KingBabar MAG was better... 2634	Posted - 2014.06.26 09:32:00 - [1] - Quote Get over yourselves fatties, many skilled players I've talked to go from a fully maxed proto whatever fit, which on top of maxed core skills has a suit + gun SP Investment of over 8 M SP, and then they use an 3 M SP alt with a basic fatty HMG setup and do just as good if not better. And lets not forget that the protofittings cost 180-220 K isk while at least my Fatty setup cost les than 30 K isk... Its at least what happened to me when I did a "Babar goes fatty" Experiment about 3-4 weeks ago. I had a KDR well over 10, and I had no previous experience running as a fatty, well I did use that alt in beta which is why I had 750 K Sp on it.... I see players like Taz-666 - The Rainbow Effects dedicated hacker and AV dude, he has a KDR of less then 2, way les than anyone else in TRE, suddenly he starts wearing a Minmatar speed fatty with a HMG and he gets rounds like 37-3 30-0 and so on, scores that I've never seen him even get close to. I have more examples of, well lets say "non-slayer" players that suddenly has an insane rice in KDR, after they respecced into fatsuits/HMG combos. The range argument is somewhat a bad one. There are a number of CQC maps, the so called city maps, where you have 2-3 objectives within fairly close distance. There are plenty of cover and engaging the Fattys at distance is simply not possible. So whats the effective viable counters to them? - Gang up 3 vs 1, (even that can be hard in some situations...) - Use shotty scouts or perhaps RE's (Hardly viable in the long run due to passive scanning, situations etc) - So the best and only really viable counter to fatty spam in the long run is to spam your own fattys. Do wwe see a trend of this already? Doesn't this also sound a lot like a certain Tank situation? At least tell me this; if fattiy/HMG combo is so balanced, why is it that I see them all over the place, in any game mode even on the big more open maps? Some statistics of % of HMG kills would be very interresting to see. Its not like the Dust playerbase isn't known for flocking to the current most OP setup.... The suits are fine, the HMG needs some sort of change that rewards skill over spray and pray, its getting ridicculous.... FU and FU Dust community, you're mostly a bunch of moronic carebear crybabies. Get good.
