Hardly. I see at most 1 or 2 people per match using them, with many matches having none. Nope, RRs, CRs, and tanks are still FoTM. It's just that everyone has already cried their eyes out over those and now they've moved on to REs, which have been the same for a long, long time. |

Yeah, sorry Aero, but I just haven't seen anything to suggest that.
I want to stand behind my Amarrian brethren, but I guess we're not running into the same crowds.
I contribute nothing.

Not even close. Even after all this time, I still see plenty of games filled to the brim with tanks, and when there are no tanks... Rail Rifles. Rail Rifles everywhere... Combat rifles are, oddly enough, actually kind of rare in comparison.
Remotes are still pretty uncommon. A few players use them to good effect and everyone complains. I think I've only been RE'd two, maybe three times since 1.7 launched, though I've had a few noobs try to do so and fail. It's far from being FoTM, though they are managing to gain a fair bit of popularity and likely will continue to do so if they're not nerfed in 1.8.
Sometimes I miss never seeing tanks in a battle... then I remember the mystical flying soma, and I can't help but smile.

From my observation, remotes are more of a "come and go" thing.
People start using remotes, they are successful. More people start using remotes. Critical mass is achieved, people learn to avoid remotes. Not falling for remotes becomes part of the new meta, people stop using remotes. People forget about remotes.
Time passes.
Someone starts using remotes, they are successful. Yadda yadda yadda.

I'm seeing large crowds of people doing nothing but using remotes as their primary weapon. Must be getting into different matches than everyone else.

It's just that everyone has already cried their eyes out over those and now they've moved on to REs, which have been the same for a long, long time. honestly CCP made a simple mistake which someone found and it made a big problem with the balance on tanks and thats the only reason they used so much right now and normally when you see alot of RE's its the ones stacking them on LAV's although I keep hearing that they will fix that so really CCP fixes that 1 issue with tanks and it will balance out better but just to get this out its hard for me to see tanks as the FOTM when I can kill them with my swarms quite easily me and a buddy yesterday were laughing because everyone is bithcing about AV when it's so easy to kill them with swarms and forge guns since 98% of them are noob wannbe duel hardner tanks if not just a dmg mod stacked tank.
Either way MLT and poor fit std tanks die easy and only a slight few actually fit thier tank different than this and they are the ones who are tougher to kill but rail rifle and combat rifle do feel quite powerful but same can be said about other guns too |

I actually was for once in ambush and messing around with a skinweave heavy which is basicly mlt with an adv hmg since I had it lvled and ran into a few using the scout shotgun RE tactic it was quite easy even as a heavy to spot and evade the RE trap better yet just blow it up lol but I can understand |

Like I said, no one wants to admit it.
Just got out of another match where there were at least six different people using remotes as their weapon.

Think about it they are scouts most the time think of it this way when they run at high speed and jumps they can increase the speed and distance of the RE now on other dropsuit types I have no idear maybe sprinting and jumping |

There not FOTM, they easily counterable, you shoot the guy in the face! They are popular right now because alot of people are brick tanking heavies with RRs, RE is the logical counter, have you seen more forge guns? I have, for the same reason.
They aren't fitting of the month, they are just the counter to the FOTM.

RE's are not fotm unless you consider them being used as AV because outside of forges AV sucks balls.
I kill more tanks with re's than any other AV and i have prof 4 swarms, proto proxy, and packed lai dia.
:(
Outside of that re usage hasn't spiked on my radar particularly.

Also this is similar to ScR users claiming they are skilled and that is why they perform well When in reality the weapon is as OP as a rail, they just can't admit it ....
I always get a giggle from the Forum posters commenting on weapons they don't use.. I run a basic ScR, 1 DMG mod and wow that is a serious reward for just being able to hit your target... OHK ability needs to be removed from rifles, then I'm open to suggestion on RE edits

Sometimes i come accross some guys who use remotes and they are pretty easy to outplay. All you need is situational awareness and jump away from the remote explosive when he throws it at you. This can be achieved by backing off/bunny hopping or rushing towards the guy. Soundwhoring plays a huge part in this cause once you throw a equipment it makes a sound.

tip # 1 of being a demo guy.... throwing remotes at people is a last ditch gambit as it almost never works, if your throwing a trmote at someone or attempting to corner trap someone the objective isnt really the kill... its to use that moment of pause to get away.
ive been a lover of these little parcels of fun and ive watched them wane in and out of pupolarity a few times, but NEVER have they been FOTM.... RR is the current flavor of the month because well you enter games and chances are that 12-14 people are using RRs....
talk to me when literally EVERY person in a match you enter is carrying remotes and THEN we will talk.
remotes are back in the spotlight now because they are the current counter to FOTM mlt tank spam, not FOTM themselves. |

If there are 3-4 guys bunched up in one area and looking the other way, damn right I'm going to try to remote the lot of them.
Doing it from the front is possible but very risky and is sort of a last-ditch effort kind of thing. Usually you can only detonate post-mortem and most people have enough sense to back up or sprint forward when they see you do this from the front.
Otherwise remotes are best as pre-meditated traps, as it's easier to just kill single players with the shotgun (with the exception of heavies, who I sometimes RE just for the surefire kill). |

My RE scout will be a lot more effective once I have a second equipment slot to carry hives. I don't even bother hiding the explosive anymore. People will hack with my little present glued to the console.
