CCP increased their PG cost. I believe the logic was this would require players to sacrifice more tank to be able to fly through the air like mario.

It is still possible to create fittings with three myofibs though... and since when you are jumping you instantly gain high ground advantage, the lack of a tank is a tiny inconvenience for the MD/PLC myofibing elite.

Actually, jumpy mandos are quite easy to take out with any kind of hmg. If you get killed by one, it's your fault for not having spatial awareness.

I view Myofibral Modules as unhealthy for the game as opposed to unbalanced/unfair. They simply reinforce how unbalanced verticality is in this game.

Players are able to get to areas they shouldn't be able to tossing grenades and firing wildly with weapons that should have enough force to toss them back through the air when fired.

Moreover it allows the placement of uplinks and equipment in areas that are otherwise impossible for the common infantryman to get to due to the glaring lack of logically placed maintenance stair wells and elevators.

So we all need to be wearing HMGs all the time??? Let me tell you when the mando jumps over the wall behind you and punches you for 1300 DMG you don't have time to eat through the 900 HP he has. Its one punch and its BULLSHIT. Risk and reward are the basis for this game. There is no risk in being tanky, mobile, and having the ability to carry 3 OHK weapons/equipment/melee on you. Not to mention you can also have the MD as back up if you want.

Most of us want to play a tactical SHOOTER. There is nothing tactical about myos right now. They are just EZ mode for kids with no aim or ability to actually move tactically. They don't need to. They carry the firepower, suppression, cover, and escapes with them.

That is not true at all. First of all, I'm not skilled into myos at all nor have I ever used one post-buff. I can tell you that people who melee do it because it is hard and they need a challenge. I myself find melee helpful for when I get an enemy down to low health and I ran out of bullets in my submachine gun or ion pistol.

I get quite a substantial amount of melee kills without modifiers, so don't group me into the myo group.

Another issue I am seeing lately with the jumpy myo fits is the overall time it takes to actually kill them. If I have you in my reticle the typical nonmyo scrub takes less than 2 seconds to kill. As soon as the myo scrub starts jumping around I have to dedicate many more seconds to kill them. This leaves you vulnerable and preoccupied for precious seconds that usually results in someone else on their team/squad killing you even if they don't. You cant ignore them, especially with the OHK melee potential. So, you are stuck trying to hit a guy that is actually in the wide open as if he had cover. During that time you are often having to move out of your own cover to avoid splash damage or OHKs. Tactical shooters are supposed to reward tactical play. If you move to the flank or better cover position you are supposed to be rewarded with the advantage. Instead you can run a myo fit and never have to actually worry about position. The game was not designed for this level of vertical movement, and the steady increase of myo use in the game shows that the only real adaptation to counter them is to run them. The warping of the metagame is itself not healthy.

I, like some others have mentioned, want to play a tactical SciFi FPS. Not Mike Tysons Punchout, Duck Hunt, or Halo. That means that melee and AV/splash weapons should not be taking center stage. At best they should be marginally successful play styles that allow those that want to play them the opportunity. They should not be on par with the role of a front line assault suit with a rifle. Otherwise, from even a flavor perspective the game makes no sense. It would be like ramming becoming the most viable tactic on EVE instead of actual weapon fire. Spears were used to get advantages over clubs, bows to get advantage over spears, and in the future I am pretty certain that assault weapons would be meant to be more effective than a melee punch from some laggy scrub abusing speed to avoid hit detection.

To complicate matters the scrubs are often in loyalty or cheap suits, their risk is much less than the 250k suit they just appeared out of nowhere on or OHKed with a Plasma cannon because they were on high ground that they normally would not be able to reach.

Its not a matter of aim. Its a fit that exploits the level design, weapon design, hit detection, and sensitivity speed of the game. You may like it or hate it, but those are the simple facts. It is an unintended exploit that allows players to gain an advantage. Anyone who actually plays this game and denies it is simply a liar and needs the crutch. Speed=bad hit detection on this game and that jump speed is much faster than any run speed and you can shoot while doing it. That's why guys have any success with the myos and KinCats. Its not skillful play ITS BAD HIT DETECTION. Moving back and forth while still in my reticle is still in my reticle and should produce damage as I fire. Unfortunately it does not and even if you do miss a few melee attacks the quantity is nothing compared to the number of rounds ignored while abusing the exploit. Just take a look at the current Mk.0 shotgun build. That one does not even need myos. Just KinCats to break hit detection so badly they can cross 40 meters under fire and still gun you down with a shotgun. Biotics right now are not in a healthy place for the game, unless hit detection can be fixed.

... there are many max myo Commando MK0s out there that can do 1200hp of melee damage...

Bull **** 1000 ehp

I would figure more like 600-800 MAXIMUM

Why would anyone put a plate on a melee fit? That is an unreasonable assumption and NO ONE would ever do that if they wanted to use it for meleeing.

Read the revised post. Its not about JUST melee. Its the play style in general.

You just keep getting hung up on the melee version for some reason.
