It is amazing how much champion league players have become dependant on this weapon.Or those guys would never reach champion league without this weapon.Camp and screw the beacons,when the game is almost over,lets hope we killed enough of the reds so we can finish them off before the game ends.If they loose their shocktrain build early in the game,they will start going for the beacons and try to catch up on the beacon bar,but then it is only rush rush,no skillfull approach.They dont care if they loose the game,they have played out their strategy,and they are like:"oh well sometimes we win,sometimes we loose".I am just amazed how similiar their games are,one after another.Drop bulgasaris first and pick on the reds.I just lost 3 games in a row because of those new age campers.I didnt even get to drop my bulgasari shocktrains and the game is over.SHENZEN,5 guys standing around home beacon and waiting for the reds to take a peek,but why would they when they keep center and both side beacons.So i am trying to do something about it,pushing relentlesly,to at least get my silver.I end up with 700k dmg and 2 beacons on my count,while they have 150-250k dmg and zero beacons.I didnt even get to drop my bulgasari shocktrain,that is how long the match was!This shocktrain crew would work great on yamantau,but shenzen?!?! It is really rare thing to get a great game in champion these days,every game looks a like as the one game before,and sure as hell it will like the next one.I wonder how would they play the game without shocktrains...

Welcome to the new meta. Dmg is king, anyone else that is try to get close and cap beacons come in last place. Hate to sound cynical but it's getting tougher and tougher now that I'm see Spectre 4xST every 2nd or 3rd game. I'm sure we'll be seeing them replace the Bulg ST for Spectre ST.

At least you got beacon rush, the only match I seem to get is TDM which I absolutely abhor!

We have definitely lost a few things from classic. Corner shooting, beacon theft, back pedaling rockets, and using a fast bot to run around slow bots. We have traded skillful counterplay for Spectre ST. That thing is really really stupid. |

I had a really close game against a clan of AW on TDM on Yamantau. Probably the worst combination of the 3 if you ask me. Lots of camping, but we were so close to winning. Last 30s, everyone started to come alive trying to get that one last kill as the score was 8-8 up until the last minute. Then a flurry of kills and it ended up 10-8 us. Then at the last second, it was tied.

If the field is saturate with STs the game play degenerates rather fast (especially on certain maps). Not fun at all. The other issue I have with STs is the severity of their chain effect and they go straight through the shields of my bulgasaries. I find the tempest fury to be an effective counter on some maps and und under certain circumstances. However the opportunity of such a counter is rather limited due to the need for the right conditions to arise. |

ST bots rarely expose themselves long enough to take on any significant dmg feom kinetics weapons |

Well at least you are in Champion league. They appear in silver and gold league as well. A well played team seems to best it every time. At least in my leagues. I think clan/guild or whatever needs more improvement. In the current system youre almost punished for going up ranks, and thats less incentive to join a clan
