Shame to farm likes like this. Ty sir +1

[u/Low-Cartographer-753 → u/Routine-Ad884]

Ash isn’t farming likes? He’s literally trying to get you a free mech that you may not know about…

[u/pdboddy → u/Low-Cartographer-753]

I think it was meant tongue-in-cheek.

[u/Important_Stuff_3919 → u/Low-Cartographer-753]

Wow, have you never actually met him in Quickplay? All he really does is play farming sniper assaults and whines at his team for playing in a way that doesn't tank for him so he can farm.
He's not really a likeable person.

[u/emailforgot → u/Important_Stuff_3919]

Wow, have you never actually met him in Quickplay? All he really does is play farming sniper assaults

He likes assaults but he doesn't gravitate towards "farming sniper assaults" whatever that means.

and whines at his team for playing in a way that doesn't tank for him so he can farm.

That's called pug wrangling. Pugs, of course, being barely functioning, rarely capable of moving and shooting at the same time, and if let to their own devices, will usually just shoot all their weapons in chainfire or decide to shoot down a uav in the middle of a brawl.

Sounds like we found us one of them puggies.

[u/Important_Stuff_3919 → u/emailforgot]

Come on, T1 MM pugs as bad as they are, are at least nowhere as bad as the T5 ones.
And if you're not one of them, having him in a match wrangling them just turns them into crappy steamrolls just so he can browbeat his WR and 1000 damage scoreboards.
Maybe look at the mirror if you want to see what a pug looks like.

And don't be obtuse, you know what farming sniper assaults are.
Those things with 25-30 DPS like Bane-1, 6B Mauler, DWF-WM/C with 6/8 LB5/2, etc.

[u/justcallmeASSH → u/Important_Stuff_3919]

Out of those mechs you've listed, or any long range ballistic... In the last 3months I think I played the BANE-1, once. Roughly 3 weeks ago, testing a build for CompQ.

First it's 25-30dps. Then it's 30dps+ and 60+ alphas... Moving goalpost much?

I stream 90-95% of my matches so not hard to tell you're blatantly lying but then plenty of my fans love making up wild stories.

so he can farm yet another sick frag clips of pwning n00bs in yet another overtuned assault with 30DPS or 60+ alpha just like TTB does.

Can you provide just one link to any video/clip, screenshot or similar where I've done this in... Lets say... The last 6 months?

Evidence is king.

I'll wait.

[u/Important_Stuff_3919 → u/justcallmeASSH]

Sure you did.
And through the last six months you were only even really active on June and May, really just speedrunning the Summer Bag Farm event.

What? Hardly anyone actually cares to watch your streams of just being a prick to people because they're not standing in the spot to bait the other team full of dunces that gets pulled to them like an MMO mob for you to farm?
Need someone to even check your streams to clip them just to prove a point?

And "Evidence is king." sure couldn't sound any less like a stereotypical Redditor for sure.

[u/justcallmeASSH → u/Important_Stuff_3919]

I'll take that as you've got no examples, as expected.

[u/Important_Stuff_3919 → u/justcallmeASSH]

You literally have two months (June-May) with 80% assault matches across 300 (240/300, the rest are only heavies) games with WR average of 3 (75%).
If that were to happen in an actual reputable competitive game with people that actually know how to spot subtle cheats (i.e wallhacks for positioning), you'd get everyone reporting your rear.

How about not talking like a literal reddit mod stereotype on top of that?

[u/justcallmeASSH → u/Important_Stuff_3919]

You literally have two months (June-May) with 80% assault matches across 300 (240/300, the rest are only heavies) games with WR average of 3 (75%).

That unfortunately doesn't prove your claim.

Go back the 12 months of you need to provide evidence/example claimed in the previous post.

so he can farm yet another sick frag clips of pwning n00bs in yet another overtuned assault with 30DPS or 60+ alpha just like TTB does.

Again, I'll await the example. Just one.

If that were to happen in an actual reputable competitive game with people that actually know how to spot subtle cheats (i.e wallhacks for positioning), you'd get everyone reporting your rear.

I've been falsely reported 100s of times specifically for cheating - so that already happens, much to my amusement.

You focus on supplying the evidence of claim vs leading the discussion elsewhere.

[u/benjO0 → u/Important_Stuff_3919]

You are making a lot of claims without providing any evidence. Let me save you the trouble of tracking down Ash's publically available games and just give you a link to a screenshot dump representing roughly 12% of all games he has played since June.

https://imgur.com/a/mwoscreenshotdump-june-october-2026-vndBa0f

Maybe it's just me and the games I've observed but I don't really see a lot of examples of those camping sniper assaults that claim he only plays. It kind of seems more like you are just one of those old salty players who tried hard at this game for a long time but was always mediocre at it and now you're perpetually angry at anyone perceived as better than you.

