Heat of combat, when you're getting shot at, you don't have time to do the perfect thing and you can speculate on what -YOU- would have done all day, doesn't mean it would play out. Theoretical skill is just that. When all it takes is maybe five rounds from a Scrambler rifle to put you in the dirt then you start to consider things a bit differently and go on the defensive more often.

All proto Gallente Assault with Assault Rifle and Ion Pistol's completely max specced (all skills level 5)

Combat scenario: Me versus a handful ofAmarr Assaults with a Scrambler Rifles in a match.

These two little video clips are the ones where I should have had a clear, undisputed advantage in the situation for a variety of reasons:

- I have higher mobility (lighter armor/myros)
- I should theoretically have the best equipment in CQC (AR, Ion Pistol)
- My SP investment for this suit is maxxed out and cannot possibly progress any higher, I am literally at my peak
- My experience with the game and competitive combat should warrant at least decent skill-level
- My use of terrain was beneficial (if at first)

Here's how that played out.

And yet ignores all the other posts talking about weapon balance suggestions (whether they are good or bad). Several people covered the AR vs ScR, and IP vs SMG.

All of which are invitations to introduce your thoughts on the matter and to focus on what your thread was targeting which were your ideas for weapon balance and its plausibility.

With the exception of post 21 and 23, which was in response to a post detailing your tactics, you've not tried to strike up a discussion with those who are actually posting on theoretical weapon changes, which seemed to be the original purpose of the thread / video.

First, give up with the nades lol

Secondly, whats this vid supposed to show?
