Just wondering what people's preferred playstyles are

1 Choice only, so pick the one you like the most!

[FupDup]

This is the first time I have ever seen the word "flit" (second poll option).

Also, Nevermore.

[Thirdstar]

Needs an option for Jack of All Trades. Players who like to try out all roles and who can carry out those roles with average efficiency.

[Franchi]

Jackie Chan and John Wayne brawling but you won't let me vote for both

[Tor6]

Voted support/escort for heavier units.

What about Skirmisher... midway between sniping and brawler... (doesn't always have to be fast)

Yea I limited it to one, to really push out what's a mechwarrior's most liked role. It's a bit like the other thread, where someone asked what's your most comfortable mech. Personally, I have a mech for all 6 roles there.

I don't want to add a "Jack of all Trades" because that's like the "Average" option in any poll. But I will add in a defined role that I've missed out.

[MistenTH]

Oh, Escort & Skirmisher - that's tricky. I may have to rethink that for a future poll; there's some overlap with the existing options.

[Rayah]

I support, mainly.

I have my Founders 4G set up very close to the stock variant and use him as a mobile turret for heavier friendlies.

My other mech, a Cat K2 is set up with dual PPCs and dual large lasers, I use this mech to pester enemies attacking friendlies. If a weak mech is all alone I will move in close and destroy it.

I'm building a Spider 5D(?) for close support right now.

I've never had much luck with commanding other people, I usually have a good idea of how I should play but not what the team should do. I don't really have a mech for brawling, as I tend to get torn apart very quickly. I'll scout a little bit but I usually am not in a mech that's well suited for the job.

[Pan]

Gangnam?

[TheGreatNoNo]

Im brawler support or direct fire support. I`m your wingman.

[Wintersdark]

Agility over power, generally. Never pilot anything slower than 80kph.

[Demoned]

gotta love my 4SP
still a mech people tend to ignore to their peril

[Padic]

I'm running a Cent-D these days. Fast and powerful, but sure not good for taking a hit on the chin.

[Pariah Devalis]

A little of column B and C, but as I pilot heavies I must go with C. Nothing like driving a DRG-FLM at 90 KPH, putting precise laser fire into a medium range target with surgical precision. Using my arm range and speed to outmaneuver and slice up a target before switching attack angles and doing it all over again. Moving like water along a riverbed, flowing around obstacles, yet eroding foundations.

[Ghogiel]

can't vote multiple options.

[squidvt]

I actually change rolls in the middle of a match depending on what my team needs.

[Vahnn]

Yeah, also needs an option for Tank (Atlas!)

I did John Wayne Brawling, but I consider myself to be close-medium range fire support (in my CTF-2X) for tanky mechs like the Atlas. I'm quite adept at nailing lights with ER PPC/2 MPL combo, and a double shot of SRM4 when they slow too much, overheat, or land from a jump.

[Lukoi Banacek]

I run a variety of Mechs, but my fave is an 86kph 5LL Phract....I try to stay outside of 270m at all times...what's that make me?

[yashmack]

I like to sneak up and take them from behind...

YARRR!
