Week 5: And then there were two

(MarsRover) #41

I played Proxy when I was new and inexperienced and I only did it to pay for my colleg… errrm… to pay for other mercs!

Talking about Proxy, her land mine could use better audio cue, can’t hear it 50% of the time despite it being right next or right in front of me.

I’d be very interested in a writeup regarding how to play Proxy well, especially if she ends up as the culprit.[/quote]

See enemies, rush them with mines, die before even having the time to lay one, repeat. This is how I see playing half of the Proxy playerbase play so I guess this is the way to go.

Jokes aside. The best way to play her is to be the most opportunistic arse in the world. Never expose yourself, think about the most obnoxious mines placements, exploit any faults and be unpredictable (especially with mines).

The most obvious tip : every good player will know that there’s almost always a mine set right at the objective point when Proxy is here. This is why it’s oftenly better to place the mine not on the objective point but before it, and sometimes way before it.

@aristocraticLadder they need an overall fix, mines trigger before someone is in their proximity. I can trigger a mine by standing at the other side of the wall it’s placed against.

My Stoker with the Stark can kill an entire team of 8 Proxies without reloading. Bring it on! :sunglasses:

I hope that I don’t get any missions for stoker, have to remove that mission :frowning:

I will forever be confused as to why Stoker is popular, seeing as ever since his release, I have very rarely seen him in pubs. Not nearly to the same caliber as Proxy’s and Vassili’s. Very bizarre.

(SzGamer227) #49

I’ts a fucking miracle. I first got on the pubs and saw a game full of Proxies and Vassilis and I just went “fuck it I’m hallucinating there’s no way Stoker is actually winning this” and then nearly evey match past that was dominated by Stoker with at least half the players carrying him in squad.

I don’t know how the hell he made it but I am very very glad I didn’t sink $15 dollars into a shite Proxy card, and I nearly pissed myself with joy when I saw Stoker in the lead.

(Potato_Ladder) #50

Imo, his ability is the easiest and most effective to use atm.

For example, if a Prox runs up close and tries to shotgun him, he can just throw the molotov in her face, it would instantly kill and gib her and not to mention the Stark AR.

(ShadowCow) #51

Stoker all the way, I play stoker and have fletcher in my squad plus skyhammer with his timik. gonna be playing stoker 24/7 no proxies pls, I will manhunt proxy if I have to to let stoker win xD

(katohan) #52

Proxy takes one spot rest will be taken by mission and random spot unless it is stoker then I will have to remove the mission. Stoker banned for me.

Played with 3 proxys in the same team today on chapel the ev didn’t make the first turn. Stoker with mechanic can do better for gods sake.

Vassili is slowly closing the gap, be prepared for it!

PS:Lately i see so many Skyhammer in every team, feels as if im playing max level 5 server.

(inscrutableShow) #56

Because out of the four mercs on rotation, he has the coolest sounding ability. Noobs are like; “Hmm, should I play somebody with mines, somebody with sticky grenades, a sniper, or somebody with A FREAKING FLAME GRENADE? I think THE FREAKING FLAME GRENADE.”

Noobs are like; “Hmm, should I play somebody with mines, somebody with sticky grenades, a sniper, or somebody with A FREAKING FLAME GRENADE? I think THE FREAKING FLAME GRENADE.”

And then the freaking flame grenade is sucked up by the EV, and they are like “screw this, I’ll take the mines”.

(Yoma) #58

Then they get killed by Vassili and are like “fuck that sniper no chance to get close, i gonna go sniper next game”.

Thats how newbies are, they tend to feel that everything that just killed them is strong and cool. (I thought the same about Nader which seemed broke to me in my early days in the game.)

Stoker is winning though, so your logic doesn’t work.
