You might as well lump yourself in with the faglocks, lagdrivers, noob tubes (duvolles), murder taxis, and Chromosome rail snipers at that point.
It takes no skill to chill there with an armor tank that has more ehp than a squad of AV can dish out in DPS in one second.
It takes no skill to use a weapon that slaughters infantry even at 100m, is perfectly accurate, and has the hit detection of 1.4 assault rifles.
If you KDR means that much to you, then you are playing the wrong game.
The real tankers brawl with railguns and missiles (hard mode). Every kill is earned. Every kill is done outside of the redline.
For those of you who are aspiring tankers, do not spec blasters- it is the fastest way to get yourself nerfed. This is obvious because Pyrex is running blasters- let's make a list of things he liked and things that got nerfed- same things in each category.
STOP BEING A PUBSTOMPING BLASTER TURRET TOTING NOOB...also don't redline railsnipe. That is just as bad.
EDIT: Also, don't jump out of your tank right before you die to preserve your KDR- another KDR ***** noob move. Real cavalrymen stay with their horses- There's a reason that the Old Breed called them White Stallions and Grey Mares.
Look, whilst I ABSOLUTELY AGREE with all of this in principle, Dust is not the game to call upon your fellow players to give up a play style/FOTM/easy mode in the name of "raising the standards". What we have with MLT tank spam is the result of two distinct and deliberate causes introduced by CCP: that every loss matters to you on personal and financial level, and that everything and everyone is therefore fair game. Blasters tanks work. Do they do so too well? **** yes, and don't I know it, thank you Duna. But I don't blame them. They're min/maxing there play style to win the meta game, and when you introduce Rpg elements to any competitive game that will always happen.
If this problem is going to be fixed we're going to have to do it through market forces, so to speak, and make MLT tanks a potentially poor return on your investment if you plan to just spam them ceaselessly.
Also buff swarms. For the love of Helm, BUFF SWARMS.
