What's your best average damage for ASSAULT mechs

Someone brought up an interesting topic in another post about some general stats and his play being 'average'. I'm curious to see the spread on what us reasonably dedicated players achieve. I almost never look at the pgi stats, but I did after this comment. It's intersting to validate what I feel are my best mechs and usually I'm right, but there are also some interesting ones that rise to the top that surprise me.

There are a lot of possible stats, but I personally feel average damage is the best stat that we have easy access to from the PGI forum. Win/Loss I find meaningless because PGI actively tries to get 50%, KDR is an okay metric, but once again, is easily manipulated by the playstyle of yourself and/or the mech loadout. So, that leaves us with Average Damage - even this has pitfalls for those that precisely shoot at components vs an lrmboat for example, but whatever.

I'll make a poll for each class, but if you care to take the time to pull your stats out of the PGI forum, what is your BEST MECH in this class' average damage (take "Damage Done" divided by "Matches Played").

FYI, if you don't know, you can log into http://mwomercs.com/forums/, click profile in the top right, then click stats, then mech stats... I copy/pasted the table into Excel and then did the calc Damage Done / Matches played and sorted

Edit: I think to be fair, you at LEAST need to have 30 matches in a mech. Otherwise, the results are just too jumpy.

Also, TFun90 gave a great tip to check out a browser extension that reformats the stats page: MadStats ( http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/177559-madstats-free-browser-extension-for-stats-sorting/ )

 

Looking at these stats made me realize my worst light 'Mech (well, excluding the Locust) is about as good as my best assault 'Mech... I should probably stay out of the pilot seat of assault 'Mechs... although I guess I've played less than 30 matches in assaults compared to the thousands in lights, so perhaps it's too early to make a comparison =).

 

Im skewed towards the Atlas side. Most matches i rack up 600-800, with a few in the 800-900 and a few in the 300-500 range.
Awesome was a bit different, most matches were in the 300-400 range, with a few in the 100-300 (if i died early) and some in the 500+, if i lasted to the end.

And Same as Jimbery, my 5D spider, still does 300-500 damage, on average in most matches. With a few 500+ damage games recently.

 

416 on the Atlas D-DC. But I don't use it a lot (22 games).
So I guess it's 409 on the Stalker STK-3F.

 

Ahhh, my babies. These are definitely the Mechs I enjoy playing the most.

Misery tops out on my Assaults. 65 matches, 411 points of damage average.

 

I've played less than 50 assault matches since they've started tracking. The best one so far (with a whole 6 matches) is the BLR-1D with 310 damage per match.

I've been doing pretty well in my 1G lately, but the first dozen matches in it have really dragged my average down.

 

600+ games in with my Metal, 1.98 KDR, 350ish damage per game. Seems to be on average damage wise with my other assaults. I PUG about 70% of the time.

 

Heh, I thought I was doing good with my assaults but looking at some of the aces in the poll - nice job!

Battlemasters, Victors and Atlas. Depending on model, 320-400. The Vic's are the most consistent high damage grinders for me, surprisingly.

 

Victor 9B with a clean 500 damage average. 67 matches with 33,522 total damage.

 

I've just gotten into Assaults, but so far my best is the BLR-1G with an average of 386 dmg/round over 32 matches. Haven't really played everything else enough besides my Atlai to make a real comparison.

 

Best average: BLR-1D at 403. Problem is, that's only over 6 games. 1.33 kills per game, with a W/L of 2 (4/2). K/D of 4 (8/2)

Most accurate is likely my STK-3F. 67 games in. W/L of 1.23. K/D of .98 (One kill away from being even...). 253 damage on average. .7 kills/ game.

 

I only have 2 assaults: Stalker 5M : 306.2 (45446/84) and Atlas D-DC: 305.7 (83938/164)...

These 2 are at the top of my list when sorted, I have about 25 mechs...

 

I answered 500-549 but all my assaults average 550+. My highest is my DWF-B at 697 per match.

 

Stalker 4N average at 549, 6x LL std300 build.