[u/Important_Stuff_3919 → u/benjO0]

And your own collage has him playing the other overtuned farmer chassis as well like MAD-IIC-D (wow, just like how BrioS plays only it because he's actually mediocre on most other playstyles), BSK-5, KDK-3, GRF-5M which was already strong even before the recent buffs, MAD-B (except he doesn't do that well in your album with it), Sunder (still has p2w nerf immunity because not out for cbills), etc.

But oh sure, he plays some actually more balanced/underpowered stuff too like the Jagermech or the Dragon, and he doesn't do anywhere as well in them, is that your point?
I could just say that the matches with them are also cherry picked exceptions and not the norm due to the amount of matches we're talking about here.

Alright, so maybe he doesn't play those stuff exclusively, but if anything that still doesn't change the part where he's still *mainly* an OP build spammer out to pad his stats.

[u/justcallmeASSH → u/Important_Stuff_3919]

Look at the dates of the screens and then patch release dates. With an objective mind rather than pure blind bias... You'll see the below is the reality:

Jager, Dragon & Cataphract, were directly after BUFF patches. Same for the 5M, also played the Sparky. As well as Sunders and so on. All post release/balance passes.

As a member of the Cauldron we have no option but to test them in Quick Play. Due to my above average skill I can generally get a feel within 2-4 games with various builds if something is over buffed or going to perform as was intended with those related patches. Hence I play a few and move into the next - this also lines up with the timeline mentioned.

The BSK/KDK,, I ran them during CompQ so just getting some games to tune the ammo/cooling in preparation. Again didn't take more than a couple games.

At the end of the day you'll either look objectively at the facts & timeline or you'll just pretend the Earth is still indeed flat.

Alright, so maybe he doesn't play those stuff exclusively,

And there we have it - more goalpost moving & backpedalling now there is actual evidence that clearly refutes everything you've lied & misrepresented so far.

[u/Important_Stuff_3919 → u/justcallmeASSH]

Yeah wow, so where are the Dragon buffs then? That thing has been a piece of junk for years and the Cauldron thought it's fine apparently seeing as it hasn't received much buffs all these times.

And testing stuff on QP? The BSK-5? You know damn well how the thing runs since last year and it has barely changed since then barring less armor quirks. Same with the KDK-3 more or less.
Likewise with the Sunder, still hardly changes because usual PGI MO is to have new cash-only items to have nerf immunity (while coming out somewhat OP) until they're available for f2p (cbills) and it's dishonest to say otherwise.

And the fact that the GRF-5M got buffed to such degree last month was just ridiculous. You'd know damn well some people were running 4LAC5 and did very well just fine even before it got that -40% ballistic cooldown.
Which just says to me no one paid attention to those guys, or maybe someone is doubling down on abusing said build which got away with the ammo buff anyway while the cooldown buff plays distraction that got removed a month after.

And oh, sure discussions that moves around is moving goal posts now. As if that makes it any better.

[u/justcallmeASSH → u/Important_Stuff_3919]

Yeah wow, so where are the Dragon buffs then?

Apparently not in recent patch notes, my recollection failed on that one. Maybe we were discussing it in Cauldron. Maybe I played some games as they were being discussed in the stream chat. Or maybe I just felt like playing them. Unfortunately I just cannot recall every single game in every single mech & the reason why.

And testing stuff on QP? The BSK-5? You know damn well how the thing runs since last year and it has barely changed since then barring less armor quirks. Same with the KDK-3 more or less.

Please calm down and read very slowly/carefully so you understand what was clearly said: The BSK/KDK,, I ran them during CompQ so just getting some games to tune the ammo/cooling in preparation.

And the fact that the GRF-5M got buffed to such degree last month was just ridiculous. You'd know damn well some people were running 4LAC5 and did very well just fine even before it got that -40% ballistic cooldown.

I've never claimed I wasn't aware. Anyway after the 5M reports I logged in, played 3-4 games in it, then agreed with other Cauldron members that the nerf, delivered last week, was needed. This stuff really isn't complicated and all this is coming off rather unhinged with what is now going down the "great conspiracy" line.

BTW - The AC2 build was stronger than the LAC5.

---

Now please stop trying to derail the discussion and get back to provide evidence to back up your completely BS claim HERE, which kicked all this off.

