Robocraft Mentality

Hey Everyone! Garens doing one more article for today, as the first one was a short one.

This time around I want to talk about the mentality while playing Robocraft. You may just want to take the game less seriously as maybe I want to, that is completely understandable. But you may want to do it like me and take every game serious. Want to win every game? Then you are like me. This mentality is completely fine in my opinion. But I will tell those of you that don't have this, why I do.

Firstly, there is the fun you get out of a seriously good game. Just before starting to write this article, I had a battle with my tier 5, Leopard Mk. II (you can see that in the second ever blog post) where I had 3 kills and at least 4 or 5 assists. Now, this was the game that made me realize how really seriously I can take this game. When I saved the base against a plasma robo, that had 60% hp against my 50%, I felt like jumping in the air and cheering all day. Then I looked back at the last few games I had before that. I almost always had 2-3 kills and a few assists. But at the start of the day I lost money on my Leopard. Then I felt down like no other time.

The thing you have to take away from this is that those of the players who take the game seriously, and want to win every game, will do anything they have to. Most of the times I'm the good guy, that takes damage for a teammate when they are fillped and cannot get up at first, but there are guns on the other side. I'm the good guy that saves people when they need it and gives them kills that he could've had. But whenever I do that, I get annoyed as I can see noone else do it for me.

More importantly, however I get annoyed when I can see our cap going up and noone going back. Now, you may see that I could have gone back myself. That is totally right, and I most of the time do a B-line to our base whenever I see the cap going up, but I'm usually on the other side of the map, doing some damage to a camper, or capping myself. By the time I get to our base we had been already capped and lost the game.

These battles I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I always feel that way. And that is the good mentality. There is always something you can learn from the game you just played. I want you to look back a few minutes and think: 'What could've I done better?' 'What decisions were for nothing and which were good?'
These things you should go through every time you come out of a game.

However, you don't want to just take things away from lost games, but won games too. You probably could've done something better in EVERY GAME YOU PLAY.

And one more thing about mentality. Think of every game as separate. There is no last game, when you are in grinding mode or getting better mode. Tryhard mode is also allowed, just with friends. It's more fun that way. Anyways, back to topic: Each and every game is separate. Doesn't matter if you had 13 kills, the next game you don't go into like: 'Hey, I had 13 kills, I'm the best in the whole universe, I can do whatever I want to...' That is the wrong way to this problem. On the other hand, if you died 20 seconds into a game, you just hit Escape, go to a next battle. That easy. You don't have to blame other teammates who maybe got in your way and flipped you in front of 3 enemy plasma robos. You'll take a deep breath, you press escape and do another game with the same attitude as the other one.

This is all I wanted to tell you. Today there were 2 articles, and I hope you enjoyed both of them. If you think there are advices I forgot or left out something important, please comment on this article. Otherwise I'd be happier then anyone on this planet if you followed the blog, as I will do a post every day until school starts, then 2-3 a week, depending on my free time.

Anyways, have a good day.
