i know i said i was done with this thread but i felt I had to mention that CW is probably the worst game mode for LRMs, you'll pretty much never see them anymore. Even Davion and Marik have stopped using them and they're the two factions that are farthest behind on the meta.
I totally agree with you here.. WHY? because honestly the CW the way it is now really sucks.. You have a weight class, and guess what, it is all about killing. There is zero objectives outside of that, so of course take heavies, take mediums, and kill.
Like i said, I have zero issues with this, but there is a ton of other game play that can be added, or i hope one day, CW makes you need other types of game play. Make some maps that are 5k+ to objectives, and guess what, those 70-80k heavies will no longer be the best ones.. Give some sort of randomness to the drop..
So a long ranged mech, that can snipe at 1500, is suddenly, on a map that is nothing but cover, and made for 100-200m tops. then guess what, the meta on that map will totally change. The biggest issue with CW now, is lack of maps,. just like how the normal drop maps, have really evened out... Some times you got a brawler, and end up on a map with an advantage, others, you end up on alpine, and you are getting Long ranged.. unless of course people understand how to close on those spiners.
Look man, I understand that certain game plays, and especially group play leads it self to certain ways of playing.. But at the same time, there is a whole lotta play where people play not so great mechs, not so great builds, and just out to have fun. Personally, i wish we could have non meta monday, or stock mech tuesday,, or some sort of RP night, that we get to play all those non top mechs, and have fun against other non top mechs.
But till then, at least we have pugs.. and really anything goes, and the guys that play better together are the ones that win. Till that changes, ill keep pluggin away.. and who knows.. maybe a raven 4x qill get quirked to be the goto IS mech one day.. till then, my LRM 15+ 4 ML 2X will be a ton of fun...
