Hmm I thought the effect of BAP does not stack. So how exactly can you beat a team that has 2 ECM mechs or more that stick together with this?

The balance is crucial, but aimbotting missiles and wallhacks make balance difficult.

That is what I am referring to. People like to tell me otherwise that streaks and seismic are not easy and don't need changes.

Yep, just watched the video and I'll admit, it's definitely easier to take stuff like this when people are having a blast running it. And yep, it was rough forcing us into caps on those battles - definitely not the ideal solution.

It really, really is hard to deal with. Several people thought it sounded pretty easy to counter until they saw it first hand. Definitely time to hit the planning stage to figure out better ways to not blow up next time we run across you guys

Where's the video?

I would rather run the 4x4 ppc/ssrm2 with dual AMS if I were bringing stalkers. 8 of them

And that's good for the game? Mass matches of people using the most unoriginal, exploitable builds, while necessary for testing, shows the great imbalance with issues in the game. And it all comes from lack of foresight, and the prophets predictions coming true.

All that's missing is PGI announcing their newest #ESPORTS MOBA and dumping Mechwarrior all-together.

Oh I remember going against you yesterday. The only weakness to those A1 is that you have to close in. Luckly our team was mostly fire support and you trying to close in at forest colony means fast death.

Good try though and I hope to fight you guys again.

Anyways Streaks still hit mostly center torso still, maybe that could be a balancing factor?

Deleted because 2lewd4forums.

PM me and I'll send you a link if you're interested.

I think it is more about SSRMs and their dmg+splash over whole mech so they hit CT all the time directly or by splash.
They nerfed LRMs(dmg and splash) but SSRMs are ok?Yea I love when my comm/spider will get cored from front by 3-4 salvos from dual SSRMs RVN-3L....how nice.

In the grim, dark future, there is only Streaks.

Just sayin'.

[Praehotec8]

It may well be true that 8 streakcats run by a competent team can win vs. pretty much any other 8-man, and PGI certainly needs to be aware that this balance situation exists. However, for us "bad" players in the lower ELO PUGs....well, I'm not going to get too worked up until I start running into packs of hunting cats.

So now ECM is useless, it seems missiles are the way to go, even better streaks.


How long do you think it will be til this is rectified?

Youre a *********. First nearly everyone complains that ECM is a steamroller item, then when a real counter is put in place, you complain the counter is OP...... Uninstall you baddies, this is not the game for you.

No one in their sane mind would ever stack streakboats in any sort of serious 8v8 match with the current way streaks are. If they had their 2.5 damage per missile? Maybe, just maybe. With 1.5 damage per missile? No. Streakboats have 2 crippling weaknesses that just make them bad against any sort of decent opponennt: short range and low alpha damage. The moment you face an enemy who can actually aim at a Jump Jetting mech with any sort of success is the moment you die. And please, spare me the tales of how streaks hit the CT 99% of the time, because I have been on both the receiving and giving end of such boats and know that it is not true.

"Kong" is above such petty things as "serious play", they will never agree to such a match up, don't even bother.

Edit: oh, and regarding my screenshot, take note that we ended up in the worst possible situation against these streakcats. We had to literally brawl with PPCs at close range without pre-emptive softening from long range and still came out on top. If that doesn't show how bad streaks are, nothing will.

Edit2: and I really do not want to shame the streakcat players involved in this match, they did really well with their limited loadout.
