Banging a chick with a fever is rape. She's obviously not healthy enough to consent.

when i want to play and literally no one else in WoL or on my friend list is on there's not really much to do about it. mumble's also been empty whenever I've checked over the last week or so and considered playing a few games, so my general impression is that overwatch probably killed groups for this game

I hung out for an hour or so in channel on a recent weekday and some dudes turned up and we got a fair few games in, you just need to be the guy that waits in the channel for people to turn up.

What's a good catapult build now that it's stupid tiny?

Please someone tell me that at some point in the past... *checks calendar* six months or so, AC/10s have been made playable: CPLT-K2

Banano inspired me to run one waaaaaaay back in the day.

It was fun, just don't brawl (!). 2 ac10's, 4 ml's. Fit the engine/heat sinks around that. It will be hot.

AC/10s are pretty fun. They strike a good balance between feeling powerful, dealing damage, and having range. It helps if you've got a robit quirked for them though.

What's with the random MPL? why not more heatsinks and just rock 4 MLs?

edit: vvvv I wouldn't call AC/10s of any type to be brawl guns. They shine in the midrange. Especially when 20s are only 2-3 tons heavier.

Theres a few reasons i didnt put an XL in a brawler build you know.
Especially if you go with half armor on the arms.



^^^^
I on the other hand wouldnt call any type of LBX gun anything other than brawl range.

Catapults don't brawl my dude, they're standoff/long range support. They don't have the hitboxes to brawl.

Also lol that your build used 10 rear armor on the side torsos and 4 on the back ct. Real good "brawl" build.

With the resize, they might be almost viable in a brawl. Very least, they're gonna be able to spread damage better.

Ermagerd, i didnt adjust the rear armor value from the build i took and changed, sky is falling!
Also, if you bothered to read the spoiler you might have gotten the idea that it wasnt supposed to be the one build to rule them all...

It's the size of a hunchback and it's all CT from the front and all side from the side, it doesn't have the armor to nose wiggle to spread damage like the stalker. There are worse options in a brawl, yes, but nobody is going to be pissing damage all over a catapult unless they're an idiot.

Also K2 arms go as low as possible on armor because they're sacrificial and tiny.

E: I read the spoiler, I was more commenting on the fact that for a garbage build, it was more garbage than necessary, and then stringbean is like "gonna run that build".

Since its appearently a punishable offense running less-than-minmaxed-optimum builds, can you rate this more serious catapult build

If you're using an AC/20, you only need to hit the target once. If the target's still standing, you oughta be somewhere else anyway.
To be honest. brawling in my XL laservomit Jester always went fine. poo poo twists fast and far, always died with all torsos orange or red.

MicroCatapult is going to be great.

Oh man, the phoenix hawk is going to be so bad. Poorly quirked, enormous for a 45 tonner, arm focused gunmounts on a fully humanoid mech so it's going to have bad durability and firing points.

I feel sorry for people (like me) that bought it out of a misplaced sense of nostalgia.

really what they should have been going for was a slower, more powerful version of what the Firestarter used to be

instead it's like ... I don't even know what its role is

The ONLY fit I can imagine for the phoenix hawk is 3 ER large lasers.

Because unless you're poking from extreme range that thing is going to be a deathtrap.

Poking with a mech literally head and shoulders taller than every other 45 tonner.
