Your most cringeworthy builds.

LRM60 Atlas + Last Man Standing for his team ... Way to go

 

You mean he was successful?

TBH not sure last man standing is the same as it used to be as as our group queue earlier was full of 4 x Atlas/DWF on each side. When a third of each side is an assault they just become the standard.

 

That BNC I could understand if he was running...well, anything but a 20. The ease at which you can make BNC-E an AC10-15 platform is insane, with probably twice the output of an AC20 build...

 

Nice BlackJack build! 5 stars!

 

Amusingly my HBK-4G is running that build with good bonuses and wrecking faces..... not sure its appropriate to a mech 35 tons heavier without the bonuses.

 

I "cry" always if see Atlas/Dire's that abuse these chassis as LRM-support.

They are the cancer of MwO, like rammers in flying games.

 

I suspect we'll see less now as there aren't any Atlases that make even decent LRM boats. Before you could argue it as it was a level playing field. Now the quirks make it an actively bad weapon system relative to other mechs. Of course that only acts as a pointer if you understand the quirks/are an experienced player!

 

Hey, ramming is fun if you're on TS/Vent with a clanmate while on the other team, and you decide that ramming them is what needs to happen That's always when it's funniest too

 

I'm liking this post based on the avatar alone! Welcome to mechspecs.

 

Could be distantly possible that he put a cAP in his LA for some reason (can't imagine why), but unlikely. Maybe he learned his mistake after this...

 

Well, fools and their lives are soon parted, I guess The SMN can actually be made into a nasty LRM boat too, so it's extra disappointing to me to see that (one of my 1000+ SMN games was in the LRM version). It requires consolidating the launchers into bigger versions, and adding some lasers and a cAP though. Maybe he'll come here and learn

 

Well if he had 2 ECM on him an active probe wouldn't help anyway surely?

Groups were covered by 3/3/3/3 anyway so if he was in a unit with 3 meds he can't take one. We had a summoner in ours for a while as we only had 70 tons free but it definitely wasn't 4xLRM5.

 

Only one ECM in the screenshot though The other was just under the umbrella.

 

Came across this gem just now:





Top speed was about 97, so I'm assuming he wasn't elited. If he had speed tweak, it means he was running this:



Perfect example of what not to do with a Raven. Underperforming mech with no armor and no speed, couldn't even get 60 damage with that PPC since he couldn't do anything about them hitting him so easily

Fun side note, I used my Oxide this round, and finally broke 300 with it, but ran out of ammo. Had a TBR foolishly shooting at me as a distracting, and he tore me up, but then ran from my allies. Fired a strike at him, then ran at him so he wouldn't move...and got the kill Booya.

 

Well, for starters he could have gone with a AC5 + LRM5s build. Just as fun with LRM5, but the AC5 actually does something. cAP is a standard for any LRM carrier, right?

 

I run my SMN-D like this:



I've been known to drop the TAG for a second ERML if I'm in a group with someone who has their own, but the cAP in the CT is definitely a must. Amusingly, I ran this mech for a week once forgetting I had transferred its cAP to my Streakcrow, and it still did very well! This is one of my 1000+ SMN builds.
