I only doubted your statement because it just flat out doesn't make sense to switch to Rocketeer especially when any other mech would do the stomping so much easier.  Assault.  Switching to Assault as a top tier player is a move to gain an advantage, every single time.  Switching to Rocketeer is intentionally nerfing yourself to make matches more even, even on open maps.  Top tier players know this.  Top 100 players would know this. Top 250 players would know this. 

 

But I presume you aren't exactly a top tier player that would obviously know these things.

 

Or perhaps you are afraid to name names because there are few, if any.  If you're afraid that someone will report you for naming them as a player who switches to Rocketeer from time to time, I'm surprised you post on the forums at all.

 

You need to play more siege, see for yourself- if you haven't been spammed to death my multiple Predators and Rocketeers on Last Eco, or Snipered and Rocketeered to death on Bunker, you ain't playing enough...

 

 

It's hard to know what passes as top tier these days as like I say, most games I jump into are awful, rare to get an even match as balance is non-existent. Your less than subtle digs at my skill level is cute though, I'm a solid 2100mmr player- not a 2500-3000mmr monster who practices every spare moment of every day, I'm just a filthy casual who tries his best and does plenty well enough- cheers for the shade though, it's warm here.

Nah. The issue with the Rocketeer on a very open map is that 'skill-fires' can become unbearable, especially if there are two, three or four on one team even; we all know how silly the Nief is on console, so... you get the point hopefully. You don't need to be good to simply camp on a hill and spam seekers and hellfires at an exposed hill that needs defending- one rocketeer either side of you and you are in serious trouble.

 

 

The point I was getting at was that at higher levels of play, there are better, more competitive mechs than Rocketeer for those situations. I believe a strong Sharpshooter or even a Reaper could sway a match more than a strong Rocketeer, as while the suppression of the Rocketeer is helpful, Snipers beat it in killing power. On Last Eco, I think a good Hawkins Brawler or even a Grenadier could beat a Rocketeer of the same skill level. Sure, they aren't as good at longer range, but they have the beef and (for the Grenadier) decent mobility to close the distance. 4 or 5 Rocketeers can bring down a match, yes, but what about 4 or 5 Brawlers? 5 Predators on Wreckage? 4 or 5 Sharpshooters? An entire team of Orblord Incinerators (This one I have yet to see, but it's still crazy)? The thing is, while Rocketeer is a bit of a cheesy and scrubby mech, there are cheesier and scrubbier mechs that can do its job just as well.

Give up Guys...

 

he is merely tryna justify his desperado rockatard switch maneuvers... attempting to place himself in the upper tiers...

NO self respecting high tier player switchs to Rockateer when the fight gets hard... NONE...

 

ROCKATARD is to be played with Irony and no other way...

A good Sharpy beats the Rocketeer in suppression by far, because you can't dodge hitscan.

 

On Last Eco, I think a good Hawkins Brawler or even a Grenadier could beat a Rocketeer of the same skill level. Sure, they aren't as good at longer range, but they have the beef and (for the Grenadier) decent mobility to close the distance.

A good Hawkins Brawler is better at longer ranges.

Nullifying missile damage is extremely easy at long-range, while dodging hitscan is impossible.

Most monsters don't need to practice every spare moment of every day to destroy assumptive scrubs like you.

Hyperbole; look it up- nice to see the gang all there, liking your comments, lol.

 

Anyway, just to address a few things:

 

Demi said:

 

 

 

 

why dont YOU try playing with the highest ping on the server against the people i play against...

oh wait, nevermind, you would probibly rage quit within 5 minutes after being owned repetitively...

 

 

 

 

In defence of his negative k/d ratio and 1700mmr. However, he also said a few days earlier:

 

 

 I was playing on EU the other day...

 

and had NO problems... FROM OCEANIA!!!!!

 

so please, stop complaining

 
 
So, which is it? Do you have really poor performance in-game because of your ping, or are you lying about being a good player who has no trouble with his higher ping? It can't be both.
 
There was also some confusion about the Scanner remark I made- Demi had previously defended scanners to an extent and said he saw no real issue with them:
 
 
My comment was to simply state that we both had unpopular opinions about scanners, hence a long list of replies stating why we were both 'wrong' ( on different occasions and threads ). That's what that comment was referencing.
 
 
I'm still gonna watch the world burn.

Yeah every time one of us posts, we notify each other with a special group chat that someone posted and then we all go and like the post in order to make the post appear popular and the accepted norm, especially when it comes to bullying you.

 

I'm not afraid to tell the truth, unlike some of the others in the gang.  I won't name names though.

I wish you were joking though, that's the thing. #circlejerk

 

Are you saying however that certain members of the cliché have a tendency to speak out of turn? They must be banished at once!

I think that you meant to say "clique"

And I don't mean to sound like a prick,

but the breaks in your English

will tend to extinguish

any chance that your arguments stick.
