"If assuming there are the same amount of potatoes on both sides"

Are you talking about percentage wise or overall number of taters? I think it's been well established that the I.S. has more potatoes. Even if you assume the quality of the potatoes is the same, the sheer volume of potatoes is too much to overcome.

I've went 9-1 in invasion matches including a win over a 12 man Kcom team




And yes, i was the #1 Potato

At the end of the day, i'm still getting loser rewards.

I'm not sure what more i can suck up.

Well, as IS rallies, look at the score now, it's 67%. We are DEFINITELY pushing them back. The way I see it, JF house units are on adrenaline, not from overly good units, but from sheer drop rate and numbers. Normal is around 8000 to 9000 points right now. Thus, the 3 lead IS houses are cancelling out the 3 bottom Clans. What we need, is for the bottom 3 houses to do more, do their part to equate that of Falcon. And yes, I am talking to you, Rasalhague, Kurita, and Davion.

If your unit is in those 3 houses, you guys need to drop more or get more organized.

Rsalhague can go to FRR Hub.
Davion, check the HHOD resource.
and Kurita... NS, COMA, and 42 should not be combining for just 4500 as the bottom of the houses. You guys are way too good. If you are a Kurita pilot, seek resources from those 3 units.

We just got about 5000 points to make up. (JF is about 21000, those 3 combine for about 16000) . Meaning, if you guys can split for just 1500 more, then we got the Clanners beat. This is doable. This is not impossible.

SO seems to be making a resurgence. I don't know if Theaus is back, but I love to see the old SO that can drop 18 out of 24 hours and win almost every drop. Let's keep this momentum going guys, you all know your part. IS CAN WIN THIS!!!

Or, you know, this connection issue is ******* everyone up.

Heh trashcan brigade and a garbage truck. I'm tempted.... I really am.

My W/L ratio for FP and QP is about similar however I found difficulty holding my own as a Clan loyalist.

Right, cause you know... the connection problem ONLY f-up Clan pilots. Poor Clan pilots, delusional much?

No matter what the OP said, i have never won a game in non-scout mode FP teaming with PUG

I'm glad this Tukayyid is happening. It's destroying any hope PGI ever had of making this game an esport.

It's simple:

Stop. Bringing. F*cking. Bracket-builds.

There are plenty of giga-quirked 'Mechs and naturally decent 'Mechs to make up the difference right now, enough to be competitive. Bring those. Battlemasters, Marauders, Warhammers, Catapults, Grasshoppers, Dragons, Orions (lol), Roughnecks, Thunderbolts, Riflemen, Blackjacks, Trebuchets, Griffins, Shadowhawks, Hunchbacks, and even Enforcers all have variants with god-level quirks and/or geometry that, when built properly, can put the pins to the Clans to such a degree that the tech won't matter 9 times out of 10, if even that.

But no. People want their LRM bracket-build ********. It is literally the same sh*t every CW event, which is why I'm sitting it out. You can lead a horse to water, etc.

i'm sorry, can you show me how many people bring completely garbage lrm only builds or are you talking out of your mech's rear?

Nonsense.

An esport can't be viable if it has hundreds of potential competitive entries; which is what MWO could potentially be afflicted with. PGI needs to reduce viability to just a handful of mechs so that the the casual observer can follow the action on the level of "oh I like the red one; I hope he wins". By ensuring that only a handful of mechs (albeit mostly clans though not all) are indeed competitive, PGI is laying the groundwork for establishing a cadre of a select few mechs that will be useful for their e-sport future, and thus ensuring that "fans" can follow the exciting "peek and poke" action of the half dozen or so truly "competitive" mechs. By eliminating most IS mechs from contention they are making this process easier for themselve, and their presumed future fans of their "e-sport"

[The6thMessenger]

Other people play to win, some play to have fun.

Remember, there are people who just spam Gauss PPC for the win, then there's me just enjoying the Urbanmech (which is not meta), others even bring Dragon despite meta leaving it behind. Just have fun, nobody is forcing you to play. That does not mean just go leeeroy jenkiiins, still cooperate with the team however, cause that's how FW is intended. You don't have to win, you just need to have a good time, else stop playing the game right now.

Hell, i would have gone with an entire dropdeck of urbanmechs, lets see how far my skills can take me.

UM-R60L Laser Vomit - (LPL + 3x ML + AMS, XL180)
UM-R60L Skirmisher - (AC5 + 4x ML, XL170, 2 JJ)
UM-R63 Dakka - 2x ML + UAC5 [90], XL170
UM-R60 Laser Sniper - 2x LL + 4x MG [3000], XL180, 2 JJ

But sadly i'm a wolfie.

Hmm.
Gracious winners.... or smug gloating?
Good sportsmanship.... or people who pull the wings off flies?
Respect for opponents at a disadvantage, or just laughing cruelly as you torture and grind your enemies down?

I personally like the high road, the air is cleaner. You can choose your own path.

What? No, you can't. You have to take the high road.

Can you show me where I said "LRM-only" builds? I do believe I said "LRM bracket bullsh*t builds." That means anything that isn't a boat and specialized for a specific range, AKA bad builds. They usually involve LRMs.

I came from this horsesh*t earlier today. By the admission of some players in the match, they brought LRMs. I'll let you guess which ones they were:



If you aren't at least building the chassis you choose to conform to the meta, you have no business playing in FW, especially not as an Inner Sphere pilot. You do not have that luxury.

On Tourmaline playing Domination... that had nothing to do with "LRMs" and every thing to do with them being incompetent. Considering you did not die that fast which by the end screen it shows you did not then +2000 damage would be around where I would expect to be.

[Tripzter]

Seriously at this point the only good thing PGI can do is get rid of this clan vs IS and make it so you can use whatever mech you want.

Bad for roleplay yes but only solution for pgis "balance" tactics.

that way everyone can play Clam... I would be fine splitting CW into Clan-Reaving War & IS-FedCom Civil War. See how many of those unber clanners keep playing when they have to play equally and not farm inferior robots... bet you Clam server dies and everyone is smashing each other on the IS one while the Clamtards go to Group or Solo Queue where they can still use their OP Clan Mechs against IS mechs on occasion.

Oh, that's certainly part of it; lots of firing into the mountain was seen. Also huddling way too close to the enemy line and trying to poke with LRMs against Gauss+ERPPC. Even with Radar Sweep cutting through ECM, they couldn't find their own arses. I guarantee if they had been using blue-beams and ballistics, even SRMs, like those of us who held our own, they would have come away with better scores and been more effective against the enemy because it is simply easier to do even with poor positioning. If you know how to LRM, power to you; there were several Clan LRM boats doing work (shooting UAVs is hard!). Most people are even less capable with LRMs than laser burns.

And then there's the Leeroy patrol...

I'm just here to say .... Oh look, another Clanner claiming everything is balanced while hiding behind he's meta builds

Are you referring to me? See how I am Liao?
-------------------

Anyways, shout out to HHOD, just dropped 3 drops with them, all wins (including one impressive one against CJBM). If you are looking to boost Davion Rank, definitely form out and seek them out. They are a bunch of great guys.
