It's not dead because it's clearly an issue that needs fixing.

L2P

I run a bunch of robots, but for lights, my Splatcat is literally ripping parts off of them.

Current meta making you mad? Bring out the OLD TROLLS. They still work.

[Silentium]

What is the suggested fix then?

Truly, I am curious now, because i don't understand this attitude that heavy mechs should be an auto win.

[RainbowToh]

A commando like has what 12-16 armor of its front CT n below that for its other components. Single alpha can kill or cripple it. Or slow death by lasers. With better netcode n now laser n ballistic HSR, it is fair easier to die in lights now. Since u just joined us, you didnt see the horrors of closed beta where a light could take on 3 heavies.

[Boris The Spider]

I used to have some sympathy for assault pilots and their plight against light mechs... all up until I bought my first assault mech a few weeks ago. By the time my basic proficiencies were unlocked my assault KDR was 5 times higher than my light/med/heavy KDR. Seriously how easy do you want this game to be? If you are getting swarmed by lights its because either, A.) Your the last man and you are just holding up play, or B.) You have ran off on your own like a charlie and are getting exactly what you deserve.

Question here. Been in several fights where the lights appear then a second later they appear in a differtnt location with no sense of movement in between. Had on I fired on right in front of me maybe 50 mtrs running away from me. Right after the blast he was behind me and moving 90 degrees off his orginal direction. Missed me then as turned and fired the same thing. Best way i can describe it is he warped into a new location and direction. Just had one in Caustic and three lights where all doing the same thing and my team was freking out as we were all seeing the same thing. I know lag in that map but this was beyond that. Anyone care to explain how that happens?

Just so I'm clear: 1) What exactly is the issue? AFAIK it's that you died to a light, but I'm not getting why that is a game breaking issue. 2) How would this be fixed?

Wow. I'm entirely and completely on the same page as Garth. I think I need a shower. :-P

I'm fairly sure you've seen the other threads in this forum about this. Some of these guys want capping removed entirely because it's unfaaaaaaair that at least one member of their lance ought to hold back or maybe be fast enough to run back and defend instead of everyone bloat-boating in the center of the map with tiny engines.

1) Aiming @ a light is too hard, especially with an AC20.

2) L2P

Problem solved.

Does anyone else find it ironic that a player who has named themselves after a light horse regiment is complaining about light mechs?

I suspect some may expect or want this:



Possibly based on this logic:


When in reality when facing a good pilot, some with around 6+ months and 5,000+ games in a light, you are more likely to get this:

Working as intended.

You must not have played against me in my Atlas. I've gotten so good with deflection shots with the AC20 that I will hit you 90% of the time or more.
