Now while it's ususally been a priority to find and kill the guy racking up the kills on the scoreboard, After this last patch it's different.. How u may ask?

well some chatter over a recently intercepted com freq. may shed some light on it.

Lance2Leader killed by PPCStalkerGuy

LanceLeaderGuy <team> To thier BASE, Full throttle... GET THAT STIENER!!!!

Yep With the new scoreboard gone are the days of focusing on that monster rampaging around with 4 kills.. There is always a more important target when theres a STIENER around..

Thank you PGI what would we be able to do without you guys.. We wouldnt be able to properly prioritize our targets without this new scorebaord.

For your wonderful efforts in interstellar love I give you guys this rianbow sticker.

I believe the script was sanitized and cleaned up.

The original was something like this:

Cool story bro.

So, I guess you say the problem is now everyone is gonna rush to get the Steiner?

Sweet! Our Assault mechs are a little slow, so that'll make killing you a lot more efficient, and you know how much us SpaceKrauts love efficiency!

[fil5000]

Wait, you were choosing targets based on who had the most kills?

Stiener, marik, etc.. insert whatever faction u hate.. but yea i'm guessin that is the point of the new scoreboard.. forget the guy with 5 kills we've got a <insert hated faction> to kill.

Standing right beside you brother. Ready to form a Steiner scouting party when you are!

[SI The Joker]

Kill counters are so OP.

[Mao of DC]

I too miss the kill counter.

[pcunite]

I do miss the kill counter. When pugging and up against cheese builds, the only way to organize pugs is to point out that we need to focus fire on the "Beta" AC/20 cat, or the SRM Stalker, or whatever is the latest game balance in the trash mech of today. Currenly they operate without being noticed. It might be more realistic to not know I suppose.

[Runenstahl]

While I DO miss the kill counter too I NEVER had the opportunity to choose my targets according to it. Makes no sense in the first place... most of the time you shoot at what you see. You don't ignore enemies near you and go searching for the guy with the most kills (at least I certainly didn't).

In those cases where you have several targets to choose from it's wisest to attack the one with the most damage / the one that's getting attacked by the rest of the team.

Please slow down to 40kph, so i can catch up too, then we can accelerate again to full scouting speed of 53kph.

Still waiting of Mech #20. Hopefully it is the fast and light Scouting mech the Banshee, we will run Circles around you then.

I'm still kinda new, but I'm struggling to grasp the point of this thread. Is it about making better decisions in the heat of battle, or is it a thinly veiled "I hate the new scoreboard" complaint?

Prioritizing targets isn't that hard. I prioritize mechs, rather than individual performance. A1s, 5Ms, and LRM boats are the first to "get some".

I'd like to call it theatrically sarcastic criticism..

People go after an arch-nemesis based on faction. ("KURITAAA!!!")

I still gun down the medium mechs first: low armour/lots of gun.
