Every OTHER match.

Please do something about the map rotation. It is really really bad so far this weekend. Maybe the datacenter hiccup threw it out of whack?

Bring LRMs and the griefer code will put you in Mining Collective

I would much rather have map troll than matchmaker troll. Just sayin'.

High heat Mech and you'll get Mordor!

I see that too.
I like Caustic, but.... after 5-6 times in a row it's becoming boring

I decided to keep stats for my A1 Splatcat before we got Clams.

Alpine 71% of the time I dropped in my A1 Splatcat.

I would actually LOVE it if they added code to punish people running boating. LRMboats get HPG, etc, Splatcats get Alpine..... teach people to build balanced frikking mechs finally.

Except I frequently get River City in my near stock 8Q.

Balanced = un-optimized. Besides, on some of my 'laser-vomit' builds, I bring a multiple of ERLL's, ERML's & MPL's. That's both balanced AND boating. Should I be penalized for that...??

Multiple range parameters really ain't boating. These LRMvomit or SRM vomit mechs that <are useless on half the maps are just that..useless.

And what you call "optimized" means over specialized, which should mean you need support from other units to succeed.

That's funny, I haven't seen Alpine in weeks.

While I know that this is first & foremost (unfortunately) an 'FPS w/ 'mechs', the whole idea of a 'team' means you should have support from the rest of the units on the field.

Now, even though that is really just a pipe dream in puglandia, fulfilling a 'role' shouldn't penalize you. Hell, they just instituted rewards for certain roles. There should be no penalization for 'boating'. The simple fact that they're ineffective (in some of the more extreme cases) will weed most of that out.

Caustic, it can go the way of the Dodo....Mordor can follow it....though my last like 6 games havent been on Mordor....sooo, yay?

caustic is fine,

boating is fine,

warm maps are fine.






12 lasers on the nova? no problem, just needs more patience.
2 PPC adder, also fine, people just need to control their spammy triggerfinger and avoid the calderas of caustic and especially terra therma.

I actually like caustic, I often have some of my best matches there in my Nova. People just have to keep an eye on the sykpe, because UAV's can be the doom of your entire team. but UAV awareness and the ability to shoot them down is also part of skill.
