the quote bugged out and i couldn't fix it. none the less my argument there still stands.

10-15 kills with 0-2 deaths. thats about average. i would say thats far more balanced than 1 lolassaulter steamrolling everything it can and as soon as anyone looks at you that might have any sort of ap you run and hide or as most of you do, you just switch the suit and get a shiney new one. also tanks[i/] do not often go 30+ kills. yes some do solo but not often and they take unfathomable[/] hits to the wallet to get so high. mostly its great squads or teams steamrolling the opposition which makes getting that 30 kills easy because they work as a team but thats another issue and nothing to do with infantry or ap

sure randoms like to solo, you in your dropsuit[/] like to solo. that makes you a random. people have suggested time and time again to make infantry require a squad(wait no they haven't! why not? just as effective, in my experience) which would require teamwork to use and then this would make balancing infantry across 3 [i]infantry players to take that [i]protosuit out balanced but [i]infantry are having none of it and still want to solo.

Breach FG can hit for 4k of my 7k. 10% passive resists before active mods (which I often don't have running; out of combat downtimes, dontchaknow) equals a potential hit for ~50% of my EHP on a huge target. Also, there is no way that a Core Locus with 600 base gets boosted to nearly 1k damage. Particularly considering you've got shields in the way. (unless there's a bug to do with headshots?) In any event, a well-placed Core Locus is harder to place than a Wyka Breach shot on a tank. And I love it when a swarm launcher lol1shots my Madrugar through my resists from some BS critical hit he didn't even aim for.

Most suits are 1 shoted, heavies are the exception! Well, I'll accept that. However, I'm going to call that the exception, not the rule. In the same way that I rarely eat 50% damage from one shot from a forge, or get lol1shot from a swarm. I do, however, have to deal with a single shot from a free weapon dealing 1/5th of my HP on my top-tier, maxed-relevant-skills, 1.4M fitting, which is not something that a heavy ever has to deal with (aside from grenades, of course, but I'll take that and raise you a 'grenades are basically point-blank weapons')
