Look, if you want to run a Hydra build, fair play, no complaints from me. They're a lotta fun to some people, me included. Truth be told, I've got a Spydra of my own and I'm pretty fond of him. But... Hydras are already very powerful weapons - in fact, they're about the only weapon in the game I think are borderline OP. They have substantial range, high damage, and a ridiculous ability to hit nearly anybody anywhere. If you use 'em, I promise, you are going to firetruck up some bots. So there is absolutely, positively no need to be that guy. You know the one...that douchebag from Champ league who levels his Hydras and Spirals up to 12 and takes them down to Diamond (and below). Then he just sits there, spamming maxed-out missiles the entire firetrucking match. Never moves, never pokes his head out from cover, yet manages to destroy half the blue team and, when it's over, picks up 5 Au for top damage because his weapons are at least 3 levels higher than everybody else. That guy is the worst. I mean, he's pulling double douche-duty. Not only is he a clubber, taking advantage of lower-level players to fulfill some sad little need of his own, but he's also a troll who isn't satisfied being just an ordinary troll. For this guy, it's not enough to play one of the most annoying builds in the game. No, he has to crank it up to 12 so he can maximize his ability to ruin the game for everybody else. Don't be that guy. Keep your Hydras and Spirals at the level of the league in which you currently play. Otherwise, you become that guy. And some day karma will get you and him...preferably with a horrible flesh-rotting disease of the genitals. FYI, this is just 1 of the 5 'that guys' I encountered while playing today. They were the inspiration for this rant.

tonyfla... All i can say, make it you business to seek and destroy muddaka. That is what I do. Don't care win or lose, but satisfaction is there.

My issue isn't the use of the build. It's the fact they contribute nothing to the win, and often contribute to the loss. They spend their time hiding while the rest of the blue team gets shredded over beacons, while hydradouche stays as far away from a win as possible. I get irrationally angry when a player drops a hydra griff or spider as first bot and retreats to a far corner to do his thing. That is a 5 vs. 6 situation immediately. Often a blue team will lose and that d-bag is still in the corner of the map with no damage done in the same damn bot. I am speaking to the context of beacon rush. Why drop one of these when you opted for a mode that is focused heavily on beacons? I wish we had friendly fire for that.

normally when i encounter a HD it is when I am in the plodding Lance. However from time to time I am in an Ancilot and I just chuckle to myself. By the time the HD reloads I am at full strength again. However it is hard to over come the urge to track them down. To the OP, yes it is way OP. Name the only other missles that can't miss from 600m. All other missles have been tweaked except for these damn things. Nerf the gold 「dookie」 and buff the wsp. Makes total sense to me.

tonyfla ... All i can say, make it you business to seek and destroy muddaka. That is what I do. Don't care win or lose, but satisfaction is there. Agreed. Why I get hammered by hydras solo. I drop an ancilot right after and go and hunt them down regardless of beacon control. My guys know if were in squad the closest guy to the offending red better take him out otherwise boss man is gonna go across the map to get him..:-)

The only way to deal with a douche like him is to out douche him.
USe gekkos..
I have never seen so much rage quit / ejects as with gekkos.
True they don't rage'm out ever map, but for everything else there is charging right up to them with a kumi. An orkan loaded kumi suicide bomber is Guaranteed to wreck someone's life. Typically becsuse campers like to spam missile right away and have no desire to move from soawn, it's a simple matter to skate up to them and punch in the face.
A particular favorite of mine is shenzen.
Everyone but the camper (who thinks he is gonna choke a 「female dog」) gets out of the firing line right away. Often times you can skate right up, take center , and your one dash away from ruining someone's game.
Then it's like a deer in headlights

Because of some of the comments, I want to make sure it's clear: I'm not ranting about people who use Hydras, just the ones who use level 12 Hydras in Diamond league and below.

