How do you think about nascaring? Do you like it?
Edit:
let me show you screens with certain moments that you´ve all seen before
First off: Frozen City. Your assault lance starts on D3. You see the situation and ask the rest of your team to support the assaults. Meet at C3, because you already know what the enemy will do.
Your team ignores the assault lance in their furious nascar-race to C5.
You have the following situation:
The enemy went to C3 in the meanwhile. WIth all three lances. They peak over the ridge, see some abandoned assault mechs and prepare the push. Your assault lance is down in no time, while the rest of your team is waiting for the bus on C5 / B4. The enemy mechs are weakened but not in a huge manner. 4 vs 12 is hard even in assaults.
It´s 8 vs 12 now and the enemy is closer to our base than your team to theirs.
= Loss in 80%
Let´s take a look at mining collective.
Your team again ignores the assault lance. Or they just don´t care. Most important for the nascarers: We have to get to the middle of the map as fast as possible.
So your assaults manage to get to your own base and can´t go any further without being under fire from two enemy lances:
Your teammates at B3 / C3 start knitting and talking about their recent adventures in the local barber shop, while the assaults on D5 are taken out by two enemy light/medium/heavy lances.
Your own team is still knitting. Sometimes you can read a "enemy spotted at..." but no further reactions to that. They start moving towards the center or moving a little more towards the enemy base.
Again it´s 8 vs 12:
In the meantime the enemy has the following advantages:
- a complete assault/heavy lance untouched, having four mechs more overall
- shorter way for all their lances to our base
- your own team might be splittet and ready to die
I don´t know any reasons why to act like this. Are you afraid of taking damage and a having scratched paintjob? In your opinion others should do the work. You ignore basecaps, ignore enemy spottings, you even don´t think tactically.
Due to the recent event I played all four mechclasses. Every match I tried to attention the team to support our assault mechs. Sometimes it worked and I also got some nice friendly words from the assault pilots. And guess what? We won! We won every single time we played together as a team.
Nascarers don´t care whether you offer a plan or not. They just run brainlessly. It´s no "tactic" at all. Nascar only works, if the assault lance is in front and you´re moving together. If you leave your fatties behind you can prepare yourselves for a loss.
I´m Tier2, so I´m matched with T1 and T3 players. Four out of five matches are a nascar race.
Here is a nice graphic from Mr Winter, which nails it:
