Nothing takes skill. It's all in your head.

Thank you Pada. Skill? Point and click is a skill now? Really? LRMs have a job to do, give them back the keys to the car and let them get back in the fight.

Dang dude.. you got me angry for a second...

(Been dealing with "my weapon is best, other weapons are cheap" crazies since CBT.. as soon as you quiet one- another oblivious one takes his/her place.)

EDIT: fixed the quote

I assure you, that was not 'too long' by any stretch of the definition, although I suppose some men are estranged from extense lengths, huehuehue. :)

Villz you just complain about everything don't you. If it isn't exactly the build you are running it's either cheese or garbage, right?

LOL@ OP , N1 :P

On teh tangent: Simply hitting with any weapon in this game takes about as much skill as using an automatic pencil sharpener.

Tactics, positioning, and movement... those are the only things in MWO that require skill, and are what separate true warriors from arena gladiators playing "hulk smash robots" and flaming lights for capping and winning the game.

Yeah, I've heard that before. Usually from the same people that say my 40.5% hit rate wih LRMs is a lot higher than what most people get. I have no idea what the typical hit percentage is with LRMs, but people say my 40% is high.

Which is it? If they take no skill wouldn't everyone have the same hit percentage?

:P Jellin at you monster LRM success rate! (average 15% here)

Didn't know the LRM hit average was that low. I guess my 42.03% hit rate would be considered pretty high too in that case.

Not surprising considering you are kicking butt in the challenge.

I don't know what the average hit % is, but I do know that people have said mine was unusually high, and by extension yours as well.

GL in the challenge btw. Still on the overall board I see.

Thanks. Not just using LRMs now though. I've used brawling CN9-A and CN9-AL setups and a poptarting TBT-7M to get some of the scores needed to stay in the rankings. Which is really my only goal considering how badly Koreanese is stomping all over the mediums category. Lol.

skill - noun; whatever cheese you have latched onto that allows you to win.
