Mines suck.

PROS:

Deals a ukcf load of damage
CONS:
Enemy has to be a infckgu idiot to run into it
Long cooldown
Clearly visible
If enemy is using mines you're dfeukc ( since there's no diff. Between enemy and friendly mines)


So yeah mine sucks

 

Sorry had to scramble a few words to evade a ban. (Mod Note: It didn't work.) Try your best to read them.

 

Lol, a lot of damage is not the only pro. It can block off areas. Speeders often run into them. They last a long time. They actually have fairly short cooldown with training. They can be hidden in the tall grass. They're one slot point. They deal area damage.

 

I wish mines detonated with direct impact for like 50% damage.
Speeders are the best mine layers but using half of your weapon slots for a mine is cringe worthy.
Grenades are a great weapon on a speeder and adding similar properties to mines would definitely help in situations where you need the extra firepower.

 

I had a battle where I died, and there was a mine spammer defender against another normal defender and a normal shooter.

The mine spamming defender won. Totally going on my youtube channel this Saterday.

Sorry it's a long one. Regular infamy battle, 4 kills with mines. Finished off a 11K shooter at the end with 3 mine hits.

 

Con: They apply damage to a random enemy and you often want to apply damage to a specific enemy.

I have won many matches against mine spammers which dealt ZERO damage with their mines during the whole match. I also lost a ton of matches due to mine spammers in my team. They tend to leave the team to lay their mines (just to be overwhelmed by 5 enemy ships appearing), they stay behind when pressure should be applied against enemy fixers, they are unable to finish off enemies with low hp (because they lack other weapons needed for this) etc.

 

Since I've played about 75% of my battles over the last 6 months as a double-mine speeder, I can agree with you somewhat. I reached 3700 infamy in a MK5 speeder(prior to 4.0) with the double-mine setup.
- 1 out of every 10 battles, I would do zero damage. Sorry guys, sometimes it happens. I don't accept friend requests after those battles
- Win rate is approximately 50/50 with any weapon setup. When your rate goes up to 55/45 is when you gain infamy.
- Yes, sometimes I cannot finish off low health enemies because of my setup. On the other hand I have won my fair share of 1v1 by placing mines in my path while being followed. My mine setup is not intended to end up in 1v1 situations at the end.
-Every 15 battles, when going on my mine run, I run into the other team of 5 ships. This is not common for me, since I follow typically the same runs on every map. Usually I will take more risk when I have a fixer on my team.
- I LOVE PLAYING against teams with enemy fixers. As a double-mine speeder, I did a thread one time posting my win rate against teams with a fixer and it was like 70% win rate. When I see a fixer, I know exactly where my mines are getting laid, right next to him.

 

Can I see your setup? I'm really curios about your yellows and blues choice.

 

Here is a screen shot from the glory days. Post 4.0 update I've dropped about 400 infamy and can't seem to get back above 3400.

 

Brah, it really good to know that you could setup mine next to me, I’ll get ready my sweetie explosive cannon right behind you. LoL

 

Water is wet.

 

Yeah, yeah, im a speeder with exC and epic mine and i usually get 1 or 2 kills a game, but saying mines suck is like saying that mercy was not overpowered. But mine spammers...

 

Mine is OP, need proof? i only got a lvl1 mine with 3 green perks on it.



80% of that is mines' damage

 

Hey! I resemble that remark!

 

Mines should have reduced duration in all TDM events.... no one is afraid to eat them with respawn.

 

Hello, Diet Coke, is that you?
