The only kind of LRM boat I hate lately is the kind that seems like they just never touch the R button again once they lock onto you once. Because I keep getting that kind lately.

Well known top tier team (8 man) rolled us in group queue. Bragged at the end of beating us by "long range PPC fire by people who know how to aim".

By my count they dropped 13 air strikes, though it may have been more.

When you are as good as these guys are known to be bragging about skill is perhaps understandable if not justified; but be honest about it too ya insecure punks.

that's how I can usually tell if I've run into the T1 end of the pool by the number of consecutive airstrike/arty shots that start landing among us.

So many potato's using zoom at brawling ranges, that can't see the light under them because they're zoomed x2 that then go WTF and pivot in the same direction until they get destroyed by the invisible to them, locust, with MG's

At T2 I should not be seeing Dumb **** like this.

I've actually been forced to do this more lately with any sort of mid + longer range weapons- cause my eyesight is lousy. but yeah lights do seem to love a fully zoomed target. it seems I will be seeing this more though as my xp bar is almost ready to "ding" into T2

Just got a Domination match where we had a Pirate's Bane, Battlemaster, and another unidentified assault not move at all after spawning.

They literally just stood at spawn, not moving once. And they weren't discoed, and they still had ping, so I guess that Matchmaker really decided to **** my side.

the hit registration since the last patch is truly disgraceful

Is it really that bad? I've only come across one or two instances of bad hitreg happening, and those had to do with someone feathering their JJs (which has always been the case, particularly at high ping). And I'm using ERPPCs most of the time.

18 MPLs into a phoenix hawk ST and its armor went yellow
18 MPLs into the rear torso of a timberwolf and its armor turned yellow...

The hell are you running that can fire 18 MPLs at the same time? More importantly, how are you not exploding doing that?

9 MPLs in 2 different alphas Phoenix hawk was coming straight at me, no twisting or zig zagging, timby was standing still firing at another teammate as I snuck up behind it

Nothing like a pair of SNV-As mounting LRM80+a Mauler with LRM40+ a Huntsman with LRM30 to get the old salt factories flowing.

Damn it, I had just started enjoying the game again. Maybe I should stop going online after 8 US-Central.

I just don't get why people don't listen when you say something to help the team. If someone makes a call i go with it even if i don't agree. Why? Because he is the only one making a call and its our best hope.

[Mad Skull]

What i don't mind,
I don't mind loosing a game where my team tried and fought.

[SuperFunkTron]

I don't recall if I've made this complaint before, but I've been struggling with this particular issue a lot lately:

Why the hell don't people respond to requests for help. You type, speak, and use the command wheel so it's absolutely clear that there is a significant advantage to helping you either escape a trouble spot or to help you over run an enemy yet people decide to wait 3-5 minutes before the heard starts to move in your direction. I'm sick of begging for help only to be told that getting left behind is my fault or when people agree to a plan and do the exact opposite of said plan leaving you high and dry only to tell you how much you and your plan suck...

On a better note, I started digging into joining NBT and have made more contacts through that and will likely decrease the number of times I will drop without allies who use their brain or support their team (really only 1 of those 2 things are needed).

Also, I want to heavily recommend using LFG to help build up groups and your friend list. I managed to put together a 10 man group of people who actually communicated and listened to orders and it was glorious. Even the losses were well received because you knew the team outplayed you rather than slapping around a bunch of helpless pugs.

So i was just saved by one hell of a UrbanMech
mech pilot. I over heated my mech while CT. Thought for sure i was a finished. Out of no where he pops up in front taking care of me while i was sitting there waiting to cool down. Well done pilot! I will respect that mech a little more because of you.

I just read on the roadmap they are considering 8v8.....oh no.....
The fewer you have on the map-the more important each build/person is. The potato effect is more pronounced....just two bad players is now 25% of your whole team.....

Yup, yet all the potato heads think this is a really great idea.

well it was an urbie. and not wanting to steal all the glory he didn't immediately kill the enemy so that you could finish what you started i'm sure.

had a domination match in frozen. me and 4 or 5 friendlies fighting by the dish against what seemed to be an equal number of enemy. then I get shot in the back, turn to the shot, shot in the back again, go other side, shot again. turns out they had 4 mechs all around the edge of the circle to ensure someone had their back to someone the whole time. we die. I spectate and find our remaining 4 mechs (rest were killed elsewhere I guess) outside the perimeter of the circle, behind some of the enemy...fighting behind the dropship trying to kill a kitfox.

needed one more win for the event- so naturally I needed 6 matches to get, then got it and my 2 UAV kills in the same match. and like bulletsponge had some nice hit reg. disco hunchie. I fire 3MPL/2ERML about a dozen times into the arm of a hunchy from about 250m not moving. arm still had armor left when it finally died. I took more dmg from the friendly trying to shoot through me to get to it. I did mention for them to "shoot the hunchy not me" which got some laughter from the team and an apology from the shooter though so that was nice.

A reality that many people are overlooking is the fact that with fewer players necessary per match, players could potentially be better matched with some small tweaks to the match maker Sure mechs become more significant as numbers are reduced, but more selectivity becomes real as the population available to fill smaller matches grows.

[Trenchbird]

Or the fact that it'll be easier for higher tier players to carry lower tier players, with a third less guns pointing at them.
