Solo for PvP practice?

I know that feels, bro. Team gets cut down in MWO, down to your last teammate up against 3-4 enemies, and it’s a LRM boat with fresh armor and NO short-range weapons. Enemy’s ECM-equipped ACH tears its throat out, and the poor LRM boat gets farmed for damage stats. And you’re like, “Yeah, no bigs, just a freakin ASSAULT MECH sitting in the back all LOX PLZ, contributing, let’s see, OH NICE, a whopping 88 damage and 1 assist in the match. Yeah. Another Atlas on the push wouldn’t have helped anyhow. You’re right. TOTALLY our fault for not getting missile locks for you. GGClose.”

Just a LITTLE salty.

See, I know there’s a shortage of GOOD Miko players out there. I know there’s a general shortage of good HEALERS out there, and various other types of survivability/mobility support. EVERYONE plays Oscar Mike well enough. Not everyone plays Miko well enough, though.

So eventually I’d like to be able to offer that up to a team, to be able to do that and do it RIGHT and WELL. I’m already under no illusion that this is a TDM situation. This isn’t. (“You think this is a GAME?! This isn’t a ******* game!” -ISIC ) But first, I just need to learn the mode and get best practices drilled into my head.

That’s where y’all’s valuable feedback comes in! :wink:

I play solo meltdown a fair bit to try out new characters and builds. The Meltdown AI is not great, but it’s still better than Incursion.

First thing to make sure you do is change the map display styles in options>gameplay to “minimap only”. That will let you see the whole map at a glance.

As already noted, real players will often be much more aggressive than bots. If you get remotely close to death against the bots, think of that as a death vs players.

Also, you should outlevel bots quite easily, so don’t get too overconfident in what you can do against various characters under real conditions.
