Anyone else like when they freak out and attempt to run when they come up against someone who can actually aim, I DO. That is all.

One day, we'll forget that 3L's were ever a thing. Ya' know, when netcode, ECM, streaks, and collisions are fixed.

I took my Raven 3L out for a run today and remembered why i mothballed it. They are stupidly easy. By far more so than the splatcat. (mind you i got smashed in a rather easy manner for a couple of games when i got too lazy to care)

I've seen more 3ML 2SRMs than 3ML 2SSRMs.... Elo must be cutting the cheese

Whenever I come across a single R3L out scouting the same as me in my JR7-D a bit away from our main forces, often the R3L will engage and think it can pick me off rather easily by doing the old circling. But after 3 times of my 2xSRM4 slam into its' chicken legs, they decide to flee. Silly Raven, you can't run from a 300XL Jenner. Leg and then break it, and MWO is a slightly better place once more.

Why eat rounds from someone that can shoot when there are three or four juicy LRM boats to shut down. Save the hard targets for last.

3L's have all but ruined the light mech class. Light mech pilots used to be a lot more common until the 3L made it a frustrating experience. I should know, I've mastered 3 commando variants. I'll stick with my Atlas for now. I've been lucky to see one light mech per side now. Its a darn shame.

I began to play 3L yesterday as a statement to its issues.

Been having a blast! ERPPC, ECM; 2 x SSRM2.

On my good mechs, when I finally hit them, they generally stop running. ;)
