Put on some boxing tape, pull out your favourite punching bag and [i]let 'er rip![/i] This thread is dedicated to all of your grievances, frustrations, losses and sensational failures. You can recount that time when your team was 60 motes behind the enemy team and you were constantly getting killed by that one guy with a Crooked-F4ng, or that other time when you got your Primeevil up and the enemy team melts theirs in under 3 seconds with a Well of Radiance/Melting Point combo with Ikelos SGs, or even that time when your Meatball spawned and you were so close to killing it, until an Invader killed all 4 of you and healed it back up to 100%!
Because let's be honest, this is a much better idea than just making another thousand threads about why you hate Gambit, right? Now let's hear 'em!
-
I am probably in the minority, but I actually enjoy Gambit. Yeah, some rounds can be very frustrating, but overall I enjoy it. I have seen the same things others have mentioned. Hell, I have even done some of the things mentioned. Luckily I learned from my mistakes and try to do better the next time. Some of my pet peeves.... #1 - if you hear the drifter say you have enough motes to pull a primeval PLEASE stop what you are doing to head to the bank. You might be the one with 10+ motes that can put us over. No need to go for the Ogre. Bank and let's roll. #2 - blockers... If you see a blocker is at the bank stop and kill it please. Do not get it in your head that you will go collect motes and come back and kill it before you bank. Too often I see this and what happens is either you die before you can bank or you get invaded and those 15 motes you worked to collect are lost as you take a sleeper shot. Keep the bank clear always as best you can. #3 - Holding motes. Do you see the progression bar at the top. See the little gray/white sub bar. That is how many POTENTIAL motes your team holds that hasnt banked yet. See how you can see the opposing teams bar and they can see yours? Well some teams use that as a strategy. If they see you have a lot of potential motes they will bank theirs to block your bank and then they will invade in the hopes to kill enough that are holding motes and slow down your progress. It amazes me how many people don't realize this mechanic yet. #4 - Type of blockers - this can be debated, but in my experience the phalanx and knight are the best blockers to use. The ogre is okay, but he is also a big target and slow. You could put 3 phalanx in place of one ogre. Go for the low and mid blockers. They get the job done. (yeah yeah you have your bounties, that's fine.) #5 - Invaders. If you are being invaded (not during the primeval phase) and you have 0 motes on you. GO HUNTING and try to kill that sob. "but I suck as pvp!" So, what! So do I, so do a lot of people. You have almost NOTHING to lose by going after them. If nothing else you might clue the rest of the team into where they are. If it's DURING a primeval phase stop hitting the primeval and look for the invader. Again, even if you suck at pvp if you see them coming take a shot at them. You might not get them but maybe you weaken their shield enough for the next guy to take them out. Point is, just try. Also please stop hiding the in the spawn area. They know this. They count on this. Easy 4 kills with super and heavy. #6 - Invading! - Please do not invade unless you have heavy ammo and your super. The point is to get as many kills as possible. Yes you have an overshield and wall hack, but why not make absolutely sure to stack the deck in your favor as much as possible. #7 (last one) - mobs - some mobs are more troublesome than others. Shriekers and scorch tanks for me are the worst. They will melt you in a second if you give them a chance. Take out these troublesome mobs from a distance then close in for the main kills. Hope this helps a little bit!
