Just played another example of a completely lopsided match. Other side hangars all tridents, aphids and other missles. My side a mix. Their side, ttfurys, griffins and fn' pattons. My team couldn't get make any progress againt the constant, and i mean contact missle barrages. My plasma mechs were worthless and couldn't close distance due to missle range and splash.
Their team just slaughtered my team. SO everyone words out again. With the NEW MM. Just missle it up and you will instant win. Everyone else, tough luck.
As the name suggests missle boats suck and turn this game into battleship. Stupid.

Next mission exactly the same. Bunch of cheap mechs running around with all missles. Differen map, same result. I don't run a full plasma, knife hangar. That's sucicide but missles have taken over game. It's the new meta. Any mech with missles will beat any other weapon type. Missles guys, fire, run and hide then pop up and fire again. No chance you can catch them.
Shorten the range of the missles or tone down the splash damage, game balance is totally skewed towards missles. If it wasn't there wouldn't be matches totally dominated by them.
Email Pix, don't buy gold or silver till a fix really is in place.
And F off if you tell me to play better or use more strategy. There's not strategy or cover against tt furys, when there's 4 of them on the other side.

3rd match. Another same result. Missles rule the day. Anyone using plasma setup is mowed down in short order.
is this really the intention of pix? There has to be a way to bring back some semblance of balance. Literally down 60 in leagues in 3 matches. When i do advance its + 3 +7. Total BS system, not because I'm not doing well these last rounds, because game has been rigged to favor one type of weapon.

Rant is being mad about it bro, I'm not mad. I'm offering a play by play of my last 3 matches and critiquing the system that is mismatched imo.

Managed a +3 on this last map. Again missles rule the day. If you have plasma tough noogies. You cant close distance I guess I'm going all griffins and dumping every thing else that 'I've built in the last 6mos since it's all obsolete.

I guess that's what pix wants, to churn through mechs and weps because that makes most players spend real money catching up when they see how mismatched they are.
It's all about the money, be prepared to pay up in real $$ to buy your way back. That's why the league system is in you face now. You can see -20 and that makes you want to claw those points back. WHen your 10/10 hangar is obsolete due "balancing" (LOL) then you better buy the new balance with real $$ so you can play decently again.
Just my 2 cents on why league system is now in your face.
You don't have to agree, you can call my feedback whatever you want. This is just one players experience.
Again, f that if you say play better or use more strategy, I'm using all of it. THere's just no defense againt missles at this time.

I would get kicked to a rants board for giving feedback on actual games I'm playing? That seems kinda weak.

The real question I Have at this point is why is mm comparing and matching heavy missle hangars against plasma hangars? Why did the team i was just on have pattons and Gerard's in Diamond 1? They were plasma as well. The other team mowed them down in seconds with missles....

Molots are incredibly good at killing TT Fury as is the hydra spiral griff/rhino. Zeus carnage also very good at killing them. Nashorn on s fury or carnage or Natasha also worth mention here. RDB Griff can jump in n fire then hide as well.

I picked up a -4. This game started with my plasmahad, 4 missle griffs on my team. Other team, much the same, all griffs. Then they broke out the ttfurys, and ancelots, and more missle'd up griffs and mowed my team down. They finished up with a number of spider bots with, you guessed it, more missles. Hydras reigning everywhere.
Luckily I only got -4.
This is my worst losing streak ever. Shocker

Yeah, i hear ya, everyone is running RDB griffs. Plasma bots are useless now. Especially the Brit bots. Might as well as shelve them since cheap griffs with missles is the new meta.

So, your blaming the MM for people's weapon preference?
Are you insane?
Are you extremely drunk?

If you can't kill rocket setups with plasma, I don't think spending any amount of money in this game will help you. Stay back at 340-350 metres from the 'rocket meta' and wreck face. If you are having problems with aphids, backpedal, or get to cover

Just managed a + 13 on canyon, not sure how. I lost my last mech to a rhino with aphids/hydras. I was out a while before match ended.

Haunter, what are you talking about? Stay back 350 and wreck? I'm not talking okrans here. It's the rest of the missles. 500m/50m splash damage. I had my plasmahad taken out in one shot by a leaping griffin missle boat. One shot. My plasmahad is lvl 9. My Lancelot is lvl 9, regularly gets 2 shotted by missle boats. I'm leveling an ancile so nuff said. I have a token griff, i hate using him. I was using a rhino with mags/okrans. That was a total waste as he would get creamed by missles when trying to close in to use em.

LOL, ok so you are just trolling i see. I obviously suck and you are an expert. I bet you never lose a mech. I wish I was you.
Ok, go away now. You don't have anything more to contribute than, I suck, you are not helping.

Yeah, what is the distance of those hydras? That's why my half health Galahad died. Cannot close distance because missles kill me before i can get in firing range. I think that's been my point the entire time. Thanks though.

Never said I was an expert, it's just that it's difficult to die to that rhino setup. And I see, so your are complaining about mid range, not necessarily knife rockets. Use cover to get close. As for 'I am not contributing, I'll go back to my first post. How is it the MM's fault that people want to use rockets and mid-range?

What I'm looking for here is some consensus on the state of the games I'm seeing in Diamond 1.
1) it's very missle centric 2) its very Griff centric
3) other weps and mechs are at a general disadvantage.
You might find this helpful.

I never said it was your fault, or anyone else's. People will naturally use whatever gives them an advantage. In this case mid/long range wins over plasmas/short range.
I wish i could have closed the difference. I was toward the outter beacon on canyon, running to assist a squad mate, who died before i got there. I killed what was left of the griff, then that rhino spawned nearby, my shield was nearly gone and I was down to 1600 health. There wasn't much i could do.

As far as MM fault, I think the MM should consider overall wep type composition when matchmaking, not just level. Type. Don't match all plasma heavy hangars against 6 guys with DB griffs and tt furys. For instance. The plasma guys get creamed every time.

SO, got moved to rants because of an angry tone and talk of MM. apparently evaluating MM in General discussion is a no no...

I'm in diamond currently and run 1 RDB Griff, 1 ork/aphid Griff, 1 plasma Griff, 1 ork thunder lance, 1 taran thunder lance. Avg 500k but fairly regularly see 700k+. I don't skip maps either. I'd suggest working on using cover to your advantage. Plasma definitely isn't dead by any means. As to your earlier comment about missiles have a 50m blast radius I think you're a bit confused as the only ones with that big a blast radius are tridents. Tulumbus and pins have nowhere near that big a blast radius. As far as hydra go hug walls n most will not touch you. Same goes for aphids. Happy hunting.
