incoming rant:

hope you made you $$$ off this BS PGI, love having games utterly ruined by getting stuck with 2 or 3 of these things whilst the other side has zero, may as well play down 2 mechs... hope this is just a fad as there is already enough reasons to be tired of MWO right now.

Community wanted, community got.

There is nothing wrong with Urbies, it's just a new mech people have to get used to.

[InRev]

To be honest, most players are pretty terrible with any light, so the fact that the queues aren't 50% heavy, 25% assault is fine by me.

I'd still rather have an Urbie on my team than a Cute Fox, a Badder or a Mist Stinks(?)* At least I've seen Urbies break 200 damage with regularity, unlike the terrible Clan lights.


*Seriously though, what's the community nickname for these things? Or are they so bad they don't even deserve one?

[FupDup]

This is one of them reasons that I always preach that every option should be viable. People keep telling me "but brah, things shouldn't ever be balanced!" and this is the consequence. We reap what we sow. I told ya so...



Disclaimer: This isn't a specific assessment of the Urbanmech's effectiveness so much as a global/broad philosophy that I have. I haven't fought enough Urbies or even used mine yet to fully determine whether or not they live up to this philosophy.

I was part of a few four urbie lances last night, nobody raged at us for it.

We even spawned close to the enemy heavy lance on river city one match and made them run away lol

I 1v1 circle jerked a dragon and wone lol.

Also, most people are bad in lights and worse in slow lights. Lots of pilots driving these that have no idea how to.

You should post your number so everyone who plays MWO can call you and confirm the acceptability of their build.

Urbie's what?

[Kyzar Kon]

Generic QQ from typical Madcat die-hard. I don't see how you're surprised by this? Some people have fun other than EZ modecat.

[Sylonce]

I had a few games where Urbies were the only reason we won.

[Cyborne Elemental]

A good pilot in a bad mech is still better than a crap pilot in a good mech.

[Zordicron]

I dunno, I ran last night and urbies on my team ranged from 100 dmg to 450. So basically the same range as any lights, with the odd exceptional either direction score here and there.

It's a "fun" thing. You could always go play try hard unit warfare if you want to avoid this. Puglandia be puggin, role with it and realize every team has to carry somebody, not just yours.

[Lord Perversor]

Urbied once, shunned Forever!!!

CANS FOR THE TRASHCAN GOD!!!
