Let’s see if we can get some discussion going.
Recently, at least, my main has been Scout. I run M1000 with Electrocuting Focus Shots - the way I’ve built it provides a nice breakpoint for acid spitters. After playing Scout for a while I find it a little hard to go back to a slower class - more than once I’ve tried to grapple away and realize “wait you idiot you’re playing Engineer”.
After Scout, I like playing Gunner the most, followed by Engineer. I don’t really like playing Driller much - despite having many promotions on my other classes, I haven’t promoted Driller yet! I don’t hate the class, or anything, I just didn’t ever really click with the playstyle. I have a healthy respect of Drillers on my team for being able to handle crowd control well, so cheers to you guys.
The opposite, I’m a generalist and play all four classes equally (they are always on the same rank). I couldn’t imagine restricting myself to one artificially.
It’s not artificial, at least for me - it’s just a natural consequence of getting into the groove. I play scout, I get used to scout, I want to play more scout cause it’s what I’m used to. I still switch it up, usually to Gunner, but habit is what it is.
I find myself switching a lot because I play with randoms all of the time. I will choose my class based on whatever the team needs as I join.
