He has nearly 5,000 games. He is not a "new" player. He is just kicking puppies after finally discovering people in his tier don't understand ECM gauss.

I do better with mid-range than with sniper builds. Everyone does as well. Snipers aren't anything special in the current meta.

Dont tell anyone here that...

They've been harping on snipers *existing* since the cauldron took over and changed up the Lowreybalance so you could run things other than medium pulse lasers.

The Gauss ERLL NTG is good, so why are you still in T4, OP?

I'm pretty sure that badge was T3 ~10 hours ago, so looks like he got slapped back to T4.

Yet your this months stats show that you are playing worst since July '22.
Your heavy mech stats show that you are doing even worse...
I call this thread BS.

He has an issue.
IS stuff frankly, in my experience is plain better. Play to it;'s strengths and you'll do very well.

you're at T4 playing with a Gauss ERLL ECM sniper against likely kitchen sink and bracket builds and LRMs, you're effectively kicking puppies, are you expecting applause

the quad BLC stalker was obscene and deserved the nerfbat

Did someone steal your birthday? Be nice.NTG 2LL 2xgauss is a great build, I'm always surprised by my damage numbers in that thing..Throw on HAGs instead of gauss and it gets even better.

You are T5, I guarantee you aren't seeing the worst of it. Knowing your loadout prefs you're effectively trying to drive nails with a socket wrench.

Nova's an experienced pilot, he knows of what he speaks. Folks who drop in groups regularly see a lot different play than their tier might otherwise suggest.

I've been up and down the tiers over the years my friend.
I play for fun.

Thanks for linking to Jarls. Now i get even more of a feeling that i am most of the time ... not that good ^^
Or that i should stop playing around with loadouts ... or mechs i normally avoid (light and medium) ... or that getting the kill counts more than the sometimes 800+ dmg done before going down without a kill ^^

What matters is you having fun doing your best for your team to win. If that means doing good in measured stats, go for it . If it means piloting Chassis/Loadouts you enjoy piloting even though you dont do too good in them - do that . You can even go so far and do both .

Say bout NTG - 2GAUSS 2 LL ECM - This is the easiest 600+ damage. Because my goal can't do ANYTHING. They don't even always see me when I look at them point-blank because of the ECM.
It's like I'm beating children.

And in the end I have almost full armor and still have a few rounds left to fire.
Despite the fact that this assembly has jump jets and they actually work, unlike the garbage of the inner sphere, which is constantly deficient in the number of ammo, XL engines, and the like.


I realized that the entire game I had played before, all those annoying open and boring maps and the “balance” of all the weapons in the game, was simply made for a style of play so that specifically a few sniper builds would feel comfortable.

By the way, one of the few opponents who could resist was a stalker with large lasers. And guess what? I'm talking about the recent nerf to the 4BLK stalker. They didn’t give this build even a month before they immediately nerfed it, although many write that it was a fairly optimal build at that time.

They gave it like 3 months, though?

Beside the point. I see your tier far more often than he does and I can tell because I practically never see him or others I know are T5. LR suppression is absurdly prevalent and much more effectively applied in tandem with teammates the further up one sees (especially if you get that godforsaken depressing gray shithole HPG). He also plays a lot of LRMs which aside from usually being bad choices in general are hilariously unsuited to dealing with the blue flashlights he mentions.

I also don't like him or his drawl. I've never had a human voice set off misophonia before his (that wasn't a screaming two-year-old in a supermarket anyway)

I really feel sorry for you now.
But I glad to have that effect on you

How good you are doesn't matter. If you're enjoying your playstyle, then go nuts with whatever you want.

If you want to play effectively... then consider if you could make some changes to get better. A good starting point is the grimmechs database - https://grimmechs.is...im.org/Database . Find a build for your mechs that suits your playstyle and refine what you're doing a bit if you want to be a more effective player.

1. I really don't care how sorry you feel for whom. I still remember you mouthing off after the KFX decided to walk in front of 3 snubs to try and jump in on whatever I was shooting at coming up the Tourm Death Valley Ramp. Take a hike.
2. And on that note this is why mute exists. Now if it would stop forgetting I have people muted.

I suggest you 2 take a room somewhere and make it out between yourselves ? Forums don't need to be privy to your romance .

Play with the 'Mechs that you like and with the loadouts that you like.
