TFW potato calls other people potato

Had a potato ranting at me for daring to run my Panther 10K with 2x PPC last night, 'cause "it's a bad build!".

Yeah, stupid ******* KingCrab.

How dare you go for base cap as assault in assault, where capping the enemy base is main win condition. Should have shared armor with the rest of your team in the middle of HPG Manifold.

That's at least what they wrote about me in chat after we lost the match.

Actually, base capping in assault is usually a bad idea; it typically only works when the entire team does it, and even then it is easier to counter than to pull off.
Pretty much only lights should be touching the enemy cap, and only briefly to try and pull enemies away from the main fight.

While yeah, it sucks to be ranted at/abused by teammates... they did have a point, because in reality, the primary objective of all modes is 'kill all enemies'.
The other objectives are better called 'secondary objectives', because they are secondary to the best way to win battles: killing enemies.

Well, this event has brought out the potato pilots who think that lights are invulnerable...and forced them to play lights.

And then they wonder why when they have to stop to fire, they get absolutely murdered by an assault's alpha strike. Go figure. -.-

T.T it really isn't! I can't count the number of times those overquirked IS mechs just keep eating alpha after alpha and refuse to drop!

Bah, I got tired of trying to play properly with so many potatoes around. Time to cram 6 ERML + 2 ERLL on a kitfox.

... You do realize the Arctic Cheetah is a Clan mech, right? (sorry but that's the only 30 ton mech I've seen eat a Alpha Strike without slowing down)

ACH drops fairly quickly when you put some direct hits onto it. STs take 40 damage and they blow off. It's just that its hitboxes are god tier that most apparent hits don't seem to register - there's major spacing between its skinny limbs and the rest of its parts, and that causes a lot of problems for projectile convergence. Heck, I can kill them in a 1v1 duel in a kitfox maybe 2 in 3 times, but they -still- piss me off because sometimes HSR fails to accelerate projectiles that would otherwise hit them. All because of their really spaced out hitboxes.

Also, as far as 30-tonners that eat alpha strikes without really slowing down, Spiders do that as well. But at least spiders don't carry massive, massive armaments, and are just annoying.

And I wasn't referencing only lights. Both IS and Clan lights are in a very fragile state atm, except for maybe the Urbanmech and the Panthers thanks to their massive armor quirks. Most heavies are given a maxi-sized serving of armour and structure quirks, and it's getting to the point where it's extremely frustrating to chip away at their armor with my piddly little 2ppc armament. Combine that with the fact that most fatmechs have alphas over 50 pinpoint damage (not necessarily front-loaded, which is only a slight relief), and it makes for a lot of vitriol to be directed against their pilots. How dare they continue to complain about light mechs when we can't afford to make a single mistake duelling them, while they can afford to make lots and lots of them and still not die?

Filthy ACHs and Locusts. Well, I suppose it's more a fault of the HSR culling algorithm that throwing slow projectiles at them is a total crapshoot...
