Actually, I do use them, and I use ballistics, and I use LRMs. And I consistently perform almost 2 times better in ballistic heavy builds than energy only builds. I prefer energy weapons, but actually use them less than I use to ( I use to use them exclusively when possible) because experience and data have shown they are not competitive against ballistics atm. But instead of giving personal opinion only, or anecdotal, like you do, I support my observations with actual data and math, as do some others here.
You are too quick to constantly downplay any negative comments about energy weapons, without any supportive analysis to your opinion. To me, and any other person with some level of intelligence, this would indicate a bias. Instead of constantly repeating the same message all the time, try actually supporting that with some data other than "I don't have a problem with them".
No I'm quick to point out your opinion isn't factual. You do better in ballistics? Great. I'm happy for you. use them. Love them.
I don't. I do better in my laser boats. Just because you're better in a specific build doesn't make other builds "bad". It also doesn't mean that those weapon systems you can't use as effectively as others are "broken"
You're the only one not providing data. I've provided tons of data. It's called my statistics. I need no other data to prove your opinion wrong for me. Neither does anyone else claiming they're "fine". I support my findings with math as well. It's called my kdr and w/l and damage at the end of a match.
2+2 = 4 This is a fact
2+2 = 4 is a better equation than 2x2 = 4 This is an opinion
Ghost heat causes xx amount of heat per weapon. This increases boating heat if you fire xx amount of weapons in a specific amount of time. This is above the normal heat caused by those weapons if they were fired individual and consecutively.
Ghost heat = more heat when you boat weapons and fire them en masse. This is a fact
Ghost heat = A bad device and ruins energy builds. This is an opinion
do you see the difference?
