The BLR (1D especially and an all energy 1S to a lesser degree) can be equitable to Stalkers imo. They can roll torso well, allowing for occasional XL usage (but then you are committed to fighting from fringes vice getting into the facehug brawl). High torso points are decent and arm articulation comes in handy but ultimately the mech is still not a VTR/HGN for 12's.

Alot of fun for me personally though.


Well, there's a lot of "it's not bad, but it's not great either" is kind of the norm these days.

Unless it's "meta compliant"... the "huge fads" don't disappear after a month after release.

It's a small fad (saw a lot of it when the PP was released), so it will more or less pass.

It's as meta compliant as a Stalker imo, but regardless you're right in that it will pass. Didn't say that it wouldn't or you'd see it all the rage in 12's. You don't see much of anything outside of the meta-compliant types. When we meet a team with "other" mechs, it's notable enough to stand out.

It might simply be because... that it's kinda... big.

An Atlas draws such attention, and rightly so, but the Battlemaster doesn't quite have the staying power that an Atlas does (even despite the current Atlas hitbox nerf).

Catapult hitbox changes look really nice to me, gj. It's amazing how that head can get hit from anywhere on the map and yet I can stand directly in front of a phract and not hit it's pea sized head hitbox. Even stranger since the pult's head is angled backward on the top of the mech and the phracts is dead perpendicular to your weapon.

Sadly, except for the S Hawks, none of the Phoenix Mechs are anything special. So glad PGI was kind enough to give me my refund!

No reason to cry about? Cry about patch notes being 5 minutes late.

Gonna say you missed out really because the BLRs are pretty good and the TDRs were decent if you played well.

Your Lack of information is disturbing.

Please read up all the CC-Posts and then look at their twitter.
Also, http://www.mwomercs.com/theplan was recently updated.

And on a side note: A true NOPE-Warrior has the punchline in his signature.

A really true NOPE Warrior would either deinstall or stop to spam the forum.

But that would mean people shouting NOPE over and over again behave childish and with the wrong reaction? :)
