Two nights in a row of straight dev-dropping with zero luck and no response from devs on whether or not they're actually still dropping. Mothercusser. The "kill devs" items (Pirahna Hunt Banner and Kill A Dev Dogtag) are the only special event items I'm missing because I always have horrible luck or the devs wind up on my team.

Been grinding dire whales. Hey got the prime into the master. So I figured time to pull out an old fun mech. Dust off heavy metal only to find I can't get the old girl to jump up high enough to clear the curb. Have not really played many JJ mechs since the Nerf. I see I won't be for awhile ether.

Leg damage from running over boulders on otherwise flat ground and staying 'airborne' for more than 1 second is getting very very old.

Using these mechanics, Olympic hurdlers would finish their race with completely broken legs.

I dont know what i have done to attract that absolute garbage teams i have been attracting this past few weeks

I cannot for the life of me imagine WHY our solo cue which seems to be more and more full of ******** kids running in circles actually.... ACTUALLY....arguing that they should not need to listen to people TELLING them where the enemy team is "because we are just here to have fun, if you want tactics, go to the group cue"

i mean....WTF.....

i swear to god...we have idiots in this game who spend more time watching other people play and trying to connect to matches than actually playing, because when they do get a match they die in the first 3 minutes being derps, and then there all "gg"

no...it was a crap game you scored 34 in your direwolf....again....and sold out your team...again

i hate this game with a passion some nights....

But these are exactly the people who whined about the evil premades. They resented having to try and focus and just wanted to drop and shoot some stuff. the idea of having 4 people who were co ordinated on the enemy team was like a horrid skin condition to them!
"Why should I listen? Why should I not do that? I do what I like! It's MY game, I'll do what I WANT!ME ME ME"...is their mantra.....

Meanwhile those of us casual players who made friends and just wanted casual drops with mates get fed to the group queue where the tryhard rules. I cannot relax in group queue these days at all, I don't feel like I can just enjoy the games as I', nearly always against a group that prizes winning over playing (read being fed to 9,10 and 12 mans quite regularly in my 5 man....).

I'm afraid mr Yak, the whiners made this bed for all of us....

With all due respect to Olympic hurdlers, I doubt they can finish the race.

Runs hot, or cold. click "play" and the game decides who won.
sometimes you actually defeat that demonic ELO's intentions and. you. pay. the. price.
Actually was down 6 to zero last weekend...six to freaking zero... and we actually communicated and won, 12 to 6, of the remaining 6 of us, 3 broke 700, two broke 500 and one.........wtf....the one retread that Darwin didn't allow the score to be 7 to zero when we took hold had about 100 damage, 2-3 assists and was typing in GG before anyone else...he was in a clan mech..you know..one of the ones that cost real money.
And I promptly was on the stomp end of 6-7 rollstomps the rest of the night...

you probably rose in elo.

You always know when it happens. There you are, playing the best game of your life, every encounter is an epic duel to the death. It ends with one leg missing, two arms blown off, a cherry red torso, and a huge smile on your face. Then comes the next match...DERP!

Maybe we should consider it an honor that the all powerful Elo thinks that we are an army of one.

I have been in a couple of games with FatYak. He generally has a hard time of it. I even saw a guy try to team-kill him.

I've had a rotten day at work, and this made me laugh my head off, thanks =D

[Jon Gotham]

I vowed today, to never play conquest in the solo queue again. My nerves can't take it.


Oh, and I am getting pretty tired of some of what people come out with to counter the lrm whiners. I am thinking some of these guys play a different game to me......some of the things I see written defy logic/tactical sense/what I see with my own eyes:P
If I can see both ends of the argument-why can't they?

Every human mind functions slightly differently.

Some of them cannot see both ends
Some of them can but do not care
Some of them can, but see the one side outweighing the other
Some of them can, but fail to work that into their arguments (though they may mean to)
Some of them can, but chose to troll about it
Some of them can, but try to make the one seem worse to make it more likely to get their way
The variables are as endless as the number of people involved.

Some times I am surprised we ever manage any real, meaningful communication to begin with.

[Jon Gotham]

Sadly so it would seem. Trouble is, people listen to them........

[IraqiWalker]

Here's my whine:

Idiots that get listened to, and then have a brain-dead mob following them. Usually right into a death trap, and saying "I told you so' never brings enough satisfaction to counter the massive amount of frustration caused by stupidity.

I believe a quote from the great poet and philosopher F Gump is most applicable to this when he said, "Momma always said, stupid is as stupid does Ms. Blue."

That would probably fall under that first category.

[draiocht]

Already an immense lack of communication ability, and now I'm suspecting players are just outright turning off chat.

And to that end, I'm starting to see wisdom in that expectation and worthiness in playing exactly like that.


[edit: but sometimes not, and it can be a difficult guess which of those teams are on the ready screen~]

[Jon Gotham]

I do turn off cross team chat actually.
As I'm a substandard human being, because apparently I fail at self control and occasionally don't see GG spam after a good stomping as particularly appropriate....I embraced the fact that I can turn that rubbish off^^
Now they can spam GGCLOSE all they like, I can't see it:)

They still have not learned any empathy nor class, but at least now I can't get offended by it.
