yes, and I know what is going to happen, so I just try to make them work for it if I can. Its all you can do, unless you are on fire......or David Davidson.

i have had matches where i killed 5 enemies and it still wasn't enough to save my team from themselves.

[Sephlock]

I was on a roll and then suddenly I was getting hit by enemies that I was sure my teammates were engaging... I got swamped in seconds, my targets got away, and...... ow.

clearly the only solution is to kill the whole enemy team yourself.

bring lots of ammo.

i see a stalker that barely outdamaged the cicada on it's team and a 3L. Your roll was either incredibly short lived because you took some roundabout way to the fight or you missed a bunch of shots while being in the thick of it...

appears you where also saddled with a disco'd Atlas

Damage isn't the measure of effectiveness, minimal damage to kill is better, more salvage for everyone.

Nahh he probably engaged 2 mechs in a high alpha stalker ct'd them quickly was feeling good about it, moved to engage a third mech when all of a sudden the remainder of the enemy team is suddenly on him and drops him quickly while he realizes suddenly the reason this is happening is that everyone else is dead. I know that feel.

The cicada and 3L were... I don't know what... but they were the last ones alive and regardless of what they were or were not doing early on, they really hung in there, I'll give them that.

And how did the Atlas get an assist of it was disco'd? Oh, you mean like... it started firing and then the pilot crashed? I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case (I don't remember any disconnects, anyway, just deaths, but maybe I just didn't notice...?).

It wasn't quite like that, but you pretty much got it. All of the sudden it was me and the raven and the cicada, and neither of those two were anywhere in sight....

And then....

[Darius Otsdarva]

I've had games like that, where we were doing so well and then suddenly 2 of your assaults decided that not protecting their back was a really smart idea.

Then again I've also had games where I round the corner in a hunchback and meet a pair of AC40 Jagers.

Sometime you are the hunter, sometimes you are the prey.

[Sephlock]

^ That makes me angry....

[Nathan Foxbane]

I am confused. How did DarkMatter get 3 assists when you had the only two kills on your team?

[Sephlock]

I guess someone committed suicide or something.

Yea sucks, doesn't it.

[FrDrake]

Yea, happens to everyone, there are games we get 3 quick kills and are 3 mechs up on the enemy, then we go to engage the last set, I'm so sure of our overwhelming advantage that I don't play a "highly focused" game, I let myself get tunnel visioned on having fun and picking someone apart, or play cat and mouse with a light mech instead of helping focus down bigger ones. Then suddenly I'm the last one left fighting 3 of them and I'm like "wtf how did they lose a 7v4".

I've found this happens in any game really though, the more assured of victory you are the more often you end up throwing it away.

If you look at the Screenies I posted, those are not 3 quick kills. Those are 3+ solid 100% to death kills alone and then almost the rest of the team. A pity the current armour mechanics doesn't allow me to do an entire team wipe.

Good one. Had a night like that last night. Played a LPL and MPL awesome, my lazors didnt register at all... Just made me completely frustrated and depressed how bad HIT REG and HSR is.

[Kageru Ikazuchi]

It happens to me more often when I'm in a light mech on conquest ... we're up on caps and points, but the brawl is on, and it's roughly even. I join in, steal a kill, momentarily distract a few enemy heavies, focus on getting that damn commando off of a team-mate's rear torso, but get there just a bit too late, circle around trying to find an enemy with an open armor section, and realize, the glorious 5v5 brawl is now 4v1 ... and we're down on caps ... and points ... and blammo ... "defeat -- all friendly mechs destroyed"

And instead of an "attaboy" for at least trying to come back and save their sorry *****, I get trolled in chat for not capping.
