All depend against his build. I used claw phys, huger heat claw and a jumper sniper. In 3v3 I won all the fights against him and were many.
Now, few things here also gets annoying in the game and it is about repeating same players against your mech or set mech analyzed by the system. In my case the game have the tendency to repeat over and over. Then when I switch mech to start with the other so game compensate exactly with the mechs will kill me. If I use the heat huger then I get like a million of them on the road like today I got like 6 of them one after another.
If use claw phys then all is phys dual spartan or spartan nightfall then at position range 5 and starting having advantage over me. If not spartan then valiant range with EMP so in the majority of the time I am at disadvantage not neutral for both. When use free energy with low energy game change to energy mech affecting my semi-energy build right on the spot etc and before with my 3 phys the game yamed me with frantics. spartan and valiant one after another and to complete 85-90% with more HP than me per build. The only one with less are energy full build but compensate with weapons power. Now some similar hp but with high resist against my monkey so I might lose.
When I am moving from R5 to R4 it does jump R1 in series from TF or RR one after another to push me down again like a baby trying to walk for first time.
That is one of the reason I make lots of test with modules and switching mechs and it does compensate to keep me down. It is not because amount of people connected since it does have chances to match me with others as I can see the ladder to collect information for my own program to see percentage comparation per build, level, people connected etc.
The game it is not right in the matching and should be more impartial with variation. Sometimes it does work but sadly very rare but today I have more changes than normal because I was changing modules to force the change to be matched against.
I do not care to lose but just saying that the game sometimes gets boring and when I have the opportunity to go for a match in my daily it repeat over and over again so I get bored fast and do not play just farm. Well, I do not have much time to do lots of pvp but you know.
So my entertainment in the game is base in farming making parts and see the acc get bigger step by step making myth parts for fun all of this time and in this way I do not get annoyed with the game messy condition. Yes, need to improve to be more fun so I look the way to make it fun in my own ways and not complain and get angry just looks my way and I am fine. I do not look others to feel less because their progress or achievement instead I enjoy they reached what they reached in their ways and I get my own progress in my way and happy with my accomplishment in the game how fast I do progress making parts farming in the way I do.
I enjoy to play with different players of all ranks when is possible and have a chat here and there with them and have some chat here in this forum.
So I have fun reading from all of you when I have the change to sneak my eyes. 🙃
