I love my orions, but man... played the VA with streaks, back when they were good but today I can't find a good role for it. Nice score

try it with an ac10 and 4xSRM4. I run a 340xl, live a little dangerous, but the speed to disengage is part of what keeps me able to perform. Tried it with a 300std, and found my survivabilty went down, because I couldn't control the engagement.

Still my highest match damage (1300) was done in this mech, and highest total kills (9), though in different match

Freaking hate the SRM hitreg. Sometimes the SRM god is with me, other times not. I curse SRMs when they dont want to reg!

I like Streaks, but what do i know, i play with terribad weapons, lol.

I'm only at Tier 3. Yet only 366 people scored better than me during the contest. Methinks I might be in the wrong tier. Sorry for all the poundings Underhive.

Top end of Tier 3. I blame the tourney and my complete lack of patience for not being in the bottom tier 2 like I had guessed.

tried it, didn't work, got focused down everytime I closed in. 2 LPL and AC10 at least got me back to 1.0 kdr with it. It is just too squishy to brawl, too many high alpha tryhards. at least, now i know who to avoid in my matches.

So the old rule, when in doubt, add more LPL worked for me

340xl is not meant for brawling..hit and run, then do it all again.

[Chados]

Low 5 here Expected that, frankly. Not a bad deal.

[Steinar Bergstol]

Tier 4? Hrmm... Shovels out, lads! We're heading down and we're not stopping until we see the underside of Tier 5!

[ScreamingSkull]

Tier 3. A little higher than I thought I would be.

[Danghen Woolf]

WOOT, haha, Tier 5 BABY!!!

[Invidious Squid]

Middle of Tier 4. Now I feel less bad about screaming, "WHY AREN'T YOU PUSHING THEY ARE SURROUNDING US AND YOU ARE ALL GOING TO DIE NOW!" at my screen so often.

Your performance in the leaderboard is heavily dependent on who your opponents are. It's much easier to get a higher match score against worse opponents. You doing well may be indicative that your tier should be a bit higher, but it doesn't mean only 366 people were doing better than you.

It's been a problem with these leaderboard events from the beginning. A good player with a low elo/tier account wrecks it compared to others.

[generalazure]

Low tier 2, will probably fall to 3 soon if I keep the 6 mg build on my jager (totally worth it though)

Phew. Good thing I didn't take all that mech building advice you were trying to give me.

Just curious.....Marrow Sample for Leukemia test? Been there done that. Not fun.

Yes, i had leukemia, just prior to October last year, almost died, was in a coma for a week, my family were told it was unlikely i'd make it out the other end.
Freakiest experience of my life, but us Mechwarriors are made of tougher stuff.

Called my wife to have her patch and log in for me. Got the text back, T2. Sounds about right.
