Its strange that IS was able to push scouting to max but can't make any progress in invasion.

[Ryllen Kriel]

Such an advantage too, because we got to see exactly how many Kodak 3s, Timberwolves and Night Gyrs with Gauss PPCs we already knew we were going to face.

[El Bandito]

Scouting is easier for IS than Invasion. Less pugs to mess up the calls, no more Stormcrows, and Locust spamming gets intel very easily.

Advantages gained yes, but Clanners are still winning the fight.

Actually... how is this even happening? Clans have the SPL Nova, which is easily the best medium brawler in the game right now. Are they just not using it? Even if they want to splat they have the Huntsman, which is about on par with the Griffin.

because pugs are pugging and probbly slap streaks on novas.

really dunno ^^

I noticed this when me my unit did some scouting IS all of sudden beat the clans in scouting from 70% all the way to 90% to their side, then we drop a few got it 90% in clan. Kinda weird imo, but eh.

[Ced Riggs]

It is happening because Clanners win their 8 scout matches quickly, and then go to Invasion.

Played 8 scouts, won 8 scouts. In the first hours, Clan scouting was 90%++.

Now it's Invasion from here on out, because why would we even scout anymore? Even with UAV/ECM/Artillery, IS usually keels over because scaredy-foot pubs don't understand that they cannot beat Clans at the range game.

TBF, IS can't beat Clan in brawls either.

IS can beat Clans in a brawl....

Provided the Clans are built for long-range.
Or maybe are AFK.

[Scyther]

Because it doesn't take a very large tech imbalance to turn a potentially fair fight into a series of stomps.

yeha but scoutting isn't skirmish, so if IS would play scouting and not skirmish they could win a lot more often.

There is a mystery here?
Clans can't bring Kodiaks, MadIIcs, Night Gyrs, etc. into scouting.

[razenWing]

IS is only loosing because some houses are not pulling their weight. As soon as EViL and hosue Steiner actually started playing, the meter will shift again. Don't worry Clan dogs, we are coming back!

(PS Nice try Clanners, you guys moved the meter to 50% scouting, but we obliterated you guys to bring it back to 90. MUHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA #MakeISGreatAgain)

Probably because Clanners stopped scouting after getting the rewards and moved right to invasion to max that out.

When I was scouting with my 4 man unit I came across this one Kurita 4 man. All of them boated streak SRM2s and tag and chainfired only, including a single commando. After my team of dual LBX20 Hunchback IICs and Novas absolutely crushed them they spent the rest of the match whining about how Clans are overpowered.

We simply told them to bring Griffin 2ns with quad ASRM6 built to brawl and that this is the reason people don't always take IS whining seriously.

Seriously though, what were they hoping to accomplish? I'd almost like to do IS vs IS and Clan vs Clan just to crush people without them whining that some faction is OP.

[Tordin]

IS struggles, no doubt. I felt did okay yesterday, but golly we need some serious reinforcements from around the world fueled with coffee/ energi drinks and pure loyal focus intensity 24/7 to win this!

I welcome ST, plain slate, new start. We see how unbalanced IS especially are judging by the last PTS and how much each mech chassis IS/ Clan need to be buffed/nerfed. PGI need to up the ante to give individual mech chassi (yes even those clan chassi that struggles) a reasonable boost in percentage in the various trees.

If we do 100% well in scouting you should see us with 100 tons each

Hey A.Y! Met you last match, was fun even though that match on Borealis went like this

On Scouting, IS can feasibly beat Clans half the time. What I meant was in Siege mode Clans brawl better than IS.
