Throwing REs at around 15m to insta kill a couple of heavies is common, or landing a couple of shotty rounds, or instant killing with them with knives. At least scouts can contest heavies. Assaults cannot fight heavies like scouts can and they're victim to the scouts as well, the QQ is coming from the wrong party here IMO. |

Smart teams keep Sentinel + logi groups considerably apart (but close enough to track on tacnet to ward off assassination streaks) What I see is the Sentinel costing many non-Sentinel suits their lives before going down. Then its logi revives it with a 100% Needle and Proto nanohives. 
Boundless REs work. So does a couple of F/45 REs. |

Shouldn't every suit be viable in PC?
I mean to be fair, no merc wants to put in all that work in an area just to be rendered null and void in the pinnacle of the game?! If a merc goes assault nowadays he's useless in PC for the most part?! There are a few dedicated assault slayers still around that can get it done, but they're playing on extremely hard mode.
Having a proto sentinel almost guarantees a role in PC right now. I don't know how many PC chats I have been in where if you say "RF1" 32 mercs type "proto heavy" in the chat?! I myself am on the bench unless I type that I also have proto scout in the chat. I am them bound to sprint-hack-die duty for the duration of the PC match?!
Right now in PC your either a heavy, logi-*****, or scout. I would love to see PC a whole overhauled completely! Currently it's just a skirmish on roids where we go to die quicker in full proto than we do normally in standard fits?!
Alot of mercs here in the forums have proposed some changes, but with all the changes that the game has seen I think it's time for a change to PC entirely. CCP, in my opinion, has started to notice. This is why they started to work on factional warfare! I believe until we can truly add eve on a larger scale than just OB support, until we can make PC a true war mode, and until we can find a cure for tactic-less spam we will be stuck with a mode no one wants to waste isk on?!
I think the key to attracting more players is PC. So it will need to be worthwhile. Players like to reach the meat of the story in gaming, and PC for all intents and purposes is that steak sandwich in dust. For a player to grind up enough SP to participate in PC just to realize it's an incomplete game mode riddled with heavy and scout spam is dissapointing?!
I completely understand the OP's point here because I've seen it. If you don't think it's true go get in a proto assault with your best weapon, and fight in a PC. The only thing you will accomplish is burning isk?! Proto Assault is not extreme hard mode. I have ADV minASS and it is VERY good. Like close to being OP good. If you have a squad, assaults are better than scouts, unless you are the only scout in the squad. I haven't run it in a PC as of yet, but once the sidearm event is over+2 weeks capping, Ill be relatively close to full proto, at which point Ill probably run it over my min scout except for the occasional speed hack or HP defense.
Comparatively, assault is hard mode in PC, you don't know this because you said it yourself - you haven't tried it yet. |

Sure the level of competition isn't what it once was, but that's made the battles closer, in general, and far more exciting....and the financial benefits to the players has never been better.
It certainly helps if you're in an active corp in an active alliance, or have a reputation as a solid team/PC player, and perhaps that's where our favorite little Goon falls short.
All of the above said, it would be that much funner if we could find a role for Assault suits.
Yes, because currently their role is not assaulting.
