On a different note, is ranked working for anyone? I can't find a game.

i haven't quite been able to play enough to get into ranked, which i bet is a problem even if the system is working well - there's probably not a terirbly large pool of players that's above level 20 yet. maybe tomorrow will be different? definitely post weekend unless there's a big technical issue with ranked

Comp is gonna depend on the game mode but I'd be surprised if 3 slots weren't dedicated to GM, Gundam, and Sazabi.

i do wish stuns weren't as prevalent though - i feel like they were less common in the network test?

There's no new stun effects since then. For existing stuns, Turn A's stun got buffed a bit, but Barbatos's stun got nerfed a bit, and as far as I can tell all of the others are about the same as they were. It's probably just a matter of people utilizing the stuns that exist better than in the network test. I've definitely seen more RX-78 players in live than I did in the network test, for example.

I feel like whether or not GM becomes meta depends on how prevalent stuns and shield breaks end up being. Sazabi and Gundam both benefit hugely from their shields but aren't 100% reliant on them to function - Sazabi has fat rear end HP and good mobility and Gundam has a ranged stun and what amounts to a marksman rifle - whereas if you can null the GM's shield the suit dies instantly and contributes nothing.

Anyone else having crazy lag? I'm on wired and opponents are just disappearing as I'm shooting them, weird spikes, being shot from behind walls.

I'll be pretty shocked if the meta doesn't demand a sazabi on both teams every match ngl. Just on a basic level no other suit provides that kind of beef to your team - only the gm comes close and there's a lot more ways to quickly kill it. With the high mobility and lethality of the game having robot that can step on the point and say "I'm not getting off here until you kill all my buddies first or every member of your team shoots at me at once" is both unique and valuable

fucking clocks
how do they work?
Honestly his biggest problem is the other Sazabi walking in and axing him.

I also like that you can yeet his axe from spawn and just launch yourself straight back into the fight.

Yeah Virtue feels like a pretty natural choice. A beefy boy who can post up somewhere with a big shield, but rather than a chain gun for constant coverage you have a big single shot so it can't just lock down an entry.

Overall it would be cool to see a fairly even mix of grunts and hero suits.

Wing is probably gonna get put in because it's so recognizable/popular but shenlong gundam would be a cool melee build suit. Give him like a long range grapple that pulls targets to him. Game gets its Hog.

Just shoot him in the head when he gets close and he dies, reality is anything except the sniper can pretty handily deal with the zaku as long as you turn and shoot it.

Mid rangers just need to use their disables/mobility to keep him at range and shoot him at that distance, close range you just shoot him in the face faster than he shoots you in the face, and the sniper is the only one who really doesn't have much recourse besides blasting it.

I've had luck with the dom by just cruising backwards and throwing mines/rocketing him when he tries to avoid the mines, and when he pops smoke to run away I pursue and then laser him down.

any suit can do it as long as they can look at the zaku. zakus are extremely allergic to bullets, or light breezes

turn a's judo throw fucks them up real bad if you can land it. any stun really - rx-78 i find is hard to handle between shield and the thrown stun and a long ranged high damage gun

Add the WODOM and have its G Maneuver airdrop a huge cluster of those little fucks in to harass everyone :getin:

Alternately add the WaD itself but have it work like Murkey in HotS did where you can respawn super fast and place a spawn area further up field but die to a stiff breeze.

wadom's g maneuver is its giant fuckoff cannon, there's no way there can be any argument to the contrary

the wads should totally be an ability though
