I can rule out the one I don't like: onos. <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif' /><!--endemo--> poor onos <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I'd have to say skulk is one of my favorites. There's just something vicious and predatory about it. Not to mention wallwalking make for a very unique gameplay action. The only dislike about the skulk is they die so easily.
Tied with skulk is probably fade. Damn skippy. Dogfights with JPer's in the air are a blast. The only dislikes I have with the fade is that their blink runs out too soon. (uses too much energy) I also wish I could clip though e_polys. Build that structure blockade and I'll go though it. Or the ability to do figure eights <i>through people</i> and then smack them upside the back of their heads after blinking though them. God that would be a blast. (though would be quite difficult to pull off, but then again the reward for reaching the challege is well worth it)
Gorges, I love playing a healer & builder class just as much if not more than combat.

The gorge - fat cute and huggable
skulks - fun gameplay v.unique
lerk - fun roleplaying just flying around :>>
fade - utter fun hit and run with dogfights and love blink <3
Sounds just like you, lil buddy! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Fade is the best for kills.
But as far as playing goes I love being a lerk or skulk for Combat games, and a fade for NS games.
I like lerk because it is a support class, and its just fun to fly around distracting marines.
2 ) The <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif' /><!--endemo--> , form i often play with, as it's low cost and help the team. I also take a lot the webgorge in CO (level 10 : scent of fear, cara/regen, adrenaline and... silence sometimes...)
3 ) The <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif' /><!--endemo--> , only when i don't use my res... but i'm pretty bad onos
4 ) The Fade... with which i usually be killed trying to get down one shooty level 3
5 ) The Lerk, i was very skilled before... but trained players usually get me first now
6 ) The cocoon, i can go to the toilet before playing again...
I dont really like skulking...so if i can score 2 kills at the start i ll be lerk from 1:00 on <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Give me 2-3 MCs and Marines will fear me (except if they lmg me down after about 30 seconds...happens too ^^)
What i really love about the Lerk (especially the bite lerk) is that he is very weak (talking about hp). So one single marine with decent aim and a LMG can take him down.
At the same time he will hardly ever loose this 1on1 if you can dodge his bullets.
So...Bite Lerking with Celerity is all about
- surprising the enemy
- using the terrain to your advantages (every pipe can be used to avoid bullets)
- scouting....which i really like to do
- and of course...spreading terror across the Marine Team.
Sometimes if i have one of my good days i ll go up to scores of 20+: 0. And its just really fun if marines dont move out alone any longer because they know that you ll go for them.
These poor lonely Ninjas who stand at a good position waiting for a phase gate just to find out that you are sweeping in from a vent to kill them the moment the commander dropped the PG. aaaah i love that!
Silence lerk is very cool too if you want to ambush a lot. But you need 3 MCs right off...and it becomes very hard after some time because you cant get out of action that fast...
So...to finish my post... <b>I absolutely love lerking</b>
2) Celerity <!--emo&::lerk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/lerk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='lerk.gif' /><!--endemo--> I just love guerilla fighting
3) <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif' /><!--endemo--> Laming is so much fun, especially when a marine tries to kill you by jumping your wall only to find out you already jumped to the other side and killing him with your spit.

I kan also roll teh egg onto teh dum marinez comin to hive room and keel them all, ROAFL! dey dont no wats happening till I roll over evry sngle won and i get a score of 40-2, ROAFL!
Disclaimer: Yes, I know I spelled half of all that stuff wrong. It was intentional.
2. Skulk - versatile (with upgrades preferably)
3. Gorge - helpful to the team
3. Lerk - if i want to screw around (not too good at it)
4. Onos - if i can't take something out with fade
In classic, there really isn't a useless lerk. If you're new to the game, you can rock the adren and be a spore slinger. If you're a vet, you can go celerity/focus and terrorize marines with both spore and bite. Lerks can operate well solo and they really shine when working with the team. They're cheap and very cost effective. You have a huge amount of options to customize your lerking experience.
In combat, no other lifeform benefits from multiple upgrades as much as the lerk. Spore is highly effective at making marines vulnerable to focus and xenocide since HA is pretty rare. Since lerks are so fast and maps so small, you can make it seem like you're everywhere at once.
The only real vulnerability of lerks is their low health with can usually be compensated for by their extreme speed and pancaking.
Runner up: Onos. I love devour.
BECAUSE THEY'RE GOOD RIGHT?
