And with that massive quote wall + possible flame bait from that last statement, I'm gonna ask we get back on topic and, if we talk about tournaments here, it'll be about RA3 tournaments.
it wasnt flame bait, im sorry if it came off that way.

With ai tournaments they just rush each other at every opportunity with no variation. its that bad that I think its affected the meta as rather then make interesting and fun design, all that's gets made is bots with more razors slammed onto a tribars and razors under the bot that fly out of nowhere then ***** in a bukkake party. its really getting out of hand. so that's why I don't tournament, im the kinda guy who doesn't like following meta since I like variety and interesting concepts rather than bot shop clusterfocks.
You see, whenever there is an established meta in something, fun can still be had. You play Yugioh, right? When some guy came 3rd (or something like that) in the World Champs using Mystic Tomato, everyone went crazy and started copying his 'innovative' idea. If you try to break the meta by doing something unorthodox, you can have some fun. However, RA2's steep learning curve and over 10 years of testing bot designs may make this difficult.

And when I say 'innovative', it doesn't mean something that hasn't been done before, just something that isn't a 'joke bot' and has been executed in a way that makes it successful, more so than previous iterations of that bot type. Variety will only come if you attempt to instigate it somehow, either by doing what I just said or hosting a tournament yourself in which people won't want to/can't use 'meta' bot types.

theres a similar issue in yugioh, just replace razors with kosmos, and its not that every bot should be different im alright with there being a soild enough meta for tips and tricks but not to the point where its your only opportunity for any tournament success.

Personally, I really like the AI tournaments, because:
1. If I was driving my bot and lost, I'd have to blame myself.  With AI tournaments, though, I can just blame the crappy AI and not feel bad.
2. There's no issues with finding times for the matches or anything like that.

Not that I wouldn't try a "drive your own bot" tournament, though.  I just think there are some benefits to the current system.

i will admit that no issues with finding times is incredibly useful and timesaving, expecially given the timezone gap (also blaming the computer feels pretty gud.)
pumped to actually be able to drive a bot in a tournament, that's like half the fun for me

this is why i dont do tournaments
Can you elaborate on this

I don't do tournaments because for me a big part of a competitive event is the sportsmanship behind it and all the moments were they make it in time and its tense AF.what I mean is that the best moments in robotic combat (at least for me) is the moment when the underdog comes out and wins or someone just enters a lolbot and actually does good and everyone around you is like "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN!?!" then you just end up laughing your ass off because their right how the hell did a red grinning armchair beat the series 6 champion. With ai tournaments they just rush each other at every opportunity with no variation. its that bad that I think its affected the meta as rather then make interesting and fun design, all that's gets made is bots with more razors slammed onto a tribars and razors under the bot that fly out of nowhere then ***** in a bukkake party. its really getting out of hand. so that's why I don't tournament, im the kinda guy who doesn't like following meta since I like variety and interesting concepts rather than bot shop clusterfocks.

i think you need to git gud and stop making excuses

i play fighting games, so im completely open to this as well, but did you have to say it like such an ass or is this just how 090101 works?
