Why The Huginn Hate?
#1
Posted 12 October 2014 - 03:33 PM
Now I've just returned to the game after quitting in disgust during ""beta". I missed that this was an April fools joke. I missed the hate in the forums. When I came back I switched from my longtime faction of Davion which I've been playing since I started playing TT in the 80's to FRR. So of course being very very very drunk and now deciding I wanted to be a space viking Huginn seemed like a must have.
This things a blast. I consistently get good scores and high damage and I SUCK at Mwo. I hunt dire wolves in the thing and win as often as I get splattered. It's nimble, short and crit seeks like a ninja on meth.
Anyone else actually like this mech?

Light mechs are best served with at least some energy weapons. Huginn has none.
Thus, it's shunned by almost everyone. It just doesn't hold up.

This.
Unless you have a love affair with a Raven with machine guns and missiles and a slightly higher engine cap, the 4X gives you ballistic slot, missiles, two energy and jump jets minus the hero bonus. Its different just for the sake of being different and suffers for it.

I have a 960+ with multiple kills Locust 3M match screenshot. That doesn't make the Locust a good mech. Some people can make it work, most people can't. Same with the Huginn. Just because you can make it work doesn't make it a good mech.

ey Locust is a good mech dude , the guy pulls 600 damage and 1V blows components off. You can't put a mech on a "good" state or that Tier bullshit people is been talking latetly....we all know that it comes to the player on figure out how to use them. I've seen the so called "Suckoner" doing some serius damage on matches when people talks **** on it.
And yeah , EVERYONE can make ANY mech work because they're all good for what they been designed for.

Well, there's an Oxide...
OK, I'll stop suggesting another bad option.
I forgot about that mech...
At least it can boat missiles better. It was supposed to have 6 M slots...but apparently OP. Heroes tend to suffer from that, with the exception of a half dozen. The Banshee was supposed to get JJs, wasn't it?
Oxide doesn't even have JJs, which both the Huginn and Ember do.

Always a good time to run a Jenner-D (with Streaks), and go to town on anything smaller. Good times.

You are thinking of the Banshee hero. For the record, they are MIA these days.

And i'm not being confrontational...but doesn't the fact that people can make it work make it a not bad mech? I mean if people could only make one or two mechs work what would be the point of all the other chasis?
I'm not saying your arguments invalid...just curious. I know people that can't certain designs. The mech is bad...for them. Not horrible and not worth buying for other people.

It had the potential to be an HGN-732 @ 95 tons (had it gotten JJs). Now, it's probably a more questionable Boar's Head.

LeBron James can take a basketball made out of paper mache and beat most people at a game of horse. That doesn't make a paper mache basketball a viable alternative to a normal ball.
