Hello everyone, and welcome to the first edition of the GameTechMods Builder Rankings! This is a project I assembled with the help of a hand-picked panel of community figureheads with the purpose of determining who we think best exemplifies the current standards of Robot Arena 2. We plan on posting a new edition of the rankings every four months, based exclusively on the previous four months’ worth of builds. The first ranking period of the year has just finished, and the panel has come together to determine the first edition of GTM’s Elite Eight.
The Power Rankings Panel consists of:
*Badnik96
*TheOrcCorp
*Geice
*Hoppin
*Sevalent
*Cringey
The Elite Eight were chosen subjectively, based on the quality, consistency and uniqueness of their builds over the last four months. We hope the publication of these rankings gives people the push they need to improve their builds in an effort to appear on the list and establish themselves as GTM’s Elite.
We’ve also decided to acknowledge two players who, while they may not have made the Elite Eight this season, have shown marked improvement over the past four months. These “rising stars” have shown a drive to get better at the game, and could potentially crack the Elite Eight in the coming seasons.
Without further ado, here’s the first edition of GTM’s Elite Eight, starting with our two Most Improved Builders:
Most Improved: evil toaster
Evil toaster has been a part of the GTM community for a good couple of years now, and he’s been slowly improving his building over that time. He disappeared for a while before storming back into the scene with a solid pair of robots to start off his 2020 portfolio. Most notable for him is the stylish heavyweight spinner Rat King, the bot that really brought him to the panel’s attention. If he can keep building things to that level of quality, he could easily work his way into the Elite Eight soon.
Most Improved: ThatDiscordGuy
TDG is relatively new to RA2 and the GTM scene, but his building has already improved in leaps and bounds over his first few months. Take, for example, Crime Scene, one of his more notable designs, which has evolved from a chunky box into a sleek, if rather plain, vertical spinner. While his designs lack originality a lot of the time, he has picked up on the fundamentals of building very quickly. Look out for him to continue working and improving his building, as he could crack the Elite Eight in a very quick fashion.
Now, here's the Elite Eight, starting from eighth and working up to first. Big thanks to Hoppin for putting together these graphics!
