such that everyone enjoys it, not just a couple of people who want unbalanced bots and the game. Before, when they were at Space Аpе, they rarely monitored the balance. If they don't, the game will become unbalanced

Sure, "fix them". Then give me the option to undo all the resources I enter into a bot? I would not care what bot is nerfed. It would make sense to de-rank and un-spark my bots as I please.

Other players have full bots, no complaints. Fixing affects all bots, not just yours

There will always be nerfs and buffs, buffing everyone and not nerfing any would make balancing hell

Don't act like this is new. Bots are presented to the community and nerf later on. This is not an accident, as if the testers and developers do not know the issue or how over powered a bot is. Just so we chase it in the events and spend money and resources. Then nerf it later on. Then start all over again later. So, since I spend time and money leveling the "soon to be nerfted bots". Give us 3 buttons, un-rank, un-spark and un-experience bots. That would fix the un-used nerfed bots sitting around. Allow us to rank up the incoming new over powered bots. Instead of feeling bad about leveling that bot. That will get nerfed soon and never see my A-team again. Also, the General rank would not be so hard to reach anymore. This will change the scope of the game entirely. Nerf away!

The core issue here isn't about balance. It has always revolved around ensuring sustainable revenue for the game - something you might never hear officially stated, but any adult with reasoning capabilities should recognize this. Just like Blizzard's Hearthstone, which periodically moves card sets from Standard mode to Wild mode. The fundamental goal is to incentivize players to purchase new bots while guaranteeing pay-to-win players' premium experience.

When everyone uses nerfed bots, it's as if no nerf ever occurred. When everyone uses buffed bots, it's as if no buff existed. If you gave every person on Earth superpowers to become Superman, then Superman would become the new normal. Similarly, when everyone could use unbalanced bots, it effectively meant no imbalance existed. The real problem emerges when players use just 1-3 bots to defeat bases of top alliance pay-to-win players - this severely compromises the spending players' experience.

Several bots have become so overpowered that newly released endurance bots can't even find their place in the meta. As some have pointed out: "You shouldn't have created these monstrously overpowered bots in the first place." But all this ultimately serves to stimulate spending and allow certain players to enjoy privileged advantages.

Personally, I believe some participants in this bot balancing process have let personal biases influence certain nerf decisions - I won't name who or specify which bots. Regardless, while we can complain, we should understand their position. Without revenue, the game would cease to exist. Players can manage their investments wisely: pay-to-win players contribute dollars, while free-to-play players invest time as companions and emotional support for spenders. Through different means, we all share the same hope - for this game to endure.
