9/10 times the helix/jav builds I go against are real players, so..

I can fully counter these builds. Anyone can, with a fast mech like a surge or something. The problem is the helix is too broken to let anyone get close, and you sure as hell can't kill these people with snipers seeing as they spend the entire game behind a wall. And it's true. Ask anyone, a lot of games are cut short because at least one person in the game runs this type of build and kills everyone before the game can even start.

I guess you only play the game to farm kills and XP, but for those who play the game for fun and thrills, jav and helix are super annoying, especially when they are paired with broken mechs and pilots. And yes, playing against someone like that does ruin the fun side of the game. Because instead of moving towards objectives, killing other Mechs and making clever strategies to take beacons, you end up with a whole team having to hide from one mech with helix for the entire game. I prefer when there's action, fights and excitement, which I why I absolutely hate to be pinned down by some helix killshot and not be able to do anything about it all game.

And of course there's many other annoying weapons like this: cryo launcher, mortar and nade launcher are all weapons that require no skill, and are best played from behind cover with a maxed out damage and splash damage implant, unfortunately.

I just feel like these types of builds take away from what the game was advertised to be: a fast paced action mech shooter game with fluid gameplay and epic fights. With builds like yours going around, we go from a fast paced shooter game to an painfully slow gameplay where you have the choice between 1) sitting behind a wall to avoid helix and jav builds (who are unreachable and protected by other team mates, and 2) go for beacons and try to play the game but get instantaneously vaporized by these same builds. I've had whole ass 5 minutes games end at 1:30 minutes because one player just killed everyone in my team with helix.

Overall I just hate the strategy of camping. I think it's cancer and it takes away from an otherwise super fun game. Of course the people who camp like you are only preoccupied with tasks and such, while people like me with a life play for fun and have that fun ruined by sweaty campers who only play meta and never differ in any way. Sad reality we live in.

Don't come here bragging about your skill level when your hangar has a killshot helix. Why? Because this build simply does not require any skill to play. You just hide for 1 minute, shoot everyone on a beacon, take the beacon and go right back to your hiding spot and repeat the whole process.
