Except that meta game means something different than most of you think it does.
These are standardized terms, not some excentric rage from me.

You are NOT "evolving" or coining new terms. What you do is like taking the word "table" and say "when we say table, we actually mean car with it. And F everyone else who wants to use it for its actual meaning."

From the article you've linked:

Quote

Another game-related use of Metagaming refers to operating on knowledge of the current strategic trends within a game. This usage is common in games that have large, organized play systems or tournament circuits and which feature customized decks of cards, sets of miniatures or other playing pieces for each player. Some examples of this kind of environment are tournament scenes for card games like Magic: The Gathering, or tabletop war-gaming such as Warhammer 40,000 or Flames of War.

Such metagaming could include compiling lists of what race or army choices are being used in a specific region or tournament scene, and tailoring your own army to fight the majority units, for example, knowing that Space Marine variant armies are the largest group of potential opponents, and modifying your own army with equipment which counters the strength of that majority force, or preys upon that majority group's weakness. By doing so, the player is metagaming, as they are attempting to improve their chances for victory by using information outside what will actually take place in a match.

You are a meta pain-in-the-a$$

2 years later and game is still bad.

I've seen so many of these -- including the time this was originally made...

Know what's sad? I still don't know what movie it's from, and damn do I want to watch it because his performance is so good. Acting these days is more about blowing **** up or sob stories. This... is classic.

Downfall. Torrent it.

And yes. **** those ******* poptarts. It was thanks to their ******* play style, that my brawling Victors got nerfed to hell for so long.

How many times do we have to tell you that your interpretation of the definition is wrong..

I actually like the poptart meta. Once brawler got into range, it was feeding time!

I did too.

Also look at Caustic for the first half... Look at it for the later half, and now look at Caustic.
What version is cooler in terms of colors?

Did you try the vics now? I took my 9S for a ride and got 3 kills and 600+ dmg in 3 matches in a row.

Nope. Whenever I want to bring AC20 Assault now, I bring the Atlas. The power creep had left Victors in the dust, ever since Clan invasion. Now if the JJs are fixed in a way that it can be good without getting exploited to hell by poptarts...

While they are not the ballerina on the field anymore, I still somehow do exceptionally well in them. Its my 3rd best mech in terms of average damage per mech (a chip away from 500).

Victors do have high agility quirks, they got a bit better with the last patch. Other than that, they are still pretty bad.

If you don't mind me asking, what loadouts do you run on your Victors?
