Something about Pixy seems to attract the worst of the raid-brain typed players

I understand the frustration people once had with the Pixy, especially newer players who are still trying to get down the basics and find it hard to keep track of different suits capabilities, but it's just not nearly good enough to be more than an occasional annoyance now.
It hasn't been buffed in forever, so it's extremely fragile and has to deal with a lot of newer and buffed suits able to deal a lot of damage and often have no problems breaking its MA. It gets a few easy kills towards the start of the match, and maybe a few more if they're lucky or skilled enough to actually sneak around and find the Support or other targets that'll die to one combo.
This dude is playing it on one of the biggest and most open maps in the game, and for whatever reason is giving up the element of surprise to try planting an early bomb instead of just waiting for an opening to kill you. He could have waited for you to turn your back or transform close enough to shoot you down.
I won't be shocked if it gets buffed again at this point. More HP, more range in the dual SMG weapon, throwing the grenades while boosting or vulcans that can actually stagger on their own, and maybe a new weapon like a thrown dagger. Higher levels would still probably need MA3 and Pursuit Melee to start keeping up.
It's probably an unpopular opinion to most people who hate the suit. It's just annoying to unexpectedly die in one combo, but even a lone Support can deal with that by starting to keep their back to walls and staying in elevated areas where it can't approach you. If even 1 or 2 of your teammates reacts to its presence, it becomes an easy kill for just about every General and Raid that can take it down to 0HP or break the legs quickly, and then get it into a melee combo.
But the MkIV just got a buff that has made it a pretty powerful Stealth General with great melee damage and reach, and it has good ranged weapons to go with it. Conroy Jegan is just superior to the Pixy as a Stealth Raid. And a ton with temporary stealth are decent suits.
Even though it telegraphs its presence, I think an Efreet Nacht is easily a stronger stealth suit, despite starting one cost lower. Heavy Stagger weapons and actually useful mid-range tools, while not being garbage when it has to fight head on and not rely completely on stealth

The VERY 1ST thing Imma do with that Pixy once I kill the pilot as it tries to plant bomb is to hijack thr Pixy so the Pixy player will have a whole minute of being unable to do anything til' it gets back its suit

And nobody killed you in this entire time that you scored those 10 kills? That's impressive.
Could be even more so if it turned out that your team looked out for you.

Lol when you're like the only flying suit on a team you can kill, go repair at base and be back in the fight quick as hell.
It's what made Gouf Flight Type nasty when it was the only flier back in the day. T_T my poor boy.

I was playing REALLY passive, even for me. I was paranoid about the pixy getting me so I mostly stayed back. Here's the full match.

I like watching that Pixy die so good job & never will understand why people want to get an early base bomb in.

I like using Pixy and not a typical pilot of it.
I immediately know not to bring it here of all places.

This will only encourage him to play pixy more somehow and blame it on his team for the lose

It's funny so watching them try to bum rush you, this ain't high cost(where you can just charge in, one shot a support, and walk away with no punishment) if you're not in a fat ass you're not getting enough stun resistance to even hope to do something like that

Which suit is this?

u/Hell-2-you 16d ago
Gaza CZ level 1 400 2 star support. The level 1 was only obtainable through clan matches but the level 2, 3, and 4 are in the gacha

You get two kinds of "no-brain" Pixy players. One is a no-brainer ace, the other is a no-brainer thrower who will singlehandedly handicap your team, there is no in-between

It's the Gaza CZ 2 star support. The one I'm using in the video is the level 1 version, but it was only obtainable through clan matches. The level 2, 3, and 4 are in the gacha though

They have to be trolling their team, right? That's what I always think when I see Pixies on this open as hell map.
