I think he meant my message. But I also never said anywhere that MCH should fight 1v1 or that I consider team combat as a one-on-one fight. This is nonsense. All I said was that this class is capable of knocking out a melee when dangerously close, or at least forcing them to flee. My message was mainly that the MCH has decent damage, ability to kite and even at close range this class is able to successfully fend off a melee, unless you are focused by a whole group or a couple of melee.

As for ranked games, everything happens faster, more technically, and in many ways it is a tactical and positional game. One single mistake in focus is worth losing, that's all. On the other hand, it is clear to me why my words were deliberately twisted. This conversation was not about discussing balance at all.

The log I showed is far from the best, but it was taken as an example of the melee just not reaching me, besides that it was Cloud Nine, where the MCH can work very efficiently.

It's very strange for me to see people prejudice a screenshot without knowing the situation and not being there, using it to moking. Because I never said anywhere that I was the best MCH in Eorzea. I just wanted to say "use your arsenal properly, all your arsenal".

Also, what the OP probably doesn't know is that the MCH has Overheat stacks that at max allow them to move very fast. Many players usually ignore this point and complain about the lack of speed. And for me personally, this is a more interesting mechanic than the BRD jumping back.

In fact, sometimes I have to hold the crystal at the cost of my knockout, and this is a situation that should not be. If MCH holds the crystal, and I had this quite often with the whole dead team, it means that everything went wrong.
