Reading the topic of this thread, I was fully expecting the topic post to contain a "Y U NO" image macro meme along the lines of, "NOOBS, Y U NO PLAY AS A TEAM".

Every now and then I see one of these delinquents, either on my team or the other team. I don't know if it's "something shiny" or if they believe themselves to be piloting an invincible Rambo mech. I always operated under the assumption that they are individuals who have accepted "Leeroy Jenkins" as their personal lord and saviour.

What's even worse are those rare occasions when you find yourself on an team of these suicide bombers. What are the odds of being placed with not one, but seven human beings with the IQ of an amoeba? It's like happening upon a group of elusive siberian tigers in the wild...just before a group of poachers open fire on them. Your desperate pleas of "stay together" or "lets go upper" will only fall on deaf ears. All you can do is sigh quietly as you resign yourself to almost certain failure.

I will say this seems to be happening less and less frequently, but I look forward to the time when this situation is a distant memory.

To be fair... Good players are not immune from doing "stupid stuff".

I still occasionally do the following:
- Walk (get drawn) out in the open where I am unceremoniously eviscerated by LRM boats.
- Get tunnel vision while trying to score the knock-out on one target while the other one sneaks behind me and gives me "prison love".
- Overheating in the middle of a close-quarters exchange.
- Walk into the middle of a focus-fire encampment.

The difference is good players learn from their mistakes and make concerted effort to not repeat them...

I have a feeling most of the bad players probably dont frequent the forums for strategy advice.

Core me, just don't bore me.

Since the average game is like 6 minutes in a pug, I can safely assume that you have the attention span of a methed out hamster.
