The first several games I've played since the update have been almost nothing but explosive weapons being spammed from cover.

This is the new protostomp meta. Noobs can stack mods now on more slots so what do the leet corps do? Run for the hills and pop MD, flaylock and REs. On top of that almost every one of the leet corp players was running proto Sentinel suits with regular rifles in addition to the obligatory HMG spam.

I have never seen so much explosions in such a small area that regularly.

Heck, I'm even seeing good ol' dropships come out and actually shoot their side turrets (missile launcher of course).

Well CCP, you aren't going to help non-stomp players out if there is always some poorly implemented mechanic for the power player leet scrubs to fall back on for easy wins.

The good thing is that only one in three games did these tryhards actually win with this new scrub meta. However, this makes the game even more cheap and predictable than it already was.

Shall you come to the point you understand THIS IS A PROTO GAME, many players with low SP cry like you are doing now, you will get this straight within a few years, when all your fitting list will only be proto, then you'll fully understand this game.

They are not trying to win...They are just there for kills. Honestly, the constant stream of heavy suits only is getting old. Guys snipe in them, they AScrR in them, they jump around with mass drivers in them. Not even sure why the hell Commandos got a sped buff and the "most versatile" suit got nerfed. I feel you on this post. The worst part is all the MD spam seriously affects the frames per second on the game.

Spoken like a man who does not understand the game.... It will not be here in a couple years to talk about if that trend continues. If you are running proto right now then you started playing in easy mode. Everyone was on a level field. That is not the case now. New guys face off against players with SP and gear advantages that would make you run to COD for a break. So don't speak about things you don't understand, or better yet start an alt, give it no gear or boosters, and see how much you love the difference. Because, in truth the only guys I see crying are the one who have been here for a while. They worry if the new guys aren't matched up with them they might have to actually lose a few suits...or they just leave. It's not the new guy leaving mid game BTW. It's the proto squad that came out behind after the first three minutes. The new guys stick with the 1/8 games. They are used to it. So before you start talking about crying realize you never earned the right to say that. You just came up with the rest of the guys who where on your level.
