That was a fun match the other night OP. By the way only two of those ravens were on voice comms. The third one was a PUG.

If they nerf the 3L specifically I vote for a speed downgrade or let the other lights go faster than the current limit of ~150kph

I'll say this - I watched my team go down 5-0 quite quickly, only to end up winning 5-8 in the end, because of 3 Raven 3Ls who claimed they were not on comms.

There's no way you're telling me that any other mech would be able to do the same thing. We would have won by cap if they wanted to, they just wanted the XP for the kills.

I've seen it with other mechs. I've also seen 1 mech beat 3-4 mechs just not usually at the same time. Or sometimes a team might not get any kills before most of them go down but they might of jacked all of the enemies up really good. And some times crazy stuff just happens. Like one time I was in a Hunch 4p and it was just me vs 3 atlases, another hunch, and a cat. I killed the first Atlas who was by himself (and... afk), then I one shotted the badly damaged cat, then started fighting all 3 of the others but they kept letting me use cover to basically just fight one of them at a time, Actually lucked out and killed one of the Atlases with a headshot because he overheated or just didn't turn for some reason. Then some how fought the hunch and other atlas (who had little damage) until I lot my left side, but right after that I cored the hunch. Then just kept ducking through cover and shooting at the atlas until I lost my right side, but after a couple of shots from my single remaining mlas I killed him. So that was 5 on 1 (really 4 on 1) but I won and in a medium. Of course if you gave me that same set up 100 times I probably wouldn't win any of them but then again 3 Ravens won't usually beat a whole team either, even though they are OP or at least were (haven't played since the hotfix).

You know...I am more afriad of a 6Med Laser Jenner sneaking up on me than an ECM Raven.... Ravens have ECM you cant streak them...fine but you can shoot them and most likely if you are decent with a laser kill them or leg them before they take you down ....better yet run right to the rest of your team and call a primary target .

A 6 Med Laser Jenner is doing 30 dmg (thats gauss cat dmg) to your back and dissapearing around a corner before you can turn around....rinse repeat....Ravens do what 20 or so in an alpha and the streaks dont hit in the same place as the lasers because the raven is moving.

I like the idea of a speed nerf for the 3L. Make it so something like a Spider has at least a fair chance of being able to escape from one.
