2v2 is unbearable and filled with counters. Its the most cancerous season, but why is that? because we are able to pick the mechs that we want after seeing our opponent's mechs. in 1v1 and 3v3 we cant change the layout to counter the other person but in 2v2 we can. I recommend that we remove the option to pick and choose the mech we want to send in battle. So the first two mechs you have, are the ones that are going to the battle. So it will be much harder for people to counter there opponents. 

One of, if not the best topic I've read on this forum.

Yes, yes please.

The top three clans are on a different scale compared to the rest. no one can mess with them and get in there way. The only way we can try to balance out the power is to give more clans rewards. Maybe after the top 6, the top 25 clans get something and so on.

i completely agree. 

This thread is a copy paste of a reply I made back on the old forum, on a thread about helping SuperMechs improve. You can find the original post here, at least until the old forum dies. I've gone back through the post and believe all the ideas have stood the test of time, so I'm reposting it here. Thanks in advance for reading.

In my opinion, one of the best ways to improve the player experience while increasing retention and revenue is to greatly increase the reward for top clans and players. Below I’ll elaborate a list of changes that will provide incentive for everyone to keep playing and paying. First off and most importantly, provide the top 6 clans with rewards instead of the top 3. It’s always baffled me that the top 6 clans get recognized in game but only the top 3 get rewarded. Increased reward range to top 6 offer huge incentive for a wide variety of clans (which encapsulate a larger margin of the p2w playerbase) to play and spend more to get better at the game.

Top 3 clan rewards changed to the following:
1st - 3 Epic Power kits and 5 Premium boxes ( + Gold Clan Medal) 2nd - 3 Epic Power kits and 4 Premium boxes ( + Silver Clan Medal) 3rd - 3 Epic Power kits and 3 Premium boxes ( + Bronze Clan Medal) 4th, 5th, and 6th placed clan rewards get added as follows:
4th - 2 Epic Power kits and 2 Premium boxes 5th - 2 Epic Power kits and 1 Premium box 6th - 1 Epic Power kit and 1 Premium box This offers at least some incentive for lower ranked clans to grind their way up and have a chance at some rewards, as opposed to getting top 6 for nothing. I’d also like to see increased rewards for the top 3 players, as the gold rewards seem a little low given how much gold it actually takes to upgrade items. Top 10 players rewards are also added as follows.

Top 3 player rewards changed to the following:
1st - 5,000,000 Gold ( + Gold Solo Medal) 2nd - 2,500,000 Gold ( + Silver Solo Medal) 3rd - 1,500,000 Gold ( + Bronze Solo Medal) 4th through 10th player rewards get added as follows:
4th and 5th - 1,000,000 Gold 6th through 10th - 500,000 Gold It’s really that simple. I’ve come across a lot of players who are in this position of ‘good, but not great’ and have diminishing incentive to play the game. It’s somewhat depressing watching their efforts go to waste without any reward, and no chance to break into the top 3 clans/players. You don’t even have to increase the drop rates for these rewards to provide a huge incentive, although I’m sure we’d all appreciate it if a ‘% chance of a L-M item not currently in inventory’ feature was added. Just my 2 cents.

What exactly does?
 
Events are a fair bit of work but it used to be a part time job for a guy who made them about 6 months upfront. Honestly the majority of it lies in research for us - we can't just 1-2-3 change everything because the current event standards are actually not just random but based on extensive market research etc. 
Main issue right now is honestly that we couldn't simply inherit skilled staff (SM was in maintenance mode when we bought it - they had other jobs already), so we've to figure everything out from scratch and hire as well, so a lot of "we" ends up being "me" trying to juggle maintenance previously done by 4 (3 of which part time, thankfully) people in addition to actual changes that haven't been done in years! 
I am in the hiring process for some staff but having some difficulty choosing! Life sucks sometimes. 😛 On the community side specifically, as that's something I really _really_ don't have time for and it's starting to show >.> 
Basically as I start understanding and fixing some backlaying stuff everything (including hiring - hiring people who have to learn everything on their own is ... difficult!) should become much much much easier. 
E.g. we have to get backups in a much better place, there's a serious risk of losing months of data and having a week of downtime or more if disaster strikes and that's just totally not acceptable for a game like this. I'd like to automate infrastructure so it recovers nicely etc (have you noticed? I already did a fair bit of work on that, though the biggest steps are yet to come!), with this i'd like to make a proper pipeline of SM Dev -> SM RC (semi-public beta) -> SM Live so updates get less risky (there's a pipeline of sorts now, but it honestly has some crucial issues, including that the only real test version doesn't run the game the same way as the live version....). We can streamline support by probably up to 90% by offering simple instructions to disable your own base and reach forget password and making clear what we can/cant help with... There's so much we've planned that will make SM more reliable in the long run or free more of our time for stuff more beneficial to the players.... 
Events are part of that - once we've a bit of experience we can probably automate parts (does a human REALLY need to decide what days you get some random bonus? :P), assuming the small parts actually are fun and make sense, and free up time for actual humans planning larger scaled, more interesting events that don't feel like generic drivel. 
Right now the goal of the upcoming event schedule is just for us to duke out what does/doesn't work and play around a bit. Top priority right now is picking up the pieces Tacticsoft couldn't work on as they had a huge need to show results quickly (which we really don't, we're fine spending a few months making the next 5 years easier). But once we've some experience, as with all things, it'll get better 😃

