I love other players telling me how "bad" my mech is lol

I think one of the biggest mistakes I see newer or inexperienced players make is not understanding the whole "role warfare" ideology (well aside from not paying enough attention to the mini map that is)

That's largely because they're used to playing "team" games that don't really punish people for running off and going rambo. Getting someone to break that mindset without them turning belligerent or whiny is not exactly easy.

Commando. Alternatively, Trenchbucket. Maybe Victor?

Thanks for the input. :) I can do all three. I might do the Trebuchet first though since that mech is all but extinct, and frankly I think it's one of the best looking mechs.

Even an Ice Ferret can pull some damage if its completely ignored in a match. Doesn't mean you've 'broken' the meta.

I agree that even a blind squirrel eventually finds a nut, and that 'Meta' is defined as the most universally successful, used and reliable builds. However he's not entirely wrong if the builds being portrayed prove to be adequate in such a generalized usage as any Meta build.

I'd like to request a classic mech video featuring a great match with Marauder (gauss build prefered) or Rifleman.

I did some good 600+ damage games with mine but nothing too crazy. I'd like to see better! But no ACs on the Marauder.

Another request would be a showcase of an old timer like Victor or Shadow Hawk. Can these mechs still pull their weight?

I don't own the Rifleman unfortunately, but I did already do 3 Marauder videos when it first came out.

MAD-3R w/ 2xPPC 2xML AC5 and UAC5:
MAD-BH w/ 1xGauss 2xLL 5xML:
MAD-5D w/ 3xLL 2xML 2xLRM15:


Believe it or not I've actually put up 1000 dmg on the Trial Victor before and just shy of 1000 dmg with the mech once I bought it and built it as a brawler. I think I still have the videos somewhere... anyway hope you enjoyed the Marauder videos!

Oh believe me they don't go unnoticed. I know to focus you in that thing when I see you on the battlefield.

I think I'm the only one I know that takes them out even semi-regularly.

Only so many times you can get away with calling people n****** and f****** over in-game VOIP.

Kristian, I would work towards getting rid of that alt account you made just to post, but since you made it apparently to clarify why the series is over, it can stay.

But be warned, if it continues posting, going to have to put it down.

In all likelihood the Breaking the Meta Series is over. For those that are curious why:





Thanks to everyone that supported my channel.


OK, yeah, watching that video, that is honestly my biggest issue with PVP anymore, its less the game and alot more the players and community, its the primary and going away reason I quit WoT, its a leading contributor to why I quit Planetside 2 and its why in AW I dont PVP, I strictly PVE.

Im tired of the ******** PVP,Epeen community ********. I think alot of people are honestly in that same boat, its why in AW, PVP is a dying breed and the Qs are empty. Its like PVE or bust.

I literally have 0 patience, either in RL or in game, for wanton trolling or ********.
