A lance of MRR happened to drop with pugs against 12-man team of SWOL in CW. Too bad, so sad, right? Not so fast. Thanks in part to some unorthodox tactics using LRMs and Norm's Commando, we managed to defeat them in Counter-Attack mode. Here is how it happened. Enjoy.

Actually this happens all the time nowadays. No big deal. Clans have simply been nerfed to pieces and can hardly put up a fight any more, except their most elite pilots.

Just a few days ago we steamrolled a 12-man team with 5 Skye Rangers and a halfdozen pugs.

Did you watch the video? I don't think LRM gen sniping happens all the time.

Has nothing to do with balance. Just with the quality of the premade involved.

Cool video. Enjoyed the soundtrack, too. I wish Norm had a drop deck of 4 Commando 2D's though.

I wish that too. Unfortunately it is not possible due to minimum drop deck value.

Yeah, not to cheapen your victory or anything but those are basically 3/4 brand new members to the unit. Only a few of them have fully outfitted drop decks and most do not have modules. Almost 70% of our veteran population is in IS now killing the falcon.

Good win of course but if you would like a challenge plz consider flipping to clan and then quo up against one of our MRBC teams.

SWOL is a unit that has a lot of newer players in their unit, that makes it hard to determine before who you are playing...

Have played against BlueDuck and his new team and played their comp teams big difference

But it is a good achievement to beat a 12 man with an almost full pug team

[Dirt6]

Very nice achievement yes, gg on your part. o7

As I say though, if you'd like a challenge from our outfitted guys you'll need to fight FRR as that is where we rotated to for now at least.

[Headfirst]

Just have to say, this was amazing. Watch the video!

I was the one whining and complaining at the beginning that we had no chance. Was I ever wrong! In fact, I had such a great time with the MRR guys that I joined up immediately after this battle.

Well done, everyone involved!

Not even close. They still have the best weapons with the top stats in the game but they don't even use them. They're still stuck in the mind set of long range laser vomit. As you can see it doesn't work out to good on the hottest cw map.

Because people still think laservomit is the way to go
But an IS unit can just steamroll them down if all clans bring is lasers

The combined stopping power of U-AC10's shouldn't be underestimated, and thx to lighter clan tech you can pack some backup lasers that still do a better job than IS ones

Also Gaus is still awesome

Sad day for the clans, they've been nerfed so bad they're getting pugstomped. Granted that SWOL unit was raw with many new players and some in trial mechs but since most IS units still say Clan is OP this proves them wrong.

Good post lets hope PGI takes notice to balance out the clan mechs.

Defeating SWOL is like defeating Poland.

A unit defeating SWOL should not be the basis of proving balance or in-balance.

Most have stopped saying the Clan mechs are OP anymore. They are very close to be balanced.

[Celtic Warrior IS]

If clan mechs are so balanced why is everyone jumping to IS? I understand that all the IS loyalists are going to say otherwise but it does not make the game better when one side has clear advantages.

[Pat Kell]

Not everyone is jumping to the IS....clearly you are mistaken.

[Alienized]

most unit are just jumping to IS for proving PGI that their balancing fails. then clans get buffed again or IS nerfed and what happens? yes all of them go back to clan side again.
they just want to get their overpoweredness back.

That's over analysing things. The main reason most of the big and comp units went IS is simply because IS mechs are better right now. These teams take the easiest path to victory.

Always have, always will.
