Executioner is another one
I have quite a few 800+ dmg matches on my Orion K recorded as well as a couple of 1000+ dmg matches on my Executioner. I suppose I could post those up in the coming weeks. I wasn't sure people would like them enough.

i can accept the Atlas.... but neither Orion nor CTF looks like doing different thing - its just the same story but with increased challenge of a worser Mech

Don't buff, nerf. Nerf best wepons to get them in line with weaker ones. Nerf > buff because TTK. If pgi will keep buffing weapons TTK wil get even shorter than what we have now.

+1
Ctf with 3x llas + gauss, orion with 3x llas + gauss... not meta? Try orion with 4mlas + ac20 + 2x srm4 with std 300 - that's non meta build.

I understand that playing in T4/5, you don't understand this but the simple fact that you put Orion and meta in the same sentence is anathema to the conceptions of the community at large, and that is what I am trying to debunk.
Furthermore please don't tell me to "try" playing anything because I could have just as easily uploaded my Orion M with 1xLBX10 3xML 2xSRM4 1xLRM10 STD300 800 damage video, but that video did not segway well into my criticism of the dominance of the Nascar tactic.
You know it gets pretty frustrating when you don't sleep all night to finish this video and the first responses you get are a bunch of armchair quarterbacks acting like they can do it better. /peace

Any mech can do a ton of damage, it doesn't mean it's a good idea to play a non meta mech if your goal is to win.

True, but I'm trying to make the point that the disparity is a lot smaller than the community believes it is. So we shouldn't sweat what is "meta" and just play the mechs we like to the best of our abilities and enjoy the diverse corral of mechs we have to choose from.
The builds I show are also ones that I've done consistently well in. If you don't believe me I can upload my numerous 700-800 damage matches with all of the mechs featured in the series so far. I once put up 1000 damage on a trial Victor, but I'm not advocating playing trial mechs because that WAS a fluke. These matches however aren't one-off matches but rather representative of the mech/build's ability.

I've been harping on about INDOCTRINATED META since I started playing 2 weeks ago,
Got SO much to say about it, and so glad someone is talking about it. Brilliant. Posting tomorrow.

I've never been a "meta guy". I've run energy boats almost exclusively (although I run other builds for fun, testing, experimenting, etc.) because that's what I like and they compliment my personal play style very well.
I was told for years "Your mech build sucks" because it wasn't meta enough. Know what happened? I accumulated positive KDRs, great stats, tons of cbills, and countered every meta that has come along over the years.
I agree completely with OP. Do not let others tell you the "best" mech, build, weapon, etc. There is no "best" in MWO, there is "best for you" and "best for roles" and such but there is no singular "best" mech or weapon or system.

I still need to buy 2 more Catapults and master them; I just might have to play that Snaggle Tooth you put up. Thanks for the idea.
