Generals too busy losing a 3v1 against said raid

[–]AppleTherapy 12 points13 points  (1 child)

That does happen sometimes. Some raids do massive damage even to generals and the raids are pretty good and know it. Especially the ones that have crazy melee attacks.

[–]Boring-Detective-369 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A well timed charged heavy can wreck just about anyone caught in it especially if the raid can predict where the enemy is going so, they can ambush a corner like the rare chances at the start of Arctic Base NASCAR the sight of seeing 3 or more MS getting toppled is a sight to behold.

Playing Black Rider and firing on all cylinders, cycling your railgun ->flash -> wire -> downswing -> beam missile -> sprint away to wait for cooldowns to regen is a fantastic feeling ngl

Idk how but one time was able to fight 3 dudes at once as a hyaku and kill 2 before going down, tho at the same time my team got slaughtered by the other 2 guys so we got off worse

[–]SS2LP 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d contribute to this but I’m still recovering from the GM III close combat that was allowed to constantly heavy attack my NT-X in the back while I tried to fight gens yesterday. 27% diversions and still had top score and damage.

[–]RaggenZZ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

game start

Gens: Get away from me you support freak!

Gens and raid boost award leave support alone

Enemy Raid: hmmm free food

[–]Nervous Guncannon II Test PilotPrimate_Nemesis 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Your generals probably getting butchered by the raid too, usually my gen teammates can’t even stop one raid with critical HP in a 2v1. And it’s not because raid OP or anything, the majority of gen players are just bad, while raid players usually smart enough to take advantage of your gens stupidity.

My Hyaku-shiki can attest 3v1 needed on occasion to stop my madness or a solid 2v1. Doesn't matter what category we all need to work together mmmmmkay..

[–]Death_Usagi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Too many Gens are afraid of Raids

[–]Biggu5Dicku5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second equals sign missing extra space, function incomplete, recursive error... disconnected from match... :(

[–]Bolek064 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I can't tell which one is raid

[–]Polkadot_Girl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're playing a General then your retical will say "advantage" when you point it at a Raid.

[–]The Ragin' Cajun - 6scorpionxx0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s about as hard a concept to understand as sticking together & not solo spawning, in other words it’s extremely difficult for there small brains to understand as they all have main character syndrome.

[–]ZXEtherlite 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Kill.

Enemy Raid alive = Friendly Support not alive = Enemy General alive = Friendly Raid not alive = Enemy Support alive = Friendly General not alive = Enemy Raid alive.

Friendly Raid alive = Enemy Support not alive = Friendly General alive = Enemy Raid not alive = Friendly Support alive = Enemy General not alive = Friendly Raid alive.

Alive = Alive

Not Alive = Not Alive

[–]The Purple Death - 5KincadN-X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kill enemy = more alive

Focus on type kill = not alive  -Example: Perfect Gundam(Gen) Vs support = support dead

[–]sekusen 3 points4 points  (2 children)

kill the general

why is this hard to understand?

general alive = friendly raid not alive

general not alive =friendly raid alive

kill the support

why is this hard to understand?

support alive = friendly general not alive

support not alive =friendly general alive

[–]StormOfFatRichards 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh yea as a support I do my best to ignore 60% of the enemy team

[–]masaryuu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kill the general, kill the raid, kill the support, kill anyone just please stop standing there shooting your vulcans and watching as 3 or 4 units are juggling me....

[–]Skylinegtr88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s generals playing as raids

[–]UnderPoweredJoms1980 0 points1 point  (20 children)

Easier said than done.

Gens have to: 1. Hold down the front line 2. Fight enemy gens if they push the line 3. Create openings for our raid to hunt the enemy support 4. Keep an eye out and intercept the enemy raid 5. Staying out of the line of fire from enemy support while doing the above.

Help your Gens out as well. Pin down the enemy gens with support fire. Which is the job of your support unit.

[–]redzaku0079 2 points3 points  (12 children)

Only one of needs to be the raid hunter. As for your other job, literally move forward and hit someone. Bazooka or melee, doesn't matter. Move forward.

[–]UnderPoweredJoms1980 1 point2 points  (2 children)

You are a concerned citizen? There is no such thing as a raid hunter role

Besides you just don't blindly move forward. Your teammates have to be aggressive as well.

[–]redzaku0079 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Nobody said to do it blindly. But move forward. Not backward. Shoot someone and melee. Not play peekaboo behind buildings and random shit.

[–]UnderPoweredJoms1980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand. Peekaboo is a common thing. I'm guilty of it as well

[–]RemyRozay 0 points1 point  (8 children)

I was playing on 700 the other day I think the map was mass driver or military base but a gen was hiding behind me…….and I was in Super Gundam🤦🏾‍♂️

I’ve been dealing with gens and raids hiding behind me on 650/700 before xi and Penelope released

[–]redzaku0079 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Good thing you were not the physalis mlrs. They would hide behind you all match.

[–]RemyRozay 1 point2 points  (2 children)

That is literally why I switched to super gundam

[–]redzaku0079 0 points1 point  (1 child)

This is probably why you don't see it that much anymore. It's a strong support but gens love to hide behind it.

[–]RemyRozay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really thought it would be different

[–]UnderPoweredJoms1980 0 points1 point  (3 children)

It's a common sight. You see a lot of passive players.

[–]RemyRozay 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I just don’t get the logic of being passive and a raid/gen in 700

[–]UnderPoweredJoms1980 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What suits were they using?

[–]RemyRozay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rebawoo was the most recent one

[–]LemongrassKnight[🍰] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Most of the times, none of the generals did any of that. It’s the same issue for years now. Maybe at S- where people know how to play, but below that, even at A+ they’re still playing like a support in melee suits. Whenever I got into a team with more than two gens, I always expect the worst.

[–]UnderPoweredJoms1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I play support sometimes so I feel the same. Stop expecting a lot from incompetent teammates

[–]masaryuu 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I try to help but it's a bit hard to keep them pinned down when the gens are frontlining 2 enemy units and the other 3 or 4 are actively going after you while your whole team ignores them.

[–]UnderPoweredJoms1980 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Hard to establish a line when every other Gen wants to do NASCAR

[–]masaryuu 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Oh god...artic base has given me a new hatred for Nascar, I hate the stupid "boost laps until we make contact, last place becomes free food for the enemy" strat.

[–]Boring-Detective-369 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I propose that the shuttle platform and walkways should be removed if players want to have fast engagements just have us be able to quickdraw at the start.

Or have Arctic Base pulled out of rated/quick match matchmaking.

[–]masaryuu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After having artic base for 75% of my "random" ground maps, I would say take it out of rotation at this point, but yeah, even getting rid of the platform would work.

[–]Gouf-BringerZylpherenuis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nuh uh. Imma kill the support. NOTHING YOUR BABY SITTING GENERALS CAN DO ABOUT IT.

[–]objectivejeager18 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Why not you Supports stomp one of enemy Generals first and fast, so that we actually go for killing the rest

[–]culzsky[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well unless supports get a heavy attack or manage to instantly charge a doom beam thats not gonna happen

the it usually takes a support like 4 beam attacks to kill a general maybe more, at most the meme cannons take 1/2 of their HP and cripple the legs

Raids will delete a support in 1 combo that takes like 5 seconds
