National Top 8 game: Heaver vs Howard.

By TrollCandy, in X-Wing

Towards the end of the game it looked like Paul was using TLT against omega leader...and Howard was rolling 4 defense dice both times. My understanding was that there aren't range bonuses for secondary weapons? Can someone shed light on this situation for me. Thanks

Edit: time stamp 43:10 in video

Obstruction. There was a rock in the way.

Not to be rude, but if ever there was a game where you could just assume the players know what they're doing...

Yeah but even top players get things wrong. ****, I think there's even a game between Duncan and Paul at a regionals where Paul kept Zuckussing Omega Leader.

I don't assume anything in life. I was looking for clarification cause I didn't understand. I came to the community for guidance. All this talk about x-wing having a supportive community and that was your response. Good on you bud ?

Many people have been saying- X-wing does, Internet forums do not. Too many bad hombres. Sad!

To be fair your name is Trollcandy, we're just a little jaded about armchair geniuses looking for mistakes in the play of better men on streams, and you picked two of the very best players to question.

We're gonna build a firewall and make PGS pay for it. #MXGA

To be fair, though, honest mistakes do happen even at top levels of play after fatigue becomes a factor. It doesn't feel right to share stories since all I have are poorly remembered second and thirdhand stories, but @cattachanninja might be able to share a few.

Edit: If anyone wants to start a petition I'll sign it.. I miss those heated discussions. PGS and FGD and some others could be mean and still talk about actual mechanics/the state of the game.

Hmm... on one hand, kept all the forum "teh game iz berkin " condensed into a single thread on the front page.... the other, he had a nasty habit of poking into places he had no business being in (like a YT-2400 repaint thread for instance. We get it, you hate turrets, no need to **** all over someone's creative talent because they happen to like Dash).

I say leave him banned and he can continue to troll Reddit.

I know who the Howard brothers and heaver is...I wasn't questioning them because I thought THEY were doing something WRONG. I was questioning the situation because I DIDNT UNDERSTAND. there is a clear difference.

Edit: Im no armchair genius. Im a new player. I didn't understand what I was watching. I knew that I was missing something so I came here to ask. It was not an assumption that Heaver and Howard were doing something wrong. I Knew I was missing something.

FWIW, at least lately he's been contributing to Reddit without being a d!ck. (And, BTW, he was here trolling us just fine a little while back under another handle or two.)