 

Depending on build though. But over 500 is easy on most mech.
Probably 550ish on average... Direwhale / King Crab not included

 

I don't have many assaults, but my best are the DWF-A (Ghost Walker build) with 517 average, and my STK-4N (6 LLas) with 494.

Amusingly, I also checked my lights...only to find that, somehow, I have 5 mechs (Jenner F, Ember, Firestarter A, Raven 3L, and Panther 8Z) that all average out at 413 damage. So I'm consistent there

 

I'm averaging just a cut below 3 K-D, with 380 damage per round with Nova.

Across a couple hundred rounds (so far, which means it's only going up from there, it'll prolly settle around just below 4K-D and 450-500 dmg).

If you're shooting efficiently, damage is a horrible metric, which you mentioned.

It gets convoluted with shit like XL shouldering and ammo explosions as well.

Note - across 2500+ rounds in 3D, I was only doing 340 damage per round. A lot of that has to do with majority of those rounds were top elo, against team play as well. Plus, pinpoint alpha tarting was never about throwing lots of dmg around.

I throw my Nova dmg around at anything I can sneeze on willy-nilly... well, that is if I'm not about to turn and take a huge dump on a threatening/prio target within next 5 secs [heat]. I will spit lasers at a passing light without hesitation unless the sentence above.

Anyways...................

Here's every Assault I've ever played, statline wise, since they started keeping track (you can tell some is missing just cuz... where's my 3rd Awesome variant stats? :/):

As you can see, I don't/didn't play assaults much at all. I really like the 9M, but just for running mixed derp loadouts. If I still played IS I'd play it more now than I did back in the day.

I think my 9M comes in at 320 dmg per round?

I plan on doin DWolf S, and Gladiator when that arrives as well. Otherwise, meh. Btw sorry got busy halfway thru doin the color shit for this post, but now it's finished.

PS - how hilarious is it that I bought shit like a Highlander and used it for 2 rounds, Victor 1, etc. xD

 

Not sure of the value of the stat on its own but then I barely use assaults and even then precision only (dual gauss etc) - I look at a basket of stats every month such as kills per match, damage per kill and damage per match. Its more a comfort blanket I think to watch a steady improvement or work out why it didn't.

Now if PGI would stop adding all the multiples in so I have to remove the duplicates to get proper overall stats....

 

Ok looking at my stats now and whelp... my KDR ratio fell from 2.39 to 2.37 this weekend... ouch. Apparently mediums were fragile this weekend!

Anyway highest average damage...

DRAGON DRG-1N 564
JENNER JR7-K 586 (not a meaningful sample as just 11 battles)
HIGHLANDER HGN-733C 529 (not a meaningful sample as just 1 battle)
FIREBRAND 503
FIRESTARTER FS9-A 525 (just 22 battles)
BANSHEE BNC-3E 538 (not used in a while but a lot of battles in the past)
TIMBER WOLF TBR-C 541 (just 22 battles)
DIRE WOLF DWF-A 527 (just 27 battles)
WARHAWK WHK-PRIME 511 (just 28 battles)
HELLBRINGER HBR-PRIME 547 (just 9 battles????)
WOLVERINE WVR-6R 537
WOLVERINE WVR-6K 558

In honorable position just under at 497-499 JAGERMECH JM6-DD, THUNDERBOLT TDR-5S and TIMBER WOLF TBR-PRIME.

So... just the BNC-3E with lots of battles at 538 in the assault class.

Coincidentally heres a linked set of figures aka kills per match:

DRAGON DRG-1N 2.33
JENNER JR7-K 2.09
JAGERMECH JM6-DD 1.96
FIREBRAND 2.18
GRID IRON 2.00 (not statistically significant)
FIRESTARTER FS9-A 2.27
BANSHEE BNC-3E 2.14
WOLVERINE WVR-6R 2.62
WOLVERINE WVR-6K 2.06

You'd never guess my favourite mechs particularly as one of them gives me +30% c-bills.
