Seeker and Solis make FFA nearly unplayable

With the FFA tournament this week, everything changed. Every bot had a Seeker and Solis. At the start of almost every battle, a Seeker would teleport behind me as soon as I spawned, sometimes two at once. Of course, this is instadeath since they always have maxed weapons. And if Seeker didn't get you, Solis surely would. I've gotten pretty good at handling Seekers in the wild and the add some challenge, but to allow bots to spam them in close quarters FFA maps is ridiculous and frankly not enjoyable. Please consider taking this down a notch.

I agree. some mechs shouldn't be used onr only used in small quantities, same for some weapons or else matches can become rather horrid. i suggest having a list setup maybe?

This list would hold the type of weapons,mechs and amount of these two a bot is allowed to use on a specific map, this way it may be a little more balanced out and may help make it easier for the developers to better controll the balance in matches since at times bots will use mortars and missles in maps that simply don't support the use of suchs weapons.

Having it done this way will also help to avoid mortar and missle spamming from bots.

Solaris is ok as it is still fairly realistic (blinding opponents).  However, Seeker has ruined the game because warping behind enemies ruins the concept of "cover".  I am a longtime player and this has drastically changed the game for the worse.   Every tactic you had before is now worthless because cover is worthless.  Totally unrealistic and horrible decision for your loyal gamers.  This shows a complete lack of concern for legacy players.  Get rid of seeker and refund everyone's account that purchased it!

solis, it's really a questionable choice. too much trouble. as well as seeker, the game reaches low levels of playability

To showcase them and crush you so you feel obliged to buy said weapon or mech to keep up with the meta.

Such a low life customer support they have, all they ever say is they will pass on to the devs ??? seriously why do we need support then ???

Plarium should really upgrade their player support, it's so bad and such a low standard.....

Hello! Delivering feedback to the developers is a complicated process that takes many stages, not to mention fixing the issue itself. Besides, a large part of the players' concerns is, in fact, subjectivism, which can be pleased by one part of the community but criticized by another. 

My message meant that this feedback was heard and that we would take a look. For today, I can confirm that the devs are working on this issue and the number of both Seeker and Solis is reduced.

I'm wondering if maybe mech arena could do some sort of regular feedback report where the team shares common feedback they receive and the response to it perhaps in a video that also gets shared across mech arena community channels. Because as of now, it's hard to tell if feedback is heard and considered.

I have never once found anything dedicated to responding to feedback in the discord. I did notice in dev vlog Q&A questions related to some major feedback are answered. However, those are few and far between and not all major feedback comes up or not any questions related. There have been 11 since MA released globally almost 4 years ago now

Where? This is all I see. Suggestion channels have always existed, and the team doesn't respond to feedback there. They don't respond to feedback in announcements. So I have to ask again, where?

And where can I find responses to at least the major feedback?
