4. My incompetence on clicking marines to kill them.

[blingx3]

40% getting cocky
40% grenades mines (explosion stun in general)
10% buck shots
10% other things (bodyblocking, general stupidity from my part)

[Slywater]

The tank. As a T3, it either parked on me, while people stoned me to death, or simply insta-gibbed me.

[carlarc]

1. claymores (REEE)
2. RPG (REEEEEEEEEEEEE)

[TrollerNoob]

1. Buckshot
2. Claymores
3. AP
4. Nade stun
5. Helping another beno
6. My own mistakes

[lurkermain]

1. Claymore stun
2. SADAR instakill misses me but get stunned, go out to make a coffee, make a full meal since I am in the kitchen anyway, come back to stun almost expiring, get gunned down by someone with a pistol
3. Getting hit 3 times by AP then dying because I didn't afk for 1 hour in the hive before playing
3. Hive is dead so I have to die too
4. Not tryharding enough


Before I stopped being a fool:
1. Seeing another xeno engage a superior force and deciding to be nice enough to help them out
2. Trying to help another xeno that is beyond hope
3. "Ok I slashed the B18 30 times, they should be in crit now"

I mean uh, a crusher kills you as much as a SADR kills you. Same for any solo encounter. Y'know.

[lurkermain]

Well the crusher isn't quite offscreen, but yes, it can. I didn't say it can't, many xenos can 1v1 marines to death.

I wasn't really going for a full balance debate, the game has kind of asymmetrical balance so not every marine is meant to be a match for every xeno 1:1, but still.. it's kinda stupid that even if the RPG doesn't kill you instantly from offscreen the stun is so fucking long you die anyway.

I mean, crusher relies a lot on tackles. If you hit someone at max momentum, they'll get tossed aside, maybe break a bone. But they're honestly fine. It's only when you go stomp on them. And even then a medic can still heal them. An unlucky crusher can still not get a single tackle off on a PB marine and get killed too in 1V1. Honestly, look at other xenos for 1V1. Ravager, carrier, praetorian, lurkers, runners, spitters, sentinels, etc. These are all arguably better at 1V1 than a crusher, and require less RNG.

a full speed crusher ram can knock limbs clean off including your head. So it doesn't just "maybe break a bone" lol. Full speed crusher rams are brutal and guarantee a marine gets screwed up.

I've never seen it cause decap. How many darn tiles do you have to walk to hit that kind of speed then? To me it seemed like after 50 ish tiles you don't get any faster...

its rare to decap but ive done it before and seen it happen. Knocking off limbs really isnt rare happens every game. I know usually when I get hit by a full speed crusher (i think something like 20-25 tiles) I am usually in pain crit afterwards with atleast 1 broken bone sometimes like 3 broken bones or missing limbs.

[Dolth]

Full speed crusher, depending of RNG: From at least one fracture to multiple fractures and/or a delimb AND/OR IB and this includes decaps.

And I am excluding the lovely crush + run over if the marine is thrown on the same straight line which in that case is an extreme crit or instant death. AND if the crush stomps you ONTOP OF THAT. It's an instant death. And you need to immediately meet your RNG church and pray.

Not pointing out the fact you -will- be FF'D.
