Screw the matchmaker. Screw the meta. I'm gonna play whatever the Hell I have fun playing, and I don't care if it isn't perfectly optimal, or doesn't increase my ratings or win rate or any of that jazz. Sometimes I'll kick 「bum-bum」. Sometimes I'll get pasted. That won't be any different than it already is, except...
...I'll be having fun driving the bots I like best the way I like best.
Screw it.

That's the way I play now --- but I'm already in the top bot/weapon levels.
For those in 7-11 bot/weapon levels the MM must be terribly frustrating.

My top lineup is level 7-8 bots with level 5-7 weapons. But to honest, It's also mostly just a matter of taste. |

Thats pretty much it, or take a hiatus, or just quit.

Once again I'm drifting toward the all-light hangar with a small medium twist (carny). Plasma Galahad to be shelved soon.
I have re-introduced myself to Cossack and dusting off my gep. With few more Au I'll invest in Gary. Kinda sorry I took gala instead of 2 of these.
Once again - much more fun with bots that give mobility rather than heavies that were putting me against L10-12 garages all MR - damn boring game that is/was. Meta my 「bum-bum」 !

Once again - much more fun with bots that give mobility rather than heavies that were putting me against L10-12 garages all MR - damn boring game that is/was. Meta my ?bum-bum? ! That's sort of what I've been running into as well... I really enjoy the mobility of the light and medium bots, and, as a 'business casual' gamer, don't have a whole lot of gold to toss around. Previously, I'd been running hangars that were mainly 4/6 Boas and Cossacks. It was helluva fun. When the new matchmaker came along, I started getting paired with bots and weapons that were in the neighborhood of 8-10. I stepped into heavy bots to try to 'stay competitive', and as you might expect the competition got tougher. I'm doing well enough, but driving the heavies just isn't my style... They just feel so sluggish. It's like a bunch of sumo wrestlers playing dodgeball. Guh. I think I'm going start by leveling up my Boas... They can take as many hits as most heavies, have only a little less firepower than a Leo, but have a much smaller hit box and are far more nimble. |

They can take as many hits as most heavies, have only a little less firepower than a Leo, but have a much smaller hit box and are far more nimble. Exactly where I was. I had a gep, 2 boas and Golem, last slot was shifting gep<>patton. Mechs were all L4 with guns L6/7 on mediums and 8/9 on light. I did have a fair competition, but it as lots of fun. Now I have a boa @ L6 now but it's not a rocket yet. Other one I have is Carny @l7 and it's not too slow, until the rush mode depletes; feels like hitting a wall. Either way - I'm upping bots now, maybe even past the gun levels. I'll try to be patient to see where it gets me under the new lovely mm. PS: and yeah, I'm also kinda older / business / family guy myself and this short time I can scrap for gaming should be a top notch imo. I don't need to prove anything, just want to have some fun exploding bots and trying to outsmart some other players lol |

First of all, what heavies are you piloting that you think are so slow?
Last year there was an enormous update that made the difference of a Natasha even being considered a threat, the leo and griffin hit 35 km/h at lv9, the difference between a patton and a griffin was just 5 km/h.
Talk about underwater sports.
If you think heavy is slow level it up to 9 and look at older youtube videos when they called this game "walking" war robots LOL

Talk about underwater sports. If you think heavy is slow level it up to 9 and look at older youtube videos when they called this game "walking" war robots LOL So, your argument boils down to... 1) They used to be slower, 2) they're slightly less slow if you level them up, and 3) the fastest heavy is still slower than the slowest medium bot. What difference does that make? They're still too slow for my taste. Telling me that you don't think they're that slow isn't going to change that... because it's a matter of taste. At best, it'll ridicule me into playing bots that I don't have fun driving. And if I'm not having fun playing the game, for what ever reason, why bother playing? I'm too old for that bull「dookie」. |
