[The Mech behind you]

when your team runs off into 8 different directions right from the start and you're the only one heading towards where the enemy contact could be

when you're in a Spider and you scored the only kills and top most damage on your team

when you're a DDC and your team sticks close to you for ECM cover but ALL of them run away as soon as they see a contact leaving you alone shortly before their whole team pop up

when you're an Atlas and you're brawling with 2 smaller mechs and spamming UAC5s, LLs and Streaks like crazy on them and your team mate in his medium mech thinks it's a good idea to run right into your firing arc. This actually happens pretty often. Your Assault is firing on a target for a while, very rapidly and a teammate decides to run into your firing arc blocking you. Like, you know, one could easily tank an assault mech loadout with the rear armor

when there are 3 Atlas on your team and 2 of them had less than 100 damage without any disconnects

when a friendly Atlas 'sneaks' around the fight to go for the cap and that Atlas has 0 dmg at the end

when there are 2 Lights on your team with LRMs. Bonus: one is a 3L

When your teammate spontaneously combusts a couple hundred meters after moving out from the starting point.

[Otto Cannon]

When you move out from the spawnpoint to the sound of people shooting random scenery inches from teammates, and the sky is full of lasers and ppc bolts showing the enemy exactly where you are.

If you are a 1st Davion Guard ou should be able to beat any team but say the Genyosha or you need to change the location you are using, cause You are not elite enough to be in that elite a unit

Someone who knows his history. However not even a member of the 1st Davion Guard is a Kia Allard-Liao and that is what you would have to be to win with some of these teams hehe.

Well played! However, as a PUG I am less worried about the team winning as only the better team will win, than I am about how well I performed in the game. If I score 1-2 Kills and/or 3-5 assists and 300+ damage, I did good.

Sometimes I get a bit despondent when I lose a match and get <300 damage, then I remember there's only so much damage you can do in the three nanoseconds it takes the rest of your team to get themselves killed before the enemy all start focus firing on you

These are the main two for me.

Less than 100 damage in an Atlas can only mean that you're the greenest of the green. I suspect the majority of these are people that just dumped money on the game right at the start in order to play the "biggest baddest mech" straight away.

Before actually learning to play the game.

I see quite a lot of these.

When I see two RVN-4X, one CDA-3C and one Pretty Baby have decided to grace my team with their presence. There's just no way that's going to work out good for me or my team.

Commando LRM boats are AWESOME, I love mine. Pure joy to play....

There's nothing wrong with a dual AC/20 cicada 3C

Your damage total is more than what the rest of the entire team combined managed to output.

I am cool with that as long as it applies to both sides. Had some fun matches with maybe 4 veteran players total and mostly noobies. But that is the exception. A more typical situation is a noobie team fighting mostly veteran players, even a premade or two. Terribly boring/frustrating depending on the side.

BTW, the trial mechs are actually OK this time around, especially the Atlas.

[Shiro Matsumoto]

Well.. i remember games with under 100 Damage, cause i was circle-tagging resource points in my Jenner, and keeping my team from loosing due to less collected resources..

Clearly, Damage done is the only thing counting...

Wasnt ELO purely based on win/loose? Loosing with 800 Damage is worth less than winning with 100 Damage and employing tactics.

When people think the 'Starburst' is a valid formation.

Lol other than that I love these forum posts of people trying to prove how awesome they are and spouting about how good their ELO is, even when noone knows it.

Oh and one more, when you are marching along in your shiny new atlas with your team around you feeling pretty good about the situation, when you see that little sign 'your base is being captured', and your WHOLE team turns and runs off leaving you, the slowest mech around, to face the entire enemy team when it rounds the next corner.

[Hawks]

On the flip side of the coin of course, I have had matches in which my team has won rather convincingly but to which I personally contributed relatively little.

[PanzerMagier]

I can live with people playing cheese mechs. There will always be fallacy duped trash who think using broken mechanics to win is fair. If you cannot achieve victory or success without the need of exploiting less-than-perfect-working mechanics, then you've already lost to begin with.

But the absolute worst trash scummy worthless mucus of the community are the premades who repetitively run cheese mechs. pretending that they're "practicing" how to play "competitively". Killing trial mechs in one hits for a chuckle, great job scaring off some new player who could have been a great contribution to the game.

PGI might have unfortunately and unintentionally given you the tools to be a total *********, that doesn't mean you have to.
If PGI gave you a gun, would you go out and shoot someone just because you can?

I played this. COM-2D: LRM15 + LRM 5. Was a lot of fun and a lot of kills. Back in that time there were a lot of Lights in battles...

[Mylardis]

When, as a true BT and MW fanboi (written wrong as the correct word is censored?!?), you decide to quit playing for a while after some 1x losses in row and losing .6 on your K/D ratio in a matter of 2 months due to really bad teams in combination with the boring PPC apocalypse I will not give in to doing myself.

I so much love this franchise, but I'm afraid to break something if I play any more with this matchmaking.

@screenshots: I had those 1x times in a row yesterday.

i usually see the opposite problem. usually i'm in a medium (unless i feel like getting my jager fix for the day), used to do the "follow the atlas"- who is an lrm boat thing, so i try to catch up with the brawlers/heavies moving towards the fight at the front. see the base under attack message and think "well i'm furthest away from the base so someone else much closer should be heding back"- lose to cap- no one went back.

or "Base under attack" i RTB- 3 mechs there, die, lose to cap

or "base under attack" no where clsoe to the base- RTB anyway and get there at 95% captured- first one there

only time i see your scenario happen is "jenner pops up on scanners heading to base- everyone goes back" it's like if the mech doesn't appear on radarit doesn't exist in many cases.

at the point now where i just sit in the back of the group for the first two minutes or so of the match and wait for the light to show up and hope catching it capping right away might at least get some lrms thrown at it.

then about 5% of the time an actual light returns to base- oh that reminds me of another one "check team profile- 5 assaults, 2 heavies and a medium (me)- base attack message, teammate: LIGHTS RTB NOW!. Me (heading back): um we don;t have any lights..."- and usually between the two of us we can either kill the capper or drive it away- or in the case of the "uh-oh 3+ of them" stall long enough for other people to take an interest in the cap.

I love how some players are whining about using PPC's being an exploit when these same people were the ones running ECM when it was horrendous and are quite happily using the damned near game-breaking siesmic sensor.