Yeah, Id love to see one of these fools actually contribute to beacon capture. Know when to drop this build for a more appropriate set up. I often see guys start in this and just sit as far away from any beacons as possible for a whole game, racking up say 300-400K damage. The rest of us do all the beacons, lose 4 bots and do 700-1000000 damage and lose because it was essentially a 5 v 6 battle. This issue is especially bad in BR mode where the whole purpose is to get beacons. No doubt maxed hydra does a good bit of damage, its the play style of the bot that is an issue. Its like BR mode on a short map like dead city and seeing a zenit fury dropped as a first bot- a clear indication that player has no intention of helping the team capture beacons and win. Oh how I wish we could friendly fire. Ive banned hydra's from my clan.

No need to waste your time on those builds. Seems like you're already there. Cry more Tony. All your posts seem to centre around moaning and getting triggered by how unfair the universe is. Funny, just yesterday I was thinking how your posts remind me of a little child who resents that nobody likes him. You were that kid, right? The one who 「dookie」 on everything the other kids did, just because you wanted them to be as miserable as you? And now here you are, chronologically an adult, but still stuck being that same sad, spiteful little boy. You still think that stomping on everybody else's toys will somehow make you less of the miserable little 「dookie」 that you are. That acting out like you did as a toddler will bring you the attention that you crave - because even negative attention is better than none. But nothing helps, does it? Because you can never escape the one thing that makes you the most miserable. You. So instead, you lay the blame everywhere else you possibly can, anywhere that isn't you and your bitter, ugly self. Women, probably. Or minorities. Or foreigners. Or anyone who isn't of your particular ethnic, political, educational, or religious persuasion. You tell your buddies the cause of all your troubles is that boss who gives you a hard time, the new people taking over your neighborhood, the screwed up economy, that damn President - doesn't really matter which president. Any target will do, just as long as you can direct your own self-loathing at them, instead of where it belongs. Meanwhile, just for a bit of relief from the misery of living in your own head, you come to places like this forum and make a point of being a 「wee-wee」. You probably thinks it makes you unique among all the phonies and snowflakes, a stand-up guy who mans the 「fluffernutter」 up, tells it like it is, and takes no crap from anybody. But the reality? There are millions of bitter 「multiple bum-bums」 just like you all around the world. You all feel locked out, left behind by the societies that birthed you. So you pretend to despise them, while secretly desperate to be let back in. To protect yourselves from the knowledge that you are weak and fundamentally broken, you all proclaim yourselves as the tough guys, the survivors, the real men among your people. You ridicule everyone else as complainers and weepers, less able to cope with the world than you. Of course, the truth is something else...because every single thing you do - every thought you have, every decision you make - is driven by fear. You are terrified of change, of attack, of things different from you, of not getting what you think you deserve, and worse, of other people getting things you don't think they deserve. Now, I know I'm being harsh, but guys like you proliferate on the internet, and I've just grown weary of you. Frankly, I wish all of you would just crawl back into your dank holes and mutter your bull「dookie」 to yourselves like the 「fluffernutter」ing Gollums you are. But that's not going to happen, so once in a while, I just have to unload on one of you. Congratulations, today was your turn. Of course, you're gonna leave a reply that says you didn't even read all this, along with some lame 「dookie」 about how I must have been triggered, and basically what amounts to a 'umadbro?' Save yourself the trouble. I know that will be a lie. You'll read every word because it's attention and, again, even negative attention beats none. Matter of fact, save yourself the trouble of any response at all because I won't respond. I said my piece, and I'm done with you. You literally aren't worth another thought.

You want to know the difference between you and I?
I may be bitter, but you are a victim.
Wasted intelligence and effort outlining the inequity of what is and what isnt in passive aggressive tones. There are people fighting and succeeding with only the basics in this so called fixed system and instead you come up with hydra douche puns on why others are winning, and you are not.
Oh... heres a summary in case its tldr;
I cant win unless the system is perfect. So i wont even try.
