    I think that this leaderboard challenge is a stroke of brilliance from PGI. You may never see as much diversity on the battlefield as you will this weekend.

    I'm super glad they're doing this instead of the weight-class challenge. That thing REALLY borked up matchmaker and games with very samey teams because anyone serious about it dropped in the same three or four mechs per weight class...at least, that was my impression.

    Even if every serious contender plays the same variant/build for their chassis, it's still a way more diverse playing field overall.

    I bet this is a data gathering gold mine for the upcoming quirk changes. Maybe we'll even see a revised tier list next week.

    This . . . yes. This will probably be one of the best challenges to participate in, as it actually pushes people to play their favorite 'Mechs, rather than simply taking the "best" or most Meta-type ones.

    That being said, though, I personally hate droppping Solo, so you won't see my name up there. BUT, I'll still spend the weekend tearing through whatever players still happen to be dropping in the group queue. ;)

    Doesn't matter which weight class I choose, waiting times are a pain in the ass for me. Cancelled in a medium after more than 3 minutes. Aweful.

    The problem with these is that people go all out kill trolling to try for perfect scores. It's gonna be another aggravating weekend ;)

    Not to mention you have to play A LOT and use arties... not something you can do every weekend (once was enough for me).

    As usual, I played about 10 matches and gave up. Too many people playing like idiots to want to play with them right now

    You mean different LRM boats :D

    Any game is still like that, and if you don't adapt, you might as well not land a single hit, because without teamplay LRMs are deadly, and teamplay is negative.

    Dropped 2 times in my LB20X SCR just to have it removed 2 times from friendly fire(sad how it happened the same way both time, I shield with the right in brawls were I'm going to kill the target with the last shotgun fire, so left part is pointed to friendly, who shot like I'm invisible to get the kill, crits my LB20X, I turn, it doesn't shot and I get an extra hit from the enemy) dropped in SCRs with SRMs 6 (Aylek was in the same team too, and at least we won :) ) and all I could do is take down a banshee and then I just had to cover for 75% of the match, as soon as the end phase started I went to pick single targets in braws and bam, leg gone, after the target is dead, and it wasn't even crit. Friendly LRM shower !

    ...I just wanted to master my SCRs this weekend :arghh:

    I then dropped few times in LRM40, sure works in this scenario, but it's boring.

    Well, I don't know if it's because of the tourney, but I had 100% of bad games this morning, all I did was rage quitting over and over.

    I ran into Aylek once, and continued my spree of having the worst ever games whenever I see a mechspeccer ;) I need to stop doing that. I may just make one of my SCRs into an LRM boat to at least farm some kills and exp :p

    Oh sorry, didn't recognise you.

    Am considering to push another chassis to top 10 atm, but obv not a medium, as waiting for games takes ages there. Maybe Commandos?

    Honestly, I'm glad you didn't notice...I didn't even do 200 damage that game.

    Had nothing but losses today anyway (not even one win, out of 20+ games), so I'm having trouble wanting to play :( Maybe later I'll find some smarter teammates...but the last game sealed the deal. Conquest on TT, we got 6 kills...then they massed up in Theta and farmed idiots funneling in one by one. So we lost from kills 6-12...