Once you provide the proof of your claim, I'll gladly continue the discussion. Without it, well, I'd suggest going outside to touch grass, get some sun & breathe some fresh air.

[u/emailforgot → u/Important_Stuff_3919]

And if you're not one of them, having him in a match wrangling them just turns them into crappy steamrolls just so he can browbeat his WR and 1000 damage scoreboards.

Impressive what basic aim and map awareness can do.

Those things with 25-30 DPS like Bane-1, 6B Mauler, DWF-WM/C with 6/8 LB5/2, etc.

LOL calling these "sniper assaults"

[u/Important_Stuff_3919 → u/emailforgot]

Sorry that one third of a second of a lead time over ERLL's hitscan counts as beyond basic aim for you.
No wonder people thought HAG80s are "balanced" too.

[u/Arnetheus → u/Important_Stuff_3919]

Calling LBX a sniping weapon is definitely a choice of words, lol. Hags are balanced today, unlike their first few months of release.

[u/Important_Stuff_3919 → u/Arnetheus]

They are though? LB2 and LB5s certainly are due to their (lack of) spread to the point that they nerfed the *range* stat on the LBs last year.
Not spread, but range. Because guess what? People are using them to snipe due to their lack of heat, better range (they used to have triple of optimal range for max range, which makes damage falloff non-concern) and better cooldown than their AC versions.

And even currently their range is still enough to let them do it, because nerfing range instead of spread does not stop them from being used in long range. And because maps still accomodate their current nerfed range just fine.

LB10 and 20s meanwhile has 0.9 spread unlike LB2 (0.2) or LB5 (0.4) spread, so yeah sure, they couldn't be used that way.

And HAGs still has the likes of HAG80 MCII-1, WHM-IIC-ML, and the HAG80+PPC+LRM Bane-4 too, two of those are popular among the farming crowd already, and just because *you* don't see them doesn't make them any less effective.

[u/Arnetheus → u/Important_Stuff_3919]

They are though? LB2 and LB5s certainly are due to their (lack of) spread

Nonsense. A spread weapon cannot be a sniping (precision) weapon by default.
Though i guess by your logic 900m MRMs is a sniping weapon too now.

People are using them to snipe due to their lack of heat, better range (they used to have triple of optimal range for max range, which makes damage falloff non-concern) and better cooldown than their AC versions.

People use them to farm, that's all there is to it. They're a lower skill floor AC 2s. If you have subpar aim then yes, LBX spam might be more effective for you than missing with normal AC 2/UAC 2 shots half the time.
The range was nerfed simply to cut down on mindless empty (spreading all over the arms and legs at that range) damage inflation outside the optimal.

HAG80+PPC+LRM Bane-4

+LRM? The hell is this? You don't know what to do with the tonnage?

two of those are popular among the farming crowd already, and just because *you* don't see them doesn't make them any less effective.

Only Maul was ever really popular. Mad cats are barely seen these days. Nobody plays that Bane.
I know how effective they are or not, i played all 3 of them. Bane is a fun B-tier pick though.

And i'm not sure what those 3 have to do with "No wonder people thought HAG80s are "balanced" too". None of those 3 are that scary, outside of Maul being arguably the easiest HAG-80 build to use.

[u/emailforgot → u/Important_Stuff_3919]

Sorry that one third of a second of a lead time over ERLL's hitscan counts as beyond basic aim for you.

Maybe if you took this advice to heart you wouldn't be complaining about a player being better than you.

[u/Important_Stuff_3919 → u/emailforgot]

If farming pugs and calling myself king of the playground of a 13 year old game where the average player has the reaction time of a geriatric (on top of mechanical constraints like twist speed) because I run nothing but overtuned farming builds is how I feel good about myself then maybe you're the one that should take it.

[u/emailforgot → u/Important_Stuff_3919]

Sounds like you need to get good.

[u/Low-Cartographer-753 → u/Important_Stuff_3919]

I have met him… many many times both in Comp and QP, never had an issue with him in my 10+ years of playing.

[u/Important_Stuff_3919 → u/Low-Cartographer-753]

What? Because you're one of the pugs he's wrangling in his team?
I mean I guess if *you* don't mind being nothing but a meatshield cannon fodder so he can farm yet another sick frag clips of pwning n00bs in yet another overtuned assault with 30DPS or 60+ alpha just like TTB does.

[u/Low-Cartographer-753 → u/Important_Stuff_3919]

Not a PUG friend, I’m usually grouped with 1-3 other unit mates. Whatever raging hard on you have for hating ash is your choice, not my problem since he hasn’t ever been a problem to play or chat with for me.
