the timberwolf, any variant. supposedly the best mech ton for ton in the game.. i have never scored above 200 damage in it... i can do tons in it's little brother the EBJ, but not the timber.

I'm in a similar boat, minus the 200 damage part (breaking that number is easy the majority of the time). I've always been better with Hellbringers and now Ebon Jaguars than the Mad Cat, for some inexplicable reason.

I think the part that doesn't "click" is the hardpoints on those other two mechs being mounted quite a bit higher, which helps for my peek-and-troll playstyle. The Mad Cat also seems to be more symmetrical or semi-symmetrical most of the time, whereas the other two can be asymmetrical better (i.e. the 4 ERML + 2 UAC/5 build is better on the Hellbringer than the Timberwolf).

My vindicator is a piece of crap and I always get unlucky in it. I still can't resist dropping in it at least once a night just to see if I can finally break the curse

Every single time I take my Founder's Atlas, I get Canyon Network. It's not a BAD map for my build, so maybe not technically a curse, but it's really weird. Like, I've used my Founder's Atlas a ton since I decided to level up my Atlas' when the AS7-S(L) dropped into my account... and every time it's Canyon Network

every time I drop in my Spider 5D lately 3 or 4 mechs will break formation and focus fire at me wasup with that

My Urbanmech (it's called Zero) becuase that's how many kills it usually gets during a game. It's not a bad package IMHO (medium pulse lasers and machine guns) but it never gets the killing blow. Other players always seem to manage to kill secure against it to the point where it's kinda funny. The best moment though was when I was one on one with a crippled, cored Dire Whale. Finally Zero was going to get that kill. Nobody on my team was anywhere near. Mwhaa ha ha ha ha! Prepare to die Clan scum! Get shot in the back by a dual gauss Jagermech from half a map away. Blerg.

I have spent about 100 games, till i figured it out - LPL + 5ML + AMS on std375, Endo, 17 DHS. At least that one worked for me.

My X5 had this problem. Changing it's name solved it.
There is no logic in this, but who cares?

I DID rename mine, to Derpmagnet.

INSTANT RECOVERY. Not even kidding, the black cloud was pierced by the blazing light of the rename and destroyed forevermore.

Rename, the voodoo cray cray juju is REAL.

ive been having piss poor runs whenever i try to use one of my new mad dogs. getting below 200 damage, in between 600+ damage ferret runs. of course these are in different elo brackets, the only heavies i am currently running are the mad dogs, and i think that after a dozen or so bad runs my elo would be low enough to get some good games in, but no, they just arent making the cut. sell all but one when mastered.

to be fair i think they really need some non-missile torso omnipods.

Stormcrows for me. If I jump in one, it's elo-hell time and I'll be expected to carry my team. Matches become uber-tough and super competitive.

Was calling it a cursed mech for over a week now. I levelled up my Prime using C-Gauss, 2 LP, 1 ER-Med, and that loadout was beastly. Currently has a 4.5-ish K/D and was loads of fun.

Heh, that's funny. I've set my EBJ-Prime up with exactly the same loadout and likewise, it's become my favourite and best performing build of all my EBJs. Lots of punch, lots of range and very heat efficient.

It is all in your mind.

If you hold onto the thought of being cursed, you will manifest that supposed curse through your own belief in the bad luck. YOU put that energy out, and receive what you sow. It is all within you to change your own perceived curse, and rid yourself of that which you have brought upon yourself through negativity and superstition.

YOU are the master of your destiny.

Firestarter ember.

See everyone else do well in it.

My curse. As soon as the match starts I can jump straight up in the air at spawn and instantly get hit by everything on the enemy directly to my ct. Every single time I have played that mech I get CTed almost from the start. can't hide cuase where ever I pop up somehere there is an enemy with 100 million autocannons is looking right at me at 200 meters. worst luck every in that mech.
