Ask vets Private match questions (PMs)

Honestly if you want to be good you have to be ready to do anything relevant to the situation. When we telly to do one thing's it's usually just so you don't get confused and mess up. Unfortunately most vets still stick to this mentality and are limited.

Èxamples?

When playing assault, don't do nothing but chase the sniper and support. When playing assassin don't do nothing but push the bots in one lane. When sniping, don't purely shoot the gunner.

I've been meaning to ask: what's a good skill path for Sniper?

I go flak and traps 2 off the start, flak 3, traps 3, explosive rounds, grapple 2/3.

Oh your refering to me for what I was telling new players... well you'll have to step up and out do chrons support because he was way more aggressive. He wasn't leashing his gunner as much as us either. Howodd.... and he used the shotgun to wreck us. Tell us the new gameplan coach. We still got the w.

What Shammas is saying is you need to play the game and do what is appropriate (within your skill level) to advance toward the win. That might mean a retreat to safety at times - especially for the Support.

The Tank is the same case. If the Assault or Gunner keep knocking you back to your spawn room, you need to form a new strat. Don't just charge forward and death blossom robots. There's aggression and there's fodder. I mean, you give a Bouncer enough time and they'll take the ball down, it's nothing special to follow the stripey line to the enemy ball. Be aware of your surroundings and act accordingly.

Their support and assault were the ones pushing us back. Mainly the support who was chron who was killing people with a shotgun. Something forbidden in pms. He was doing turntables support not leashing. Also they cheated and built an outside rocket. Lol

Lol that game was a blast. I still don't condone that style of play, it's just the previous game the same gunner was playing too cautious and really narrowed the potential of what I could do while trying to stay around him, and he didn't have a mic, so next game I kinda just said fvck it.

There will be instances of the perfect storm, in this case a situation where the skill gap of support and gunner was enough where the support could get more kills if doing his own thing, and an opposition with less than star studded slaying power. If I had say miracles gunner and just leashed him I would have had a very modest box score but the game would have been a slaughter

However this does also show supports potential in the right hands, to a certain degree. Taking full advantage of environment and quick thinking, support can do some work

That being said I had a fvkcin blast and nobody on our team minded the loss, so much lolz on our end. Me Gem and Lead had a great time alongside seklie and scratchy

Shotgunning is forbidden in PMs?

Sounds like a hoot. :|

Question; I want to make teams as fair as possible. I like the team pick method we have for slightly more competetive, but for more of "get an even matchup so you can learn against our own skill" how about this; one captain picks two players for a position. To make sure it stays fair and isn't something like "Gunked and Scratchyy on gunner" captain two picks the player he wants, and captain gets the other one. You COULD say Gunked vs Scratchyy, but the other captain will take Gunked and you would get Scratchyy.

EXAMPLE

Captain 1 - RandomToon
Captain 2 - Chron
We agree support is probably the best because we have a plan for assassin...

Captain 1 - LeadLP and Feedle on Assassin (because I never see this happen)
Captain 2 - Chooses lead, captain 1 therefore Feedle

Captain 2 - Jake630 and DaDale on gunner
Captain 1 - Picks his guy for gunner, captain 2 gets the other guy

Etc.

I think this way, people can try out new classes and not have to worry about being completely outmatched. One of the biggest reasons no one goes for slayers, gunner is particular, is the disaster that happens when someone like Gunked goes up against someone lesser skilled.

The downside is not swapping roles between maps...

Thoughts?

That's a big downside. It's weird in PMs of past people wanted to play what THEY wanted. This new breed of PM player really looks to the captain to tell them what to play. I just say w/e you want. I think if you got into nitpicking class specific teams setup would take even longer. Always worth trying tho I suppose

Yo FVCK the gunner, shotgun locked & loaded, roll out

THAT'S RIGHT BITCHES! SAFETY'S OFF MOTHERF*CKERS! GET OUT DA WAY!!

Sounds like you got sh!t on and now you want to remove it. Thank God private matches are not more customizable. Then you would see Asssault passive removed because people thinik that is too hard to hit. Gunner Jetpack disabled. Assassin back grapples now take 2x to kill. It goes on and on... As games get older noobs start to change it to make it easier for them. It happens in every game and MNC is no different.

You missed the part where feedle wrote LOL. Of course shotgun is OK. In some cases preferred ;-)

The tea pick thing was an idea, that's all.

It threw everyone off and you were going towards an uber then shammas kept calling out kill you at all costs. "Hes at our spawn waiting dont go out... *BANG BANG BANG*... " I ran out just so youd chase me first while everyones telling me not to go out.. F* it...

you can't win games sitting in the spawn room and if you cant get out of a trap or try then youll lose.

Making it easier?? Don't think so.. buying juice and pressing RT is easy.
Trying to get an all time great without juice... that takes more skill.

Not at all... im one of the guys who would rather shoot people with the shotgun then sit and heal or turtle. Mind you i do heal and leash the gunner and try to keep the team alive or secure mid etc but it doesnt always work for you when juice pushes you back.

These are just from what i think.. i dont know the actual reason and alot of these we suggestions from other people since its playing the game the way it should be played.

Why we have the rules we have now?
1 of each class can over power 2 of the same class plus you learn how to play each class eventually.

Why do we only have 2 turret nubs by the moneyball?
Having 6 turrets at all times can create a turtle fest

Why don't we have juice every game?
People abuse it

Spawn striking?
People abuse it

I remember i told gunk to do the invisible firebase in a pm... what happened?
You all got mad at him. He ruined that game for you didnt he?
No one wants those in pms no more...

if it was all fair game there would be chaos...
insta strikes all over the place...
assaults and gunners always juiced
invisible firebases killing everyone but the host
spawn strikes from ever class

your talking to a guy who doesn't care about gunner dancing on walls or a tank shooting the jetgun through a wall burning some support whos dumb enough to stand near the glass or wall.

I thought chron going 9-0 with the support was funny then shamas started flippin out
I also thought if was funny shammas couldn't out support chron

Chron is clearly more AGGRESSIVE

im one of the supports who use the shotgun
