This is literally 85% of my matches. I am the only one contributing immensely and everyone else on my team does jack for damage. I can't bring fun mechs like Panthers anymore because we will loose thank to the game expecting me to carry. Please PGI, this is getting old. I can't group queue because of obscenely long wait times and solo queue is basically "if you're Tier 1/2, you have to carry or gglocse loose"

Edit: To all those who say "1300 damage 1 kill? Get good", Hi guys, I'm gonna chase that Trebuchet who ran away from me in a 100 ton hulking assault that goes 55kph

Dunno if leaving the names in the screenshot violate ToS about name and shame... but...


Do what everyonelse does? Carry on... and on top of that... 1300 damage, 1 kill? one target down means carrying your team? no.

Nah my games have been pretty close mostly. I think its worse when you are trying to level mechs as well. Say... a Blackjack 1-DC.

[0bsidion]

That was actually a pretty close match. But the fact you did 1300 damage, which is enough to almost completely annihilate 2 fresh assaults, yet you only got 1 kill, tells me you probably need to work on your aim. No offense.

[Torric]

That damage... and only one kill? I mean i get that that KGC prolly is a dps setup with UAC5s, but still... carry harder?

Or drop down to the **** tier yourself, relaxed matches and stuff. Apparently having a few subpar mechs in your regular line up is enough to stay there, from my experience

Its probably UAC5's which would explain it. There would be no way you would get that in a Gauss/ppc platform.

Torric beat me to the punch lol

1300 damage is not carrying? Well sorry for targets running away from me as I open up their CTs and not being able to finish them off

[Amsro]

Are you a LRM Crab? Hard to do that kind of damage and not get more kills. 150-300 for a kill, the rest is just chest pumping.

Your good, but damage isn't everything, what happened to the other crab in your lance, 2 together is always better then one.

You could say he was responsible for 5 targets down ... 1 kill 4 assists =5 targets down because of him out of 7 kills total...and looking at the low damage scores of others, some of those "kills" credited to others were probably just the killing blow after he did all the work

Targets ran away from me right as I opened them up. 100 ton mech can't chase

Have you ever been shot at in your 100 ton assaultmech in the time you needed to do the damage? A perfect example why high damage means jack...

More like a perfect example of people not being able to Critically Think and look past the individual stat of 1 kill. It's not JUST about the kill stat you know ... there are other things going on, other players shooting at the target, it's not an "isolated" stat. People get so hooked into looking at a single number or two and do not think about all the other things going on around those numbers. It IS a team game after all and many other things contribute to the flow of the battle that cannot be reflected in a Kill or Damage stat all the time.

[Kaargh]

LOL Lrm Crab Juju? No, simply he's right.... Not a problem of aim, but match making and hitbox/hit in general...

You might wanna reread the opening thread. He refers to damage himself.

I was not sitting in the back the entire match. I was in the front lines for 60% of that game

[Screech]

So 85% of your matches you are doing 1300 damage and getting 1 kill. This happens to you 85% of your matches, huh? Could you post 10 more of those screen shots since they happen almost all the time.

I think you're missing the point. What I mean is that I am the only one contributing in the game or me plus one other person in 85% of my matches.

[Lostdragon]

Should have posted your individual stats screen to show how many KMDDs and component destructions you got, would have helped your point.

Yeah I'm sure your mini map looked like a pile of red arrows nicely in a row and supporting each other, while the blue arrows were dancing around in various grid locations.

I've played those matches too. But no this isn't a "common" match.
