...maybe you should take them up on it!

480 tons; 8 players; 12 kills, vs 775 tons; 12 players; 1 kill

I see you had to cover the names to prevent name and shaming. Seriously, from the stats you were punting puppies, not actually fighting.

Well...I'm under the impression that covering up names is both good etiquette AND required by the TOS?
The reason I posted it was that it's by far the most ridiculous outcome I've had in a match, and thought it was entertaining as such- not to claim any great skill on my part. I PUG exclusively and put up sub 100 damage scores not infrequently in everything from light 'mechs to assaults. My KDR is also <1.

Whether the opposing team were 'puppies' or just just didn't bother to coordinate because they thought it would be a stomp I can't say.

Sorry that I offended you.

I've had this happen twice (while being on the 12-man team).

First time it happened everybody rushed towards the enemy as fast as possible to go get those 'easy kills'.
Which is wrong of course. If you play like normal it should be an easy win not easy kills. Nothing has changed the lethality of those remaining mechs. Certainly not when you approach them piecemeal and head-on.

Second time I tried to warn the team by relating my previous experience. They were probably happy I was typing so much because that meant I wouldn't be stealing any of their kills which they were rushing towards.
