It happens every time.

You guys are forgetting that Fletcher has an Empire-9. The Machine pistol that fires faster than the fastest firing SMG, Hochfir. Headshots melt people. Use the empire 9 as your primary and the Ahnuld to finish off medium/low health targets.

The Ahnuld doesn’t NEED to kill proxy in one hit.
A sticky bomb does that.

My Fletcher strat goes as such.

Sticky Bomb to damage high health classes or to kill low health by stick
Empire-9 to kill people looking at you
Ahnuld to kill people not looking at you. (It saves empire ammo for high threat targets)

It is just bad game design imo. Teams should be balanced and a team with 4x Same Merc isn’t balance. This and free-rotations are dumb. Nader+Proxy teams and Sparks whihc NEVER heal anyone. No support, no ammo mercs. Last rotation were only Bushwhacker and Vassilis. Ego-players, 0 teamplay. Every rotation should be random for everyone or always contain 1 support, 1 combat-support and 1 ego-player-merc.

If you want good team comp and teamwork play competitive with a clan. Pubs have NEVER been good at providing either.

I agree free rotation should include a medic, an engie, and an assault class though

This is gold.

And because pubs haven’t had them we shouldn’t change the game to improve it so they would have them?

_Sniff · 2015-07-05 21:19:29 UTC

I’m always for improvement! Unfortunately there will always be people who are just bad at the game and who play pubs. This is how nearly all games are.

I was just saying if you really really want to play good matches consistently to join a clan and play competitive!

Aura and skyhammer are always in rotation…

PlayingUndead · 2015-07-06 05:30:09 UTC

That must mean that Aura’s chain revives + health station and Skyhammer’s airstrikes are the “X Factor of Butthurt”. Or maybe… “Off Season of Butthurt” wherein when folks don’t have a new thing to complain about, they’ll go back to Aura and Skyhammer? Hah. I just imagine Skyhammer sitting on the bench seeing an angry mob all torches raised coming in from the horizon, tossing an airstrike marker that hasn’t been activated up and down in one hand, the other hand on his chin while he waits to throw it.

Tho pubs always have had great teams and support. So far ive managed to have quite a few gg in pubs

This is achieved when you get regulars at the game and a community forms. server browsing supports this. Random teams set up thru a mathematical algorithm (ie. matchmaking) does not. this process does not happen fast and works better when the pubs have higher pop due to socialization.

what isnt helpful tho is when people jump in a pub with an attitude that “pub suck” so just put in zero effort as they assume that is what everyone else is doing

@RuleofBookz What you are describing are stupid people. You can’t fix stupid. A dirty bomb trailer states that the game won’t hold your hand.

Think of Min Level 10 Servers as a distillation of stupid people from people who care about actually playing. Very few people who suck really really bad at the game will grind out 20 hours of gameplay to get to level 10.

@Sniff : Your thoughs about that BL33 loadout (the one with Quick Draw) ?

_Sniff · 2015-07-06 19:27:40 UTC

@Eox is BL33 is the blishlok emp-9 with quickdraw springy and lockon?

-edit- aah the flying pig, toughness, quickdraw.

I’ve tried it out a bit and the quickdraw is something I like. Weapon switching is a very big part of Fletcher. So is running away and flanking, Toughness and Flying pig works well there too.

I am not a HUGE fan of the blishlok mostly cause I suck with it.

It’s a good loadout. The same rules apply from above from ahnuld to blishlok except the blishlok can be treated as a decent primary/head on attack weapon. As well as giving you the ability to fight at range.
