while i will agree Cauldron did some good and breathed life back into a few mehs they also nerfed an entire weapon system into near uselessness (you might get it usable if you can get at least 40% boost to velocity) and made the sniper fest we have right now possible. we need to stop letting only the top 1% of players make decisions for the rest of use ( i might be sitting at T2 right now but i will always consider myself T3 at best)

Have you played 8v8 cuz snipers aren't the most potent. I'm more scared of a surprise brawl murderball than a wall mech in 8v8s.

I'm mean wall mechs aren't necessarily scary in 12v12s, but brawl is strong in 8v8.

played two matches and that was all i could take. one was 4+ assaults vs our NONE. the other was the enemy with mostly Long range weapons that tore us apart ending in a 8v4 loss (4 of them were also from the same unit so a pre-made 4 man).

Maps have been way too big since they introduced alpine , even when they bumped it up to 12v12 several maps are just too large to realistically use all of it.

My poor slow lumbering assault hate's these large maps. Guess I'll strap a bigger motor in and drop some ammo tonnage, don't needs tons of ammo if I still just want to trade my one for two of theirs.

Well, I have an update. I have found to actually enjoy 8 vs 8nfor better or worse. I can actually play some decent true brawly mechs without issue. I have also found that I can run some silly loadouts, while still doing reasonably well. I can also run bigger guns, as I don't need that much ammo. So far, it's not 100%, but it's not too bad. As someone else said, I'm more woŕied about the 7 man brawl team while there is 1 sniper on the wall. I am also noticing a bit more engadgement on comms than normal. Some maps for me in the 8 vs 8 are still a learnung curve, what did work in a 12 man, doesnt do so well in 8 man. What didnt work in 12 man, works decent in 8 man.

Have a good night, damn imma tired!!! Zzzzzz

I think quick play flows quite well in 8v8. I rarely feel the game was decided without me even being there like I often do in 12v12

[Bigbacon]

Yea, i'm not logging in and playing until this 8v8 garbage is over.

Played half a match and just Alt+F4 out of the game.

If the game ever moved permenately to 8v8 I'd never log back in again.

Having so much fun in 8v8 I can do some fun flanks without having the whole enemy team watching the entire map, and fights are real fast and the bralws are much more common now.

[Remover of Obstacles]

I think the toxic sniper meta is really its own issue (amplified by certain maps).
Although it does seem like more of a disadvantage than normal, when your teammate gets sniped from 1,200 meters away and you are looking at 7 vs 8 with a lot of map to get to brawl range.

Four mans somehow are being allowed to drop which wasn't supposed to happen. So the sweats are taking advantage and forming up faming groups to enjoy the slaughter. Meh don't care I just play to shoot stuff so in the end its all the same to me.

I love how the game improved with this one fix. Now more then ever, teamwork is op and not just sit in the back and shoot across the map, or use your team as fodder. In 8v8 it seems like you actually have to try, and with matches shorter and search time reduced I'm loving it, the fact that some people cant adapt to this one change, speaks volumes about those players more then the game. This also proves that maps have been getting to big over all for years.

It's making me stressed honestly.
I feel like i have to perform A+ ALL THE TIME. No fun builds, only stuff that will take half a mech off instantly.
No relaxation or goofing around, just 110% concentrate and tryhard as best i can.

sou nds like you shouldn't be playing this game if a small change like this stresses you out, especiallyif you can't adapt to 4 less people in your games, I'm able to easily play my fun builds with no problem during this event and had a blast doing it.

[IDGAFF]

No that 8 vs 8 is gone, I miss it!

[Drenzul]

It had it's ups and it's downs for sure!

Grow up, kid you the only one here going around saying 8v8 makes you stressed out.

Which is very pathetic, you better off not playing any game if a little change cause you to lose mental.
