No Machina Medal ??

Ok so maybe I was a little optimistic in hoping that there would be a Machina medal.
They did put a new metric in the combat stats and I was hoping that the stats would be the same as the Destroy Enemy Resonators. IE Medal for 2000 boomed resonators.
Alas with 250 portals and 2007 resonators boomed no such medal has appeared.

All in due time, I'm sure they're still figuring out exactly how the mechanics of it all work. Remember, we're the beta testers...
I'm hoping for a few of them. Would be nice to have some game play based stats/badges to actually work on.
@BlackOmegon I've got a bit further than you on those so far. 301 portals, 287 links, 2,479 resonators destroyed. And I've been eyeballng some other red areas on the map for when I have some free time.
Might be fun, if Niantic could figure out how to do a leaderboard on red destroyed for different regions, cells or even world wide?
@NianticBrian put this in your ideas box 😉
I'm sure medals will come in due time. IMO, the initial Machina implementation is interesting but not sustainable once medal hunters start seeking out and targeting them. They don't replicate at a fast enough rate, and we'd likely end up with a fiasco like Cassandra Neutralizer where players begin capturing neutral Portals and destroying Machina nests to deny other players from earning the medals. The feature needs to be far more balanced, possibly by adding ways to induce Machina replication through gameplay, in order to ensure players are actually *able* to earn these potential medals without pulling their hair out.
All Machina Lives Matter. Just let them grow.
