When you get a higher match score than me.

Which many of you haven't been doing.

So maybe focus on your own builds and find another boogeyman to blame the loss on?

Rofl... bad build that does some damage and doesn't understand why people call it a bad build.

Hint... you have a mech with hardpoints that are perfect for SRMs + ballistics for brawling. Oh, and a bunch of armor.

But go ahead... load those lrms and wonder why your team doesn't like you.

[Xetelian]

Just because you can LRM doesn't mean you should LRM.

You can criticize my LRM roughneck when you get a higher match score than me.

Okay.





Criticism: it has LRMs on it.

[El Bandito]

As an avid LRM user, I get higher score than you per season. All I can say is, Roughneck is not built for LRM spams. RGH-1B and 1C both have no LRM quirks, and you are wasting its good durability quirks on an IDF build.

Actually getting more than 170 matchscore per season is easy for many players, so technically many of us are free to criticize you.

Damn, even I have a higher average match score.

Stop using the RGH for LRM spam, I guess?

[ANOM O MECH]

I don't really know the mech so I would first ask if it was quirked for it? Does it do it better than the Catapults do it?

If the answer is no to either of these questions it probably should be left to mechs that do it better.

I do know it. The answers to your questions are "no" and "absolutely not", respectively.

[MischiefSC]

So for those of us who are, does that mean you'll take our criticism seriously and take something better on it?

Cuz 3 LPL, 2MPLs or 1 AC20, 1 ML and 2xSRM6A are all very solid performers for me that are right about double what you're getting. And that's after only 10 matches each and without basics.

Admittedly I struggled with the mech at first but when you realize you play it like a smaller profile Atlas or KDK 3 or BLR 2C (depending on the variant) and head-poke with those mounts..... yeah. It's my best performing 65 tonner by *far*. I'll take it over a THD, or even an EBJ and I <3 both my THDs and my EBJs. I can't wait to get basics done on them, pound out elites and get double basics. It'll be awesome.

I like it a lot. It's got a different playstyle than any of the other 65 tonners; brawling or range. It's a better laser poker than the BLR (just with less firepower) and the only real poke-brawler I've ever played. The ability to vomit 51 pts on someone for less than 1/3rd of your heat bar at < 270m while only exposing like 15% of your mech? It's better at it than the Griffin, just without JJs. It's quite possibly the best poke laser mech in the game. River City, Tourmaline, Caustic, Canyon, Crimson, all the maps with almost-mech level cover? It shoots over all of it. I destroyed a Scorch on Frozen City because he could only shoot 2 ballistics at me over the cover between us and I was hitting him for 45 on his big fat butt like it was nothing.

It took me a bit to adapt to it but it's quickly become my favorite. When KCom goes IS I'll be running 4 of them. It comes in so many amazing flavors!

thats the players thats doing much damage for personel Score and no one kill to help the Team and win the Battle...what make this Player by ECM cover ? and with no massive Help from the team (Targetlocks)

[EgoSlayer]

A .57 W/L Ratio, .44 KDR, and an average match score of 153 in LRM Roughnecks is nothing to brag about...

Edited by EgoSlayer, 22 April 2017 - 09:23 PM.

[Ryllen Kriel]

No, keep that build rolling, some people likely still need a Roughneck kill for the challenge!

[Ced Riggs]

"My 250 damage/match average LRM Roughneck is solid, you guys."
- You

[snickering intensifies]

Also, since my average match score is higher than yours: Stop lurming. You are wasting a decent brawler for a sub-par weapon. You aren't doing anything worthwhile, and the damage you do is spread across too many components to be considered effective. Cut your damage by 30% and you know what you effectively dealt. Try literally any build with a STD 280 to 300, AC20, drop the armor in the arms and get brawling.

[Shiroi Tsuki]

People criticizing Roughneck LRM but they're okay with LRM Atlas/Kodiaks?

Mfw

[jjm1]

I bet you get lots of KMDs too.

That always gets me, you can chip a mechs paint away from a safe spot for ages and get a bigger reward for it than the mech that goes in and has to fast-kill two mechs to make up the slack.

[Davegt27]

OP please don't start threads about missiles

Yeah I know its your Mech
Yeah I know you did not design the game

The anti missile propaganda machine is hard to beat once they get rolling
