Your most cringeworthy builds.

I just popped on for the first time in a couple weeks and OH MY GOD the PUG lurms are redonkulous! Seriously! At LEAST half of the enemy team had a least one LRM10 launcher. It was just a game of hiding and fighting in the shade... So I pulled out the trusty old 3L and ruined some jackasses day.

I now cringe for every skillless try-hard who uses their locks instead of their eyes and reaction speed.

 

It's a Jagermech or a Blackjack? Huhn??

 

On the topic of very mixed up weapon loads.... *looks at Blagg's attempt to fill every hard point with a different weapon*.

 

if it works (Ninja-Style), why not?

 

Mixed weapons?

 

He never said he piloted it or saw it in game.

 

Now I want a video demonstration of this monster.

 

Ok, I have my LRM Centurion with 3 launchers. I know, I should get in close and face tank assaults with it.

Bonus points for the single machine gun >< "Underperform" was definitely the word of the match for this one.

 

Mmh you forgot the 2 MPL.

 

Honestly, I think that build comes default with 2 MPL and 3 SRM4, so those didn't throw me at all.

 

Have to be honest and say I think stock zombie cent is weak until its doubled as you can't effectively spread damage until you can twist at max etc. Struggled with levelling that one until I doubled it then it was like I stepped into a new one!

 

Can someone explain this Atlas to me?

 

I don't understand the fascination with LRM's like they're some sort of super weapon. It has crossed my mind that a lot of these might be new players who are bad at aiming, but using LRM's isn't going to help that. Nor is it going to help improve their score. LRM's can be deadly and are certainly annoying, but they're so easy to avoid unlike lasers, and ballistics, and SRM's.

In fact I've come to view LRM's as a suppression weapon, like AC2's. You can use them to force an enemy back into cover and pin them in a location you want them to be, even if you don't do much damage. But too many players don't understand this and do not understand that certain mechs work better for this.

 

Incidentally, I made a second account to play with my housemates for their first games, and tried out the Trial Atlas for the first time...and realized it has LRMs. That is probably contributing to some of this...
