Merry Christmas & happy holidays to everyone 🙂
 

Similar to the old forum, feel free to ask me anything. (I do reserve the right to not respond to some questions/give vague answers where applicable.)
Some quick FAQs I usually get:
Q: How much have you spent on SM?
A: 5 figures USD.
Q: Where do you live?
A: NY, USA.
Q: How old are you?
A: Mid 20s.
Q: Where do you work/what do you do?
A: I work in private equity for a firm on Wall Street. Private Equity is basically investing in companies, improving them, and then selling them (so basically investment banking + consulting). Feel free to learn more about it online!
Q: What's your name?
A: Sorry, I'm trying to keep my identity secret. (So that is why sometimes I may not answer some questions too clearly.)
Q: Do you have a YouTube channel?
A: Yes, you can view it here: https://www.youtube.com/c/CleverNameSM
Q: Can you give me tokens/items/accounts?
A: No.
Q: Are you a SM/TS/GG/Forum Mod/Dev/Admin?
A: No.
Q: Can you help me with builds?
A: I prefer giving build advice to Rank 1 players, as that's where I have the most experience. There should be a Build Help section on this forum; I'd recommend you go there to ask for help. I made a topic on Current Meta Builds - I always play the best build in the game.
Q: Why do you play SM/why did you spend so much?
A: SuperMechs for me is something I enjoy playing. I enjoy playing it not so much for the technical aspects, but it’s more of a nostalgic game for me as I played it when I was a bit younger and really enjoyed the game (and with nostalgia, comes happiness). I don’t remember why I quit, but when I found the game again, it’s really been great. I also really enjoy the community here, being able to be creative with builds, and having a close fight every now and then. =P 

For the forum members who celebrate Christmas, Reign Reforged wishes you a Merry Christmas! 🎅
Have a good time with the ones you love 💙
Cheers 🍾

Welcome to the new SuperMechs community.
 
We create a new clan thread to find new players and to promote clan activities.
Due to the fact that the Trolls fight every week for the highest place on the podium - we have certain requirements for potential newcomers. If anyone is interested - leave a message here and we will discuss all aspects in private communication.
Feel free to offer yourself. If you need help building .. if you want to be competitive - you're on the right track.
We also have a little secret - we don't know what an S  box looks like .........
 
We will gladly accept new members to our family and give them the joy of playing and communicating (medal pixels guaranteed)
Regards
Trolls Team

 

Hello everyone, I'm Benji, but only in this forum, the old forum maybe will be obsolete

hey, i'm WindForge, i'm a 15 years old guy and i live in Quebec (Canada). I'm playing SuperMechs since the end of 2017. I also have a SuperMechs Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzsrFcyccu1FN3fBvpNDJnA
 
if you have any questions about me write them down below!

Cool. Welcome. Eh, let say hi I see you again in this forum. 😂 Hmm, c'mon. Really, no more likes allowed today. 😏

Plenty of energy in Rank 5+. However, none in top 5 (if that's what you meant). When people say energy is weak, it's really only at very competitive levels. At any non-competitive level, energy is fine (imo). The main reasons energy isn't competitive are:
1) Lack of raw damage (vs. peers)
2) New modules have made energy cap + regen easy to get
3) High hp builds can get away with using no drone to still win fights as most energy builds are 3k hp or less
Physical by itself isn't that strong, but with the rise in new high hp high resist builds, it just comes down to sustainable damage per turn. We all know physical spits out highest damage per weight, so naturally you will see physical become dominant. In the past, weight limits didn't allow physicals to get up to 4k and still be rounded, but new L-Ms dropped weight and allowed for it. Additionally the new L-M backfire resist drainer was a big buff to physicals because now they can output really high damage over time; without those resist drains, physicals aren't that strong.
Heat used to be meta as you could overheat people reducing their playable turns, but now that doesn't matter as the hp gap is too high even if physicals waste turns. Energy used to be alright as it was harder to get energy cap/regen, but now new mods that's a cake walk. "Rounded" builds beat energy nearly 85%+ of time.

imo, L-M items should always be better than E-M items, in every way possible or at least in the important ways. 
I think a good indicator of what needs balance is usage in tops ranks. All of these 4 weapons are barely used, so if anything, I'd recommend a buff. 

Starting off my first flex right 😉

No, like that's the point of pay to win games. That's how they keep the servers up and pay the staff. There needs to be objectively better versions of "free" items to give players incentive to spend money.

But why are you only taking about the hybrid cannons, not annihilation and disintegration, charge engine and superb charge engine, even single modules and l-m combined modules? Their l-m counterparts were much stronger than e-m counterpart, a lot far from e-m and l-m hybrid cannon.
I don't think hybrid cannon's were broken, I saw they were completely outdated, as I seen on top ranks.
Energy hybrid cannon's were overweighted, 66kg is way too heary for an energy weapon with that much heat cost, even energy itself was the weakest element, you only need to equip heat modules on physical and heat nowadays, for a rounded build. But for energy, you need to equip both energy and heat modules, that's a lots of kg. Also most weapon's energy counterpart were heavier than their physical and heat counterparts. 
You would have overweight difficulties if you tried to build a rounded energy mech with hybrid cannons.
Heat hybrid cannons were absolutely useless in arena, since meta heat builds nowadays require high damage and high hp, with that much energy cost, you need to equip energy modules, which will affect the overall hp badly.
I see both hybrid cannons doesn't need nerf at all, they need buff instead, removing them from the game is totally nonsence.
If you really want to nerf them, Why not nerf the other items I mentioned before? Since they were way more broken than hybrid cannons.

This is the entire point, you pay, you get objectively better items. SuperMechs is not an esport, it's a pay to win flash game. 

+1 to everything jiyoon said. Take one look at top player replays and tell me if HHC and HEC are broken in any way. Spoiler alert, they're both trash in this meta.

We so need heat boosted. I like going against you phys guys but dammit, you make it rough.

Hey folks,
With the new forum, I guess I can finally give myself a proper introduction. By way of background, I played SM during legacy, quit, and returned around Dec 2019. Since then, I've grown to enjoy the game a good amount and am pretty active. I may have spent a cent or two on this game. I'm in the clan Trolls Fast and hopefully you'll see me around on the leaderboard. 😉 
On a personal note, I'm a guy in my mid-20s and live in NY, USA. I work in private equity for wall street firm and have a decent finance background in other fields. I'm really good at chess and enjoy watching some TV shows/movies in my spare time. I'm pretty laid back and enjoy a good laugh. I won't disclose my name as I wish to remain private (but feel free to call me Clever). 
I also have a SM YouTube Channel - feel free to check it out! Cheers 🙂
