They're bad, and the worst part is that they're not quite bad enough for people to realise they're not even remotely worth taking over lasers(the god weapon at this point of the game) and/or whatever dumb gimmicky ballistic poo poo(gauss rifles excepted, which are as good as ever)

e: People also play them in incredibly boring, passive ways, and they're actively harmful as far as becoming less of a lovely player goes. When I did a stupid lrmboat to get my stalker basics way back in the day, I at least pushed and spotted/tagged targets for myself instead of whining about people not giving me locks while hiding behind a hill

e2:


They're actually actively harmful and in the group queue I see goons using pure lrmboats more than the pubbie groups I fight alongside/against

Solo queue is a different story. A much better story. A world dominated by a single tyrannical metal toddler armed with greenbeams of doom

Counter-point: LRM Stormcrow that's sticking with the team and actively helping. I'm not saying it's the end-all-be-all, but I know we've dominated 12 man ques for a while because of that thing. But it's still a LRMboat and therefore situational at best. Good gameplay > LRMs. That said, I'm not good at robits

LRMs might be a problem once the train gets rolling if defenders starting going LRM heavy, sicne they have the extra LL turrets to help out.

Is anyone in particular in charge of the FLJK invites? I'd like to try my shiny new clan mechs out for loyalty points and it'd be nice to know who to harass ahead of time.

Pretty much anyone in FLJK can invite

Although the barrier to entry is higher in a clan unit. It's 6 of one half dozen of the other, I suppose.

A bunch of us went off to do FLJK mostly to just get fights, because bashing faces against the wall against either Davion premades or Ghost drops got old fast for Liao. I like IS vs IS, just wish we had more people fighting. I may swap back after this FLJK contract and do a week of IS.

Direwolves are good, but I'm starting to agree with the general consensus that the Warhawk is better suited for 12 mans (group or pub) because of it's speed. DWs get left behind as light Bait so often it's sad. That said, DWs are still awesome powerhouses and scary as gently caress in the right hands.

So reading those patch notes I dropped WoL at the perfect time so I can start grinding out some clan faction rewards. Smoke Jag is the other one people are in, right?

Toke Cats. Also, don't join the faction yourself unless you plan to stay longer than we may. Join the unit.

Pass along Number19, the new map is pretty goddamned fun. Loving the open space around the cannon. And the cover in the approaches with sniping paths and all back and forth makes for great attrition battles. I might have a favorite map now. Also, tentacle flowers.

And ammo explosions werent a thing yet so we ran around with srm24(they had a different flight pattern back then, at set distances the missiles would converge for pinpoint mega damage. srms were stronger too and accidentally had a multiplier on back armor damage) plus ammo in sidetorsos blowing things the gently caress up. It didn't matter what tactics they had - just charge in and alpha their faces off. I think that was the era we all still ran on single heatsinks.

We even had animated banners about it, it was that good. It features a mawesome pelvis thrusting as it obliterated some poor robbit.
