No I don't see that.
Scatmaxes cost 0 certs and you can carry them in your inventory?
Do you understand the word "definition"? I didn't ask for a wannabe-witty descripion of plasma grenades, I was asking in general, how does a weapon (or cert or tactic) become seen as "cheap" by people like yourself. It's not a rhetorical question, it's a normal question where I demand an answer.
Does "xx need to be fixed" mean "xx is cheap"? You keep confusing those little concepts. So please try to think it over a bit finally.

The term 'instagib' will never be an appropriate way to describe something that doesn't instantly gib someone, waving your e-peen around and challenging people to duels won't change that.

I say that something/someone instagibs me when i can do nothing to prevent it. I can do nothing to win agile fight versus a skilled player with lasher, neither can do anyone i think. And there was nothing about my e-peen, i was saying only about lasher, i didnt suggest you duels on equal weapons as you could see in my previous post. Maybe i've stroked lasher's e-peen lol

Anyway, the true power of the lasher shows in groups, not duels.
Maybe you should play in more groups when you use lasher then.
Maybe you should start making sense.
I better log in to get my free rexo. Doubt I will use it though

Dan was most certainly kidding when he said that, but it's just adding fuel to the fire. Though, if he is joking about it, it certaintly points to nothing being done about it. Oh well... after five years of TR, I suppose it's time for a full time change. This lasher is far too much fun to pass up.
Just looking at your sig I want to say the name "GrandEmperorCeejee" counterglobaling "EmperorBasteg" it would make some laughs.
...you lose because you miss...
well, it's easier to miss with a faster shooting weapon (MCG).

Didn't think I needed to explain exactly what I was hinting at.
I still don't get it
the battles that matter and decide things happen indoors and I am one of the few ppl to admit that I suck in combat never really used JH but with mcg vs lasher/JH indoors i can get a 1/1 if im lucky, i picked up lasher few days ago despite how I hate any kind of energy weapon I tried it out and i was averaging 3/1 in tower a base fights. I run at about 60-100fps in combat in normal and red alert so if that is a reason my mcg skills suck i dont know but like I say i am a bad person in cobmat unless I have a Lasher in my hand.
I will say the Lasher wasn't a great weapon before either and why is it that the pop on VS has sky rocketed since the new lasher got implemented and I even hear that the DT have changed from VS because they are fed up of the overpopulation. I dont get that if the lasher isn't the easiest weapons to get kills with why the hords of ppl changing empire to use it.

If you and your clone used pshield and meds the mcg would still win, by a larger margin. The new lasher is easy to land with at short range, but is ultimately the least damaging of the three weapons against agile armour - you lose because you miss or because your opponent got the jump on you in some way. Lasher vs MCG in rexo is a different kettle of fish.
Lets try!
If we with my clone start shooting together that me will be dead who has mcg in hands. He will be lashed if the other one miss shots and his cof will be to0 huge to land shots perfectly.
See, you hit nme with lashes even if you MISS your shots. On the other hand, lasher blows up mcg cof and mcg user miss much more than was intended..
