And SirSmokes scores 800dmg his Orion, or as you put it "3D Chess". If you're gonna call stats put your name (all three) out there and own it.
I keep bringing up "3d chess" in reference to a thread where he referred to a streak cyclops as "3d chess," challenged me to a duel in Solaris.
You're free to jarls this account and see how I play.

So why is it you don't QP on your main account and instead use a psuedoname?
Because I don't actually get to practice, and it's a much lazier and more efficient way of using the available tools to evaluate my performance in different mechs.

You shouldn't be worried if people call you out, or take you out, part of the fun is the grudges we form and the random salutes to recognised names.
I am not worried about being dove on. lol.
But I don't get a typical play experience, nor one that is congruent to the level of focus I would receive in competitive play.
I am not the only person that practices comp on an un-revealed alternate account.

If you feel you're going to catch too much heat for what you say on the forums then maybe you should consider toning down your words.
You're under the mistaken impression that I care about being dove on. I think it's hilarious. On occasion it allows me to squirrel away entire lances and secure a win because I live in certain pilot's heads rent free. Sometimes I get my brakes beat, and have to evaluate why I allowed it to happen. Those are useful for training, but not the only kind of training I do.
But no, I generally don't enjoy QP because of faster matches, the matchmaking, and the general strategies employed.
It's also useful to seperate myself from attention I wouldn't normally receive in order to actually evaluate my baseline skill at a certain mech/playstyle/weapon system.
