I never saw something like this and it was 10x more impressive for me than all the Damage-Dealer-Pro-Player together. You did 3,5 k damage? Nice, but this Raven-Pilot is a damn hero!
You see...you can do everything in this game if you just want to
I mean...sure, that's great. Especially if your team can take advantage of all the work the guy put into NARCing everyone. I haven't NARCed much myself, but I remember having games where I went NARC-raving mad and then realized everyone was using direct fire builds.
I found NARC to be such a heavy launcher with the ammo having so few reloads that the severe sacrifice you have to make to take it on a Light mech is questionable. Why not take a pure damage build instead? I suppose there are arguments for and against, but I honestly don't know if I'd purposely take a Light with NARC unless I'm dropping as part of a group built around it (and I drop solo in QP 99% of the time...so....)
Then you look over at the PIR pilot with 5 or 6 kills...

Why suffer running a hardpoint starved, 'large' or slow light when you can run a PIR or some other meta chassis instead?
^This
I'll even extend this to the Vulcan release, at 40 tons. It looks cool, but why buy it? It looks like overall it will have more ballistic hardpoints than the Assassin...but the max is what, 4? I can get that on a bunch of IS Light mechs already, and 4 just doesn't seem that impressive anymore. 8+ on a few variants and I would buy that in a heartbeat, quirks unseen. A 40t IS mech with 8+ ballistics and a bit more weight to take mass IS machine guns? Delicious...almost Chicken and Waffles levels of flavor . But no...I feel like it's going to be another "meh" mech release.
I'm actually sad that I might buy a Vulcan pack only to end up playing a MLG variant instead...and why that doesn't seem to bother PGI is a mystery to me. I'm not stingy with my monies, but I literally don't know
WHY I'd want to buy a Vulcan pack, besides "it looks cool".
