User:GellyPop/General Player Types

This page discusses a few player types in Team game modes. Sometimes they're a mix, but we're talking about the main types.

Players
These are the people who play the game just for the fun of it. The difference between them and Trollers is the fact that Trollers are usually troll classes (e.g. Landmine and Battleship) but Players are just any class doing anything.

Teamers
These are the people who all watch some youtube channels, and anybody can put something in their name. These people are commonly found in TDM, and the most common clan things for thoareas [MG] (Master Gaming). They are usually the same class, but can always change. Other clans include [AG] (Arcade Go), [RDT] (Diep.io Subreddit) and [GZ]. Although some people use clans to team, most just join them for fun.

Reporters
These are the small, un-upgraded tanks, who have all movement speed and nothing else. They zoom around the map until they see danger. They then run to the home base and spin and shoot to alert other players.

Trollers
These are the people who play the game just for the fun of it. They're usually Stalkers or other invisible tanks, who stand still, and all of a sudden they pop out.

AFK people
These are tanks who are always Octo Tanks or Triple Twins, who stand still around the server, put Auto Spin and Auto Fire on, and then just leave the room. This is also a farming strategy, but most players do this as a hazard, to block enemy tanks from going in that direction.

Warriors
These are the brave people who go up and close to the enemy base, and wait for tanks to come out. These people are usually Tier 3; you still need to be careful doing this, though, as going too close while chasing will leave you with the guardians, or people behind who can chase you into their home base.

Defenders 1
These are the Tier 4 people who can stand near the base and protect it from other tanks, while the smaller tanks stay inside to farm. You only see this strategy when the other team is dominating, but when it reverses and your team is winning, half the defenders go to offend the base, and the others stay to protect the base.

Defenders 2
These players, instead of protecting the base, they protect other tanks who are shooting near the base. These people are always Trapper or Overseer branch. Smashers sometimes do this, but they can be defeated easily. Tri-Trappers are awesome for this, as they can put Auto-Spin on to create a forcefield.

Distractors
These people you see only in Domination and Mothership; they are small, speedy tanks who distract the Dominators and Motherships. They run around while the Dominator or Mothership tries to catch them, while the other players take them down. The Motherships, instead of ignoring them, attempt to catch them since they annoy them.

Rammer
These are the Invisible tanks, or Smashers tanks that, well, you know what they do. While being a rammer, never try to take down bigger rammers, or they can destroy you. Groups of these can take down strong tanks, like the Penta Shot, Sprayer, or even a Triplet!

Traitors
These are the people who are on your team, but still find a way to kill you. For example, you might be farming an Alpha pentagon, minding your own business, then he comes along, and pushes you into the Pentagon, thus killing you. Another type of these are the people who are on your team, then switch to the other team by reloading the page.

They might even truce with the other team(s) and stand there while you die.

Kill Stealers
These are a Hybrid of trollers and traitors. They steal your kills, like you might be a Gunner taking down a Penta Shot, then all of a sudden, Booster comes in and the Penta Shot is dead, not from you. Also these can also be the people who stand near Alpha Pentagons, and when it's low on health, they take it. These are the Drone Controllers and Smashers.
