[MDCR] The Mediocres - Now DEAD!

Re: The Mediocres!

I'm down. You'll have to ask Plum, though.

Re: The Mediocres!

Ok that means we need to see who the better support is out of 3 players i think....
we will definately need an assassin, if not anyone, ill go assassin
havent played with others Dx

Re: The Mediocres!

Ah-ha! It is a challenge, then! Shotguns and Firebases at twenty paces! :mrgreen:

In all honesty, though, I think we could actually go with two Supports on the team. No more than that, though.

On the topic of scrimmaging, I'd be up for it.

Re: The Mediocres!

Looking over these, it looks like this is our most likely line-up (without dueling over positions).

Plumbum: Assault
Kemical Enigma: Support
DesertFalcoN: Gunner or Tank
Nude waffle: Sniper*
peterw000: Assassin*
Foolamancer: Support

*: These two can switch if desired

If we absolutely have to have someone fill in as the Gunner or Tank (whichever Desert) isn't playing, Kemical or I could switch. I doubt that either of us would be fantastic as a class we don't play regularly, but still.

If Desert would rather play Sniper, maybe he can talk either lolcat or peterw000 to swap with him.

Or we can compete for positions. Whichever you guys think would work better.

Re: The Mediocres!

All members of MDCR what is your best class, and best score for that class?

Ok so at the moment Ive seen Kemical play Support so he can be support.
And a question to Nude Waffle, can you headshot gunners and tanks easily? (even when clawing?)

LETS ALL HAVE SOME FUN IN OUR SCRIM!!!!

Re: The Mediocres!

Support. Best score, I don't know off the top of my head.

Re: The Mediocres!

TEAM LINE UP SO FAR:

Plumbum: Assault
Kemical: Support
nude waffle: Assault
DesertFalcoN: Assassin
peter: Sniper
Fool: Support

I think this will be the best as we do not have reasonably good gunner/tank

Re: The Mediocres!

JAYSOFACTON reporting for bench warming duties.
I play a nasty shuriken build Assassin on SteelPeel: 28-64-8
and try to go whatever is needed on other maps although I
prefer Assault. I struggle with Gunner due to lack of practice
& Sniper due to being on crappy 3mobile broadband.
Sorry I'm only on at the unsociable hours of midnight onwards
fri & sat (GMT) but if you are on then, invite me even if you
have a full team & are against randoms.

Do I get to use MDCR clan tag even though I'm only sub?
Cos I would be proud to do so.

Re: The Mediocres!

I wouldn't object!

Save me a job.

Re: The Mediocres!

2 supports is a really bad idea...
the only thing that i can think of that would be worse than 2 supports is 3.

Re: The Mediocres!

Never noticed this...

Got to pay more attention, dammit. Back in a second. By the way, Enigma, you use Paint.NET too?

Re: The Mediocres!

i think that the protag image is very good (its amazing) I would like to play gunner if that would be ok but if not then can i be sniper and if you ask how good i am at them i am not good at any class.

Re: The Mediocres!

The way I see it at this point, I'm learning Tank, hence why I didn't include it.

If we have Foolamancer be the Assault, I can take the Tank and Peter can take the Gunner, leaving us with;

PlumbumTheEpic (Plumbum 09): Tank or Assault
KemicalEnigma: Support
lolcat (Nude waffle): Assault
DesertFalcoN: Assassin
peterw000 (xL3ETHAL Z3BRAx): Gunner or Sniper
Foolamancer: Assault or Support

Meaning if we take these revisions, we have 2 Assaults, a Tank, a Support, an Assassin and a Gunner.

Re: The Mediocres!

Actually, I end up on teams with dual Supports rather often, and it's never been a bad thing. As long as both Supports are capable of basic reasoning, they can team up to lay a serious smack down on the enemy.

Seriously. One support on base defense and the other running around the map healing allies (probably with a Speed Endorsement) is pretty powerful. If base defense isn't high on the priority list, they can split up and each take a lane. Having a Firebase on both lanes makes for some pretty heavy pushes, as does having a healer on hand for anyone who needs it. And having extra Gap Shots and Air Strikes is never a bad thing.

The only time that having two Supports might be bad is when one of the Supports has no idea what they're doing. Then you've just got someone running around wasting space on the team. But that's the same problem that you have with every other class. It all depends on whether or not the person playing it is any good.

Three Supports is too many, though. Three of any class is too many. I almost never see a team's performance suffer from having two of any class, but I almost never see a team with a three-of win. A team with three people playing the same class is too focused, and can't cover everything that they need to.

Seems like a sound plan to me. Depending on the situation, I can play either Assault or Support. Everyone who doesn't have an "or" in their name might want to find a second class to start practicing as, though, so that we have a little more flexibility.

Re: The Mediocres!

I suppose I could read up on a guide for Gunner and give that a shot... but honestly, I'm sure I'll be bad.

And yeah, Plum, Paint.NET ftw. :lol:

Re: The Mediocres!

Remember that we have no pressure to be any good yet.

My Tank is horrible at the moment.

Re: The Mediocres!

Alright, good. :lol:

I read the build for a guide and decided to play around. I joined a game and played for about 4 minutes. 0 - 3 - 2. :lol:

Re: The Mediocres!

Something to keep in mind when we're actually playing together: impressive K-A-D spread is not the same as Credit To Team. Having lots of Kills and Assists is a good thing, of course. You're not hurting your team. But you didn't necessarily do badly if you have a low score. Sometimes you've got to be the guy who sits back in the base and holds off the bots, or leads a push on the lane where there are no Pros.

Re: The Mediocres!

Absolutely true. Thanks for pointing that out.

Re: The Mediocres!

Alright and one more thing, make sure you are willing to sacrifice your killstreak to stop bots coming in or to destroy a threat looking pro/turrent. And supports must hack ALL turrets not just the ones they spent their money one. And btw whos the captain?
