It's too easy to sidestep, and predict where they're driving. You have the upper hand because you have the ability to change direction last minute; they, however, can't turn on a dime so quickly.
As I stated in the title, the majority of LAV deaths are from people who already suck at maneuvering. Not only do you guys consistently get run over, but you also move straight toward your targets, stand still while shooting, etc etc.
Please, just for the sake of ending the whining, learn how to strafe/maneuver properly.
I do support a LAV nerf (make them cost isk like the other militia equipment), but I don't think the uproar is so deserved. At first the LAVs were annoying, but I and others learned how to adapt and are now acrobatic gymnasts who hop across the field.

When was the last time you played? After 1.2 I have been hit because they miss me and immediately reverse and back over me. I have also danced in the open field with LAVs trying to make my way back to an elevated surface. It typically ends in either:
1) I get shot by another ground fighter
2) They CAN turn on a dime and I run out of stamina.
Here me out for a second(*cough* ccp *cough*) there is a serious f***ing problem when a game starts with 5 people calling in LAVs for the sole purpose of running people over. I have left games because it takes away from the nature of DUST514, A FRIKIN FIRST PERSON SHOOTER, not Grand Theft Auto or Grand Tourismo. If you want to get your kills primarily from LAV impacts go f***ing play one of the mentioned two.
I play this game to pit my shoot/maneuver skills with those in front of me. When I have to jump around dodging dickheads(who obviously suck at FPS) in LAV's while shooting at other ground troops, it removes the reason I play this game. I can understand one guy trying to change the direction of the game. I actually sometimes enjoy the added challenge. But when 4 LAV's are buzzing in and out killing everybody on my team, that is ******* stupid.
Two possible solutions:
1) Make the impact mechanics of enemy LAV's like friendly. They push the player.
2) Preferred: Do not take a clone from impacts and give 0 WP to the driver for the kill.
End of story and f*** you if you play this game only by running people over. Oh, Core Flaylock Pistole abusers can walk off a cliff as well. |
