My daily whine is that people are posting not-whine things in the daily whine thread.

[Athom83]

Got flanked on Alpine by a mech with some ERLLs at the start of the match. I kept telling my team "there's one behind us in H7". I was firing away with my LB-10s trying to swat him away, but he kept ducking back and forth into cover. My team completely ignores him. Sersiously. There were even 2 friendly mechs within 200m of him, with their back to him. Yet, they payed 0 attention to my calls, and he didn't shoot at them either. Finally he legs me, despite that leg was facing away from him and he was visually hitting my torso, and detonates my ammo stored there. It didn't kill me, but I just ragequit. I wasn't even holding a single hope of redemption for that team. **** them.

[Athom83]

First match after I got back from my ragequit (needed some icecream to cool me of ) and I do 1.3k damage. It was my first match where I did over 1k damage. I've done 800s and 900s very often, but I've never broke that 1k mark before.

Why is in the whine thread? Because of that ****ing Raven on the enemy team. That ****er ran around for the last 7 minutes of the match, after everyone else on his team was dead, and ****ing extended the length we all had to sit there. We finally corner him, I fire my guns into him... and out of ammo just as I open his legs. The MADIIC and NTG on my team were both las-boats, but they just couldn't catch and corner him like I could. They kept following where he was and not where he was going. Eventually the time ran out just as I pinned him between me and a rock. Waste of everybody's time.

Reminds me of the time I had to trade damage with a Banshee and Timber Wolf in my Purifier, because I was the only one trying to stop them from capping base.
Lost my mech as a result of all the damage I took, but I stalled the cap long enough for my idiot teammates to finally stop eating glue and come help.



And /facepalm at the Pirate's Bane that was sitting on enemy cap while my team was barely winning; the idiot only scored 28 damage that battle.

Lost the will to play MWO for several days after attempting that "win 2 FW matches" as an IS player. When I saw 9 players on my team not even break 400 damage. And then even see half of them not even expend all of their lives... I just... broke down.

Full solo quickplay is to blame for that. How will peole learn team work when they won't teamwork?

and hello again whiners, I'm back from a hiatus^^

Potato talking #### to the rest of the team because he did so much more damage lurming from the back in his Mad IIC.

Not going to get mad, just take it out on every other potato I see on the enemy team.

It's too starchy to go alone! Take this:



That being said, what mech do you guys use as your 'potato peeler' when the potatos start flooding the queues?

[Zergling]

Bought the Zeus/Warhawk C and Panther/Mist Lynx Prime packs, played 10 battles in the Panther... and zomg, why the hell does the matchmaker hate me so much lately? 3 Wins to 7 losses.

Honestly, I kinda regret spending more money on the game now; seems everytime I play the game, I get lumped with so many potato teams that it is just impossible to enjoy it.

I completely forgot that they didn't get rid of the x2xp first win of the day thing when they switched to the skill tree. kept playing the same mech most of the morning to hit the 20k xp thing when I should have hopped mechs each match.

also zergling's team rolled mine

Ya, I started getting wins when I played another 14 battles before. A bunch of them were ridiculously lopsided battles where I barely did more than 200 damage, yet still won despite my non-contribution.
Eg, the battle I saw you in, I only did 131 damage, although I did get a most damage assist on a Linebacker.

Like, what is with the matchmaker? When I score good I lose the battle, but when I score badly I win?

Either the MAD-IIC-SC, ON1-IIC-A, or HMN-Prime (With 4XSRM-6A on all of them. Backup weaponry is the only change.).

All of mine pack radar derp, so LRM spam is barely a concern. All of them are mechs I've have 5+ kill games in against PUGgles, so.

yeah the same with me- had 5 wins in the first 6 matches, then got rolled the next six including the one we fought each other before finally winning again. though in my case my bad matches (sub 100 dmg, die in the first couple) have been getting worse but I've been getting more 400-500 dmg multi kill matches too. lots of 12-3/3-12 type matches today. I do find on wins i'm generally in the bottom 4 of the damage list but when we lose i'm in the top 4.

I have a few mechs with good w/l and lousy kdr and others with good kdr but can't win to save their lives. it's like the MM says "you can only have 1 thing- wins or kills- choose 1"

Cyclops 11-A-DC. http://mwo.smurfy-ne...8e2d0f47d8a0d14 Replace the AC/20 with a UAC/20 when it comes out. Shoots down hundreds of LRMs while carrying a 67 damage boom every few seconds.

Dang, I was in #61 slot in the Panther leaderboard before, but now I've dropped to #69.

At the rate things are going, I'll be bumped off before the event ends, so if I want the the free warhorn I'll have to play more. Honestly, I'm mostly doing it for bragging rights, and I'm kinda leaning towards 'not worth the effort' if I have to play even more battles in the Panther.

Gah, why do people have to be so competitive?! I don't wanna have to play the crappy Panther again!!!

Can we give the disco ball and lights to an enemy? And they have to keep it in their cockpit for a whole month.