Buffs should not be based on things being "unfair" to other weapons or items.  First off, they are items in a game: they don't have feelings.  And really, since I've never seen anyone using Greedy, it's not fair or unfair because nearly everyone is using Tonto or the backfire drones for their physical mech.  I've seen Hurlbat more than Greedy.
Second, in my opinion, the Swoop buff was an over-buff.  You claim the only way to "fix" this is to buff Greedy.  I disagree: they could also nerf Swoop to reverse their over-buff.
Third, please put this in meta suggestions and attach a poll like the instructions say.  This isn't off-topic.
I appreciate you caring about Greedy, though.
I do not agree with this kind of buff.  Swoop and Windforge do heat/energy damage.  I think the point of this "family" of drones is to be more about drain than damage.  (But if you're going to reply to say Swoop now does excellent damage, my reply to you is going to be that this is because it was over-buffed.)
So instead, I would suggest that if Greedy gets a buff at all, it should be to do more resistance drain, like 12 at divine.  But that doesn't mean I'm even in favor of a buff, I'm just saying if I had to buff Greedy, that's the only thing I would change.  You have to be careful because an over-buff to one item is a nerf to all the other items of that type.
And not every item can be the best at what it does / best in its class.

It would be broken. If I spend 30 tokens for refill, I can get 20 tokens back plus a lot more gold. This will not be possible:/

2. Change your nickname.
3. Don't be dumb, do not give your acc to anyone.

If we are not going to nerf frantic even more then I suggest we buff deso. There needs to be items that can get rank 1 without being meta

we're gonna make old kunts great again, and I tell you what folks, we're gonna make the fratics pay for it.

I like the idea, would love to see it in the game

ability: this trigers when you have 10% or less hp, adds 30 of ressist in physical, heat and ene, and restores 500 of hp
weight: 66
mod space: shield
heat generation: 200
ene drain: 240

Change the T on the tokens to G?

WLGang:
Our main clan is looking for players that are currently rank 2, or rank 1 in arena to join our main clan. In addition, we ask that to join any of our clans, you are a respectful player which means that basically you don’t act inappropriately in supermechs chat, on forums, or in any supermechs discord servers, especially our own.
Relationship with Trolls Fast:
WLGang is a consistent top 5 clan that directly feeds Trolls Fast. This means that at the end of the week if we are not on track to get a medal, I cooperate with Trolls Fast and we move players accordingly, to secure their victory. If you’re looking for a competitive clan, and your best opportunity to get gold medals, let me know! 🙂
 
WLGang 2.0:
WLGang 2.0 is our second clan, led by @Death_Gun  The rank requirement varies, but in order to maintain their position as a top 10 clan, join rank fluctuates between rank 3, and rank 4 (at the start of the week). There are also opportunities to move up to our main clan from here. 
 
WLGang 3.0:
WLGang 3.0 is our third clan, led by @Ad1tya  The rank requirement for this clan also varies, but in order to maintain its position in the top 20, it is usually around rank 5. Once again, there are opportunities to move up. 
 
WLGang 4.0:
This is our fourth clan, led by Dave Awes, and the rank requirement fluctuates a lot. It is slightly less competitive, so if you are just looking for a fun clan that is part of a great community, this is also an option! 😊
 
WLGang Retirement Clan:
Currently, this clan is led by @Atusiff and is a place where players of all ranks are able to join, as long as they have been in a WLGang clan for over one month (without leaving our clans). It is a stress free clan where players can kick back, relax, and enjoy the game we all love while remaining a part of our community!! 😊
 

I think nerfing mods are a bad idea the reason I don’t run en builds is cause I can’t make good enough stats. I think the most important change needed is to lower the weight of energy weapons 

you look cute 😘
so does your friend but I'm trying to flirt with you

I found this thing above the first boss in 1v1 campaign I don’t know what it is or how it came their. But when I click on it, it gives me 3500 gold then says 4 hours till I can claim it again. 
 
I don’t have it on any other account I only have it on the new account. Does anyone else have this or is it just me?

If I have to be honest I have three accounts. When it’s 3v3 season Arena gets boring so I play on my alt account. If I’m no longer to play on my alt during 3v3 season I’ll most likely leave the game since it’s getting boring

Looking at the meta right now physical Mechs are taking over and if we add en free physical drone it’s going to be broken.
