did my promos, got gold 3
jeez, and I thought I was bad
I find Mute way too annoying to play against so I go Thatcher on 80% of my attacking rounds; I also feel like nobody ever picks Thatcher so I generally go Mute on defense. Otherwise I tend to pick Valkyrie, but on offense if we have a breacher and Thatcher/Twitch I'm often not sure who to pick; any advice? What makes a well-rounded offensive team?

from my experience, having a breacher or two is necessary like thermite or sledge, then you need a utility operator like twitch or thatcher to remove anything that might hinder the breachers like bandit or mute, and the rest is pretty much whatever goes.
[QUOTE=seba079;51846157]What makes a well-rounded offensive team?[/QUOTE]
a breacher/most of the time you'll want Hibana shes very flexible, on maps like bank you might aswell go with 2 breachers. then a mute/electronics counter like twitch or thatch, you can run both but most of the time a twitch who knows what shes doing is enough, ash/(dont think that one needs an explanation)
the other 2 are pretty much up to whatever setups the defenders you think will run, on bomb a montagne is handy, but you can swap him for a fuze. last one should be either bb for pinning enemies or sledge/jackal if you like to take on their roamers first.

Tbh I wouldn't hold promos to much of a standard.
Most people in games nowadays seem to be obsessed with being placed at an extremely high rank and think anyone who isn't placed there is a noob, but really it's extremely hard to make an accurate and fair placement system so after you have played 50-100 games, you'll find you are closer to your actual rank (Although some people are just extremely unlucky with the teams they get)
I found my new love in Buck
That CAMRS shooting sound is just orgasmic. And after playing with Twitch a bit I've fell in love with semi-autos.
Okay, so Fuze on hostage, got it; thanks guys!

Jesus fucking Christ why are shotguns literally the worst weapon in the game. I shot Montagne on the ground [B]four times[/B], then shot Buck point-blank. Montange survived and Buck took 20 damage. This shotgun kill challenge is fucking killing me.

3 shots to down Blackbeard at 10 - 15 feet. Or I could use a Rifle and get 4 shots out in under half that time.

I think pre-nerf Frost soured the attitude towards shotguns so badly that people are really scared of them being as viable as other guns.
I find smokes shotty to work p well, especially paired w the smg11

Funny enough that's the shotgun I was using.

Caveira's shotgun is pretty good, for the record. I pretty much only use shotguns as her or Smoke. I use Caveira's since it reloads fast enough that you can just spam it, since it's magazine fed, and I use Smoke's 'cause the smg-11 is way better than the fmg-9 anyway & it's nice to have a shotgun for punching holes or killing drones. Mira and Jackal having shotguns as sidearms is great for busting hatches and barricades too, you just gotta treat them as a tool more than a weapon generally.
[editline]19th February 2017[/editline]
Also, if you use Caveira's pistol to injure somebody, you can just finish them with the spas-15, that's how I've been doing shotgun challenges.

they're just so unreliable, one of my friends managed to blast 2 guys from 10+ meters, 1 shot per guy but I can't kill a guy using Caveira's shotgun from point blank with multiple shots

Mission success komandir, terrorists no longer in possession of hostage

speaking of Caveira and her shotgun, this just happened

Grinded the hell out of my placement matches. The people just don't get better.
Thankful I salvaged silver 3

Shotguns in general seem really inconsistent. I have always avoided them thinking I want a long range weapon and the few times I have tried them I always get killed faster, but then I see other people use them and get 1 shot kills from what seems like miles away.
Not sure if its just luck or what.
In other news, people on reddit are complaining about ESL being corrupt shitters again. One of the teams was apparently disqualified by an admin, re-qualified after review by another admin, then disqualified again and asked to screw off. Another is complaining that they won 5 - 3, but ESL assigned them a loss and advanced their opponent to the next level, then refused to acknowledge the error.
[QUOTE=NachoPiggy;51845598]I just had a defender match where no one took Rook's armor for the entire round. Like seriously wth. I pinged the armor countless times throughout the round and no one bothered with it. I'm in Asia but I only know English, and I often get matched up with Chinese and Korean players. Tried to tell them in chat but no one seemed to have understood me.

Oh shit I'm on the same boat, we should queue sometime to yell RENZHI at the Fuze that is trying to bomb hostage
[QUOTE=Grim2o0o;51844329]I was so fucking scared when this happened mid-match but there seems to be a bug with Caveira? Unless I am the only one with this.
[vid]https://my.mixtape.moe/perpta.webm[/vid]
To run down what's going on: Every now and then, one of Caveira's "Throwing frag" voice lines gets run through a Text-to-Speech, SOMETIMES, not always but sometimes???
I thought it was some shady virus doing some shit to me but everything looks clean and someone said they heard something similar? Can anyone else confirm?
[editline]19th February 2017[/editline]
Like what the hell this hasn't happened before.
I mean I wouldn't put it past Ubi to fuck something like this up honestly, I just wanna know if it's only on my side.[/QUOTE]
Wait, was this ever solved?! I'm curious on the explanation here
I'm not that amazing at this game but whereabouts does gold 2 sit, is the rank system a bellcurve like CSGO's?
[QUOTE=Super2Donny;51848293]Oh shit I'm on the same boat, we should queue sometime to yell RENZHI at the Fuze that is trying to bomb hostage[/QUOTE]
Sure! Always up to queue with someone near here but can speak English.

No she's still an android.
It's training alright, the operators are put into stasis and their given android counterparts.

Maybe it's some backup system when voice files are missing to prevent crashes?
[editline]20th February 2017[/editline]
Should make a private game with +1 and see if they hear it too
I already did that and he heard 'em too.
At least he claims he does.
That is so weird.
probably either triggered placeholder files/easter egg(for some reason?) or a bug
