Legend rank or Player @Legend

I have went to legend ranked battles in MM and i did pretty good

Rank

[gokuMI6 1,290]

Rank

Then i have done it

You can also get a Friend who is Field marshal above and Group with him and jump to MM 

you will prob be put into legend batteles

Beware that with m1's it will be hard

I imagine they will be closing that loophole when MM gets updated so rank-spread for groups is much tighter.

 

Reason is - it's not fair for other Legends on the team to be stuck with such a low rank if other team does not have low rank as well.

Need balanced teams.

Well M1's geting in is a prob but lot of M2 guy's who are above Major have M2 at 10/10

so these guy's are not a prob

 

Today i actually carried a Legend team in ASL went in there with my Friend @pro_guy

He came first though he had M3 smoky , i was 2nd by just 10 point's

Havent you heard sometimes Recruit vs Legend

I Actually capped flag vs entire team of Legends

It's irrelevant what you might have done once.  Teams need to be balanced and placing a low-ranker on one team makes it unbalanced.

 

I join an MM battle and my team has a few players ~ rank of colonel and other team all Legends?  Adios.

 

You want to play with your friends?

1) Rank up

2) have them start an alt and rank up to play with you

3) break open the piggy-bank and pay for a Pro-battle pass.

 

No need to mess up MM battles with "battle-groups"- MM has enough issues as it is.

Well having equal number of legend's and low ranker's makes it balanced 

[wolverine848 13,097]

Agreed.  :)

[gokuMI6 1,290]

Agreed.  :)

:wub: Thank you

But The low ranker's should have at least M2 IMO

hull that outclasses light and medium hulls because it has huge speed and huge armor. Also you can't shoot of it because it is as tall as an ant. Op deserves a n3rf

I honestly don't mind a nerf in speed, but on one condition, it gets a buff in weight.

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Exactly, medium hulls should be A LOT slower than they are now. The same counts for heavy hulls but not by much. Currently the hull variation is 70-80% Viking.

 

Everyone is on nitro these days so you can get incredibly effective with the speed and armor of a medium hull, no wonder why everyone is using it.

 

I think the gameplay would be more dynamic if we had more hull variation like dedicated attackers, mid-fielders and defenders. Nitro shifts balance towards one team and the spawn killing is unleashed.

 

This was really not the case a few years back. Wasp was insanely fast and Viking and Hunter sat around 6-7 meters a second if I remember correctly. Currently it's like the speed of the old Hornet, it's ridiculous.

 

The least thing they could do is to alter the effect of nitro between the hulls. Medium hulls should gain less speed on nitro than light hulls.

Medium hulls already do gain less speed on Nitro.

Look at M4 wasp and M4 viking

12 + 40% (4.8) = 16.8

9.08 + 40% (3.63) = 12.712

 

12 - 9.08 = 2.92     16.8 - 12.712 = 4.09    The gap in speed grows larger with Nitro in effect.

 

If you are looking at change the % speed that benefits the hull, then you would also have to do same thing for Armor.

Medium hull with armor boost should be great % than light hull. And heavy hull Armor boost should be > than medium hull boost.

They have reduced the viking size? or its only me who felt that?

Nope

Hmm the photo does.....

Could be your resolution.

40% speed increase is still too fast. They need to add different % for each hull.

I suppose the nitro benefit on medium hulls is bigger because they have the most balanced specs.

Viking is basically a light hull with more health.

More size also 

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

I'm very tempted to buy m2 hunter on the 30% sales, but it will depend on how much I'm willing to struggle with the lack of stability for a 50% discount. But once I get m2 hunter, I'll be more than happy to treat my m2.4 Viking as a cosmetic.

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

Has anyone noticed that Viking seems to be getting knocked off course/aim more easily?  Even Smoky is knocking me around as badly or even worse than Rico used to.  A well placed hit from Hammer will turn me almost a full 90 degrees.  I've had Smokys following me and shooting my butt and wiggle me around like a Wasp...worse really.  

 

Maybe it is just EVERYONE has a MU10 turret since all the crystals from the War containers and weekly rewards.  But it sure doesn't seem like the stable hull it used to be.

 

Opinions?

Has not been stable since they swapped Hunter and Viking stats ~ 1.5 yrs ago.

 

Either equip Viking with turrets that don't rely so much on stability, or switch to Hunter before you invest too much into Viking.

It does not get any more stable at m3.
