So now we are going to have a bunch of n00bs who can barely shoot straight, attempting to jump snipe and more than likely shooting their team in the back.

Just.....just....just.....

Hey, at least they are making my srm/pulse laser AWS more fun. Now that you say it, I might add some more rear armour though

Sorry, jump snipe/LRM meta is not fun when you're a brawler pilot.
Another patch, another month I'm playing Path of Exile.

CYA!

As a Brawler, I'd be more than happy to see these.

I didn't have to try it, closed beta veteran of 2+ years.

I have meta fitted Mech's, Victor, Battlemaster, Jager and a Banshee they are not fun. Playing the meta to be competitive is not fun. Its lazy.

BYE

Following the old addage... if you can't take the heat, get out the kitchen.

Poptart meta complaining is for the weak and useless. Sorry, had to be said.

And yes, all 27 of the mechs I own are brawlers, in fact that's all I've done since closed beta. The meta is just simply not that big of a deal

The point I was making is PGI are supposed to be discouraging the meta with AC nerfs so they introduce a meta champion mech and promote the meta. Contradiction there somewhere...

Well, you could say the same about any Blackjack. What are they supposed to do, fill it with 8 laser slots?

Any mech that can hold an AC is meta?

If they did that, we'd have the uselessness of the HUnchback laserboat on our hands all over again. THey've already nerfed lasers to near uselessness as it is. "Ghost heat"? GTFO with that ****.

Yea

Tell me, while you are whining about ghost heat, how it works?

Do you know? Or just riding the bandwagon?

Did you know you can fire 6 mediums and 2 large lasers without penalty?

Or as many freaking medium pulses as you want (now with reduced heat in this patch)?

Did you also know you can fire 2 ppcs, 2 large lasers, and 6 medium lasers, all at the same time, and suffer no ghost heat?

Here, read up on it.

It's no nearly as bad as people think. .5 seconds is not a long time.

Meta is only what works....if you nerf one thing to make it not work the same the community will just find and move onto the next "meta" idea. You cant get rid of the game within the game and its silly to think you can just by nerffing weapons. People will find the next working build (or meta build) and just use that. Which results in more whinning and crying from half the fan base and N.O.P.E from the other. Then PGI nerfs more things.....ugh endless cycle.

You don't get the true effect of meta without skill. Giving new players a champion mech with an actual viable build doesn't ruin the game, not to mention they're actively balancing things.

If meta is ruining your game, the problem is 'you' for being unable to adapt, or not being skilled enough.

True, so how do you change the meta to something other than high alpha pinpoint damage when PGI is training new players to play the meta from the word go? They may suck to start but it will be all they use like competitive players.

There is nothing meta about this particular mech other than it has the requisite hard points. It's a death trap.
