300 mc is a poor reward for the ulcer inducing levels of coordination required just to get a comp game.

I've been in five teams so far this year, each of which were competent players who play almost every day.
I've been playing (according to stream info) an average of 10hours a day this past month.
I've not been able to get a single comp game...

Have you only been searching for matches in AP prime time? Unfortunately there is only one AP team currently playing and they don't usually play during their nights.

There have, however, been hundreds of games played in the comp queue overall so far. Every Thursday and Saturday in EU and NA prime times there have been multiple comp matches played. So it is surprising you have been unable to play a single match.

Less about the quirks and more about how badly they messed with the agility #s and ignored the lore of the mechs in order to sell new mech packs. Most people who pre-ordered the kodiak did so thinking they'd arrive with absolutely no quirks at all. Same as the IIC mechs had previously.

Its no shock I bought all 7 kodiaks with early adopter rewards, and yes the Kodiaks lived up to the (lore) hype originally imo.
I recall Kodiaks got a big nerf a month or two after dropping into game? (guess that could've been another mech?)
Anyways when full cbill refund on modules was reneged ~ Dec 2016 I took a break till skill tree replaced modules in 2017.

Before this week I've only ran 3 of them in maybe a couple dozen matches total since Dec 2016. This week I saw most kodiaks have 0 SP but HSP +HXP so dusted off skilled up KDK-1 and did a few QP matches. That x4 C-ER PPC was never a cool build, but I'm positive its a hotter, slower build now.
So for me yes some quirks are merely annoying, but that engine desync is a big pita.

What exactly is racist in a damn Koala joke? holy ****... Anyway...
There's no KDK in the list! it just shows how nerfed to hell it was!
I don't like comp (1vs1) too much presure, I like more people, maybe I get a bad team but at least they distract the enemy.

The Kodiak was never competitive anyways. Even with the ridiculous amount of firepower the thing was capable of bearing, it's still got the same problem as the later Annihilator, being a massive barn door of a target. KDK-3 just became popular with everyone due to being RIDICULOUSLY overtuned (and the fact that Kodiaks had the agility of mediums at the time also helped).

Fact is, Kodiaks didn't get nerfed. They just remembered they were Assault Mechs.

Funnily enough, the EXECUTIONER is actually the Clan Assault that's supposed to handle like a Medium, hence the joke from canon: "What weighs 95 tons, can run almost 100 kilometers per hour, can jump 120 meters, and carries a Gauss Rifle?" "I don't know, but I'm getting the hell out of here."

I forgot where to look, but what needs to be done for Lance in Formation ?

oh,just found this,, Lance Formation is a reward for all existing lance mates remaining within a distance of 140 meters to each other and are all engaged. The reward reoccurs every 15 seconds, if not interrupted

if that is true, then I have not been getting credit for lance in Formation

And again 100 components with 3000 damage. 30 damage per component destroyed is a tough average.

Unfortunately you tend to show up way too late, like over an hour after the last comp matches have ended.

Show up this Saturday starting around 19:00 - 20:00 UTC, and you will see hours of comp matches.

All clans mechs needs better armor quirks and as well cool down on weapons and rework the inner sphere mechs on Quirks

[Prototelis]

(most) Clan mechs are fine.

[Monkey Lover]

Nerf clan mechs more until IS is the only choice! Let go full circle before the game shuts down.

LOL... stop using crappy mech builds... the warhammer IIC-A with twin LB10s, triple streak-6s is a devastatingly effective way to rack up a LOT of damage and kills and components. I had four 7-kill, 900+ match score, 1400+ dmg, 12+ component matches with it yesterday out of a dozen quick play solo queue matches played. In my last 20 matches with it I've averaged 765 damage per match, 40 kills and 14 deaths. 100 components destroyed comes along pretty quickly with proper builds for blowing them off. I'm already past 200 components destroyed since the koalified event began.

[Red Potato Standing By]

It is nice that it is so easy for someone as skilled as yourself, but unfortunately for us lower skilled potatoes it always isn’t quite as easy even with good builds. That being said personally I don’t mind the way the challenges have been set up, on the most part I can complete them and if I don’t complete them meh I would be playing anyways. Basically what I am saying is just because you find it easy doesn’t mean everyone else’s experience is the same.

And then you proceed to post a crappy mech build.

All you seem to run is some derivative or SSRM. Engaging gameplay.
