Super Monday Night Combat

[PC] Super Monday Night CombatI want to like Super MNC, but after only a few Training missions, I just cannot bring myself to do so. The game is obviously very team-oriented. The problem with such games is that, unless you play with a set group, the quality of the team you will be placed with will be extremely random. A good team can quickly

Actually I hear what characters you start with are completely random. *shrug* Might've changed that or I could be wrong.

Like I said, I've only tried three training missions.

I've had a pretty dull set of characters there. Soldier guy was...well...a generic middle-of-the-road soldier guy. He also seemed the most capable character the game offered me. Healing girl seemed a bit pointless without a functional team, so I never tried her. Tank guy was a fairly big disappointment. He had a laser that appeared to have a shorter range than its graphics showed and didn't seem particularly impressive on damage, and a charge skill that tended to get him killed. The shield he had was nice, but the recharge time was bad and sometimes it seemed to want to set itself in a different direction that I wanted. Annoying "upper class British or something" robot ultimately played like another generic pew pew character, just with a grenade skill that fired like a gun instead of being thrown like a grenade. And I never tried the mascot thing.

Characters in the shop looked more interesting. And looked to play more interesting, from what I've seen of videos.
