As a Huggin pilot I love big dumb assault pilots , when I am in an assault I time my shots and aim st the legs nothing cripples a light like blowing off a leg.

Also, problem locust?

Get your insecticide spray today. Now with extra pellets to guarantee a leg is destroyed!

Jesting aside, that only really helps against the SPL builds. The serious Locust is going to be hitting you with MedLas.

Yep, it's official, the Internet is over. Someone finally claimed that the most lightly armored 'Mech in the game is OP. Everything that can be seen, has been seen. We can all go home now.

So you shoot Jenners in the CT also? Nice.

I don't know, I think I've quited this game again. Yesterday's last match made me cross the line. It was match on Frozen City. Initially nothing was special about this match. But then... There was a Light there. Initially I thought, that is was Kit Fox. But all of a sudden Smurfy tells me, that neither Kit Fox, nor Added support JJs. Strange thing. What happened it this match? This match ended for me as duel Assault+Heavy vs this Light. And all, Light pilot was doing - was spamming JJs and openly pew-pewing. And, PGI refuse to admit it, but, I guess, MWO really has some gamebreaking hitreg messing JJ bug. Cuz even after losing one leg and having no armor on second leg this Light 'Mech was able to kill other Heavy 'Mech, then drill my almost fresh armor and kill me either. He simply ate several point blank SRM Alphas + several 4xLL+ 2ML Alphas. Yeah, our team lost. But even with one leg ripped he survived this match (he died, but was actually accidentally TKed by his teammate, when he was killing our last 'Mech). When I looked at scoreboard - I saw, that he managed to get 4 kills and almost 600dmg.

4 kills and almost 600 dmg just for spamming JJs and pew-pewing? Go to hell, PGI, go to hell. I won't play this game, till this nonsense won't be fixed.

Video?

[Eregion]

We don't need videos.

Is quoting the Leaderboards' data a N&S infraction?
Because if it's not, many on this Forum (and this thread) should pay attention on what they say.

Like constantly horribad pilots who shame others for how bad they are (Season 3: 68; 109; 0,62; 80; 143; 0,56; 180; 146), or a couple who say to love Lights and are killers on them, and don't even have a match in them...

I don't want a video because of this supposed uber Kitfox, I want to see what MrMadguy himself was doing.

[Eregion]

Well... you have the data... lol

[GoatHILL]

I like my Locusts but for every good game I have 10 bad ones.

Mech, that costs 1/3 of Assault 'Mech's engine, shouldn't be as viable, as Assault 'Mech.

So you say that if you are - for example - armed with a rifle you will be invulnerable to knifes because the rifle is way more expensive?

Biggest issue I have with them is when they face hug me. I can't bring weapons to bear on them and I can't kick the stuffing out of the little s_its.

This. The game needs melee if they are going to rely on other obscure mechanics like missing due to speed.

Or...you could accept that stuffing all your guns in rigid torso mounts has drawbacks to balance out the advantages.

You never saw SJR, EmP, Lord, etc. crying about Lights when the Mauler MX90 with 5x AC/5 was boss.

Huh. We have Leaderboards. When did THAT happen.

Since the Leaderboards (and the program which I wrote to pic up data), I laugh a lot more when reading the forum at work. Coworkers think I'm crazy...

[Grimvid]

I was there when it happened.

It was a sad sight.

For every locust that gets the jump on a heavier mech and has a field day against a bad pilot, another locust gets this:



Not exactly hard to hit. It really is a git-good issue.

Depends on latency and distance to target as well when you're dealing with projectiles. HSR is much less reliable when dealing with a circling locust up close with a high latency than it is for locusts further away, regardless of latency. But yes, at its core, this 'locust op' issue is a git gud thing.
