I could swear it feels like that. Cant think of anything else that would explain it... It goes from being like rambo where you are almost invincible and others no matter how hard I try its pointless... You just cant get past 300-400 damage. Your mech is made of paper mache everything registers against you but nothing against the enemy. They just wont drop.

Past few matches last couple of days Ive been playing the same and my mech just melts. I play the same always nothing it different on my end feels like wtf is going on..

The only thing Ive done recently is pre ordered a piranha pack...

Maybe that is the problem: everybody else has changed how they play and you have failed to adapt.

Go play IS mechs. Heard their durability quirks are OP, according to Clammers.

What is more likely, that a game has a secret elaborate system to screw over players, or that you've made a mistake?

[Khobai]

its probably just impetus

often one team gets on a roll and starts mopping up the other team just because they applied pressure on the enemy team at the exact right place and time. if youre at the front of one of those pushes when it happens you can rack up major damage and kills while all the damage gets distributed evenly among your team.

usually it just happens by accident in quickplay. by some coincidence all the potatos align just right and it creates a sweeping momentum that wipes out the enemy team. because once one team gets down 2-3 mechs its pretty difficult to recover, it just avalanches from there.

Sometimes the mighty gods of netcode just don't like you. Happens to everyone.

I mean, some games in my MAD-3R I'm an unstoppable juggernaut, getting down to bright red in every component but surviving, and in others I just implode the instant I make contact with the enemy. I imagine it's mostly latency, positioning and/or getting outplayed hard. It happens to everybody.

Ive experiened this before, but doing a router reset seems to fix it every time. I strongly suspect its due to packet loss or some other related issue.

Hitreg has been weird lately.

I tried to 1 v 1 a stormcrow today in my Butterbee. 2 mpulses. 2 small pulseses. and 4 srm6+A.

Hit him with 3 alphas and he was barley yellow armour and then I died. sometimes the hitreg is on your side.....sometimes it is not.

Right now I seem to be in a slump. Cant get the kills I normally get.

Yeah, that too. When you have a bunch of average wins and a couple really terrible losses, even if your wins completely made up for them, it still feels as though those few bad games defined the evening.

The bad hit reg up and downs are a common phenomenon. This is different. Its like a kill me easy switch was flicked. whereas I used to have a high degree of survivability. I am literally getting insta killed like I have no Armour all the time. For example in my assasin 21 I used to be able to survive a good 15 seconds amongst the enemy team, now its like 3-4 and I go from fresh to yellow internals to dead.

As of yesterday, according to Clammers we faced, if you close to under 120m when they all are boating ATMs over and over, drop after drop, you are cheating.

So, there is that.

[arcana75]

Hitreg acting up, or it's just one of those days. Just yesterday I was getting games where I'd get killed via CT, and the rest of my mech was yellow. Today I survived a match with 20% armour left.

Could have sworn someone on the steam forums was just raving about this, because obviously being on the top 10 of the leaderboards (despite refusing to give his ingame name so we can cross examine his statments) PGI needed to nerf him yet he still does 2000 damage a QP match. Flippy that you?

Some games DO alter damage on a player-by-player, match-by-match basis. I'm reasonably confident this is not one of those games, it would be too easily noticed given at the end of the match you're always given performance details. Lag, hit reg, and time rewind can sometimes line up to bone you, though. Sometimes you just end up focused, too, because you get called out or happen to appear vital to the fight or the other player just has a grudge against your particular chassis.

There's always the flipside, too, where for whatever reason you're standing out wide in the open and it seems as though you're completely invisible.

The shutdown Huntsman who was tanking another 60+dmg from 3x2 LBX10 shots at point blank range, with his deep red CT, would tell you another story.
I also watched a teammate shooting 2 alphas on a leg. Crosshair turned red, hit animation showed, paperdoll...did nothing.
Asked him if it was just because I was spectating or if that really just happened. He told me that he saw the same, clear hit, no damage registered, 2 times in a row.

HSR, hitreg, lag, call it like you want, has always and will always be wonky.
Some matches it seems like I forgot to put any armor on my mech, and in the next match it seems like nothing can kill me.

And then there's the people with very "unstable" ping...
