Take into consideration that about 15 of these games were figuring out builds and had stuipdly low scores but current (and going up) average over 66 games going 21289 avg 322.56 per match. Anyways... will update just to be petty at this point.
That's bad.
'Ok' would be 400+ damage.
'Good' would be 500+ damage.
Aside from that, build effectiveness shouldn't be considered by just damage, but Wins/Losses, Kills/Deaths and Kills/Battle ratios too.
I freely admit I did absolute **** in my Uziel 2S with 50 battles played; 0.61 W/L, 1.06 K/D, 0.76 K/B, 309 damage/battle.
I can blame some of those low stats on bad luck with teams, but not all of it; I was playing terribly, largely because I couldn't work out any effective build, not even triple ER Large was working well.
Compare those stats to what I did in the Nova Breaker in 34 battles: 1.43 W/L, 2.67 K/D, 1.65 K/B, 473 damage/battle.
Or Hunchback IIC-B in 17 battles: 1.43 W/L, 1.64 K/D, 1.06 K/B, 461 damage/battle.
Or Blackjack BJ-2 in 36 battles: 1.57 W/L, 1.77 K/D, 1.08 K/B, 432 damage/battle.
And Crab 27B in 37 battles: 1.85 W/L, 2.93 K/D, 1.19 K/B, 441 damage/battle.
Sure, that's cherry picking comparison to good mechs, but that's the point; those stats demonstrate the difference between playing mechs with bad builds, and playing mechs with better builds.

Meh I just get mad that people blame other people or their equipment for being bad pilots. Then try to come off as an "elitist." Yawn...
And I get mad when people claim bad builds are anything other than bad.
I'm not saying you're a bad player at the game, I'm saying your build is bad, and that you'd do better with other builds or mechs.
If you want to snipe with ER Large Lasers, then Uziels with 3 energy hardpoints for triple ER Large would do better.
If you want to snipe with the 3P, then triple AC2 or UAC2 would do better.
And generally, you're better off with a non-Uziel mech, 'cause the Uziel sucks.
If you really want to be a mobile medium sniper, I recommend the Crab 27B with triple ER Large; my stats above are from running that with an XL engine. The structure quirks and profile results in a durable mech that can actually safely run an XL if you can effectively spread damage.
