So, why do we all hate Chomp?

[Jammy Dodger]

Welp this thread is a thing sooooooooooo....
I kinda hate/love Chomp as its a great concept that works and is a meh bot BUT Chomp isn't good the driver's are as Zoe managed to stop Bite Forces s*** in seconds so its your choice :)

Wasn't the hit that crippled Biteforce's weapon triggered by the autonomous system?

Maybe maybe not it could have been both

They got screwed by the lack of magnetic floor, they'd been depending on it to absorb the recoil from their hammer

I don't hate Chomp, I just hate the scoring system for allowing Chomp to win its controversial matches.

IMO I think a significant portion of Chomp hate in general does stem either from misogyny (not implicating anyone here) or saltiness that DoI didn't win or get a wildcard. I can see at first glance why someone could consider it a sub-par bot, seeing as it ends up flopping like a fish half the time and its sole means of self-righting look really flimsy (I'm honestly surprised it took until Yeti to get one of those wings knocked off). The only issue I personally have with anything Chomp-related is that the loser of Chomp v. DoI should have gotten a wildcard slot regardless of who won (and I do honestly believe that fight could have gone either way had PRIMARY WEAPON not been such a huge factor).

Ugh, this thread and another I've posted have turned into absolute chaos, now everyone hates me here and on Discord. I.G.U. on this.

[Conraaa]

We have different definitions of chaos.

I thought Chomp was a really cool bot that was targeted by angry people on the internet instead of the new judging criteria

saltiness that DoI didn't win or get a wildcard.

DoI should have gotten a wildcard slot regardless of who won (and I do honestly believe that fight could have gone either way had PRIMARY WEAPON not been such a huge factor).

Gonna disagree with that. DoI's weapon died after a single hit and only got a few lifts in. The producers didn't want a box on wheels with a broken spinner, so they made the decision to not give it a wildcard.

It kept falling over. Been said here before but if they made it wider and moved things to between the wheels instead of on top of them, it would probably be a lot better to control and use that auto trigger weapon, have a lower CoG, and not fall over so much. Winning the fights it won would have been fine if it hadn't been on its side for large parts of them.
