Horseshoe hovers were always OP. Its camera steering.

horseshoe hovers??? what? i have no idea what those are.
Hover builds built with spaced armor, but mostly open in the front.
From the top, they resemble a horseshoe or a 3 sided box.
You say that now, but when Locust accuses you of introducing toxic play-styles to the game by way of uploading monstrously brutal and exploitive META builds to the exhibition that everybody then uses to pwn kids ruthlessly, you deny culpability.
IDGAF though, because that stuff tends to dwell at around PS16K (more or less?), and I would sort of expect that there, right?
But you can’t deny culpability for it and then brag about doing it too…have you no shame?
…ya, me neither.
Some kids don’t like my “toxic” Lances either, but IDGAF. I don’t feel sorry for any of you guys anymore.

That’s not me.
I stand up and not only take responsibility, the reason it was posted is to let everyone have access to OP builds.
So that’s some other Monkey?
IDGAF, and I’m not going to badger you about it (beyond this comment). IJDGAF, but it’s sounds contradictory.

Seems the same to me.
Locust horseshoe hovers before camera steering were easily one of the most dangerous and versatile CW builds. They’d eviscerate everything and have 3k+ cab HP with scavenger armor.
watching the world burn eh?
… i like you 
whats the point of those then?? and why are they overpowered?
I must have some powerful Adapters to be able to shoot those invincible hovers off

Or some passive hovering opponents if they let you pepper their asses with 150 dura DPS weapons.

Alleged invincibility is not the same than “not reacting to the enemy”.
-
They let me “pepper” their frontal bumpers as well
-
They can’t shoot my weapons off, especially from afar. Unless they catch me from behind.

To be frank, one of them sidecucks were using Medians put on struts. Yes, a pair of struts for each. I already knew where to shoot.

Aside from Medians it’s either Sinuses or triple Avengers so I just tank it all and shoot some hovers off just to watch them squirm on two remaining ones.
I do not think they are overpowered, anymore. The last couple of updates really nerfed this build style. They are still good, just not as dominant as they once were.
As to why they are good, if you get a chance to build one or download one from the exhibition and play it, do so. Even now, there very maneuverable and fast. They were great at peekaboo fighting… poking out for behind cover and plinking the enemy and then darting back into cover when spotted.
Another good trick for them was to build them basically backwards. That way if someone spotted you and started to attack, your reverse speed was actually your forward speed and they used to be very fast to the point of being uncomfortable by most builds.
I rarely played them. Never enjoyed the play style.
We seem to have a bad connection. Sorry. I don’t get it. Must’ve gotten lost.
I think PVP is ripe with gimmicks and flaws, and often difficult to manage for any number of reasons, and Lances aren’t a significant dilemma. Considering the landscape in PVP, it’s hard to feel bad about using them.

Nerf hover heigh, their weapon are too high and fire, acide, they don’t care too.
They get any lower they’d be below the map, you’d hate to see how high hovers were buzzing around back in 2017/18

I dunno, man… I’m seeing them bounce off of terrain obstacles as I chase 'em down. If they’re out in the open on flat terrain, they’re pretty strong. Anything else, and they’re in trouble.
It does make sense to me that they’re immune to fire on the ground, though. 
I don’t think hovers are immune to fire on the ground, or am I crazy?
They float over the acid lake, but if they are above fire I am pretty sure they burn.

They do.

The argument that obstacles make 'em wobble doesn’t fly. Anything that isn’t a hover straight up stops or flips when hitting a pebble, I consider bouncing around while keeping your speed a massive plus.
They’re def not immne to fire tho, damn that’d be another nasty random advantage
