All night long. The worst matches. I know I'm not that terrible. My KD is like 2.64... but why can't I get a solid group of people? I don't get it. Last night, 1000-1200 damage matches, solid brawls... tonight? Barely scraping 400 (and when I do, I'm 200 dmg above the rest of the team)... mostly 250-ish, I've won maybe 2 matches out of 15... bleh... Such a rough night..

This is a regular occurrence on patch day now. I think each patch buggers up the elo/matchmaking or whatever convoluted system they use for a couple of days. Last night i had the opposite i had a few games where i practically walked right through the red team as if they had paper towels for armour plating.

Best thing is expect to loose on patch day as i do as it always seems to dump you with crap badly organized and low skill players. I was just lucky that last night seemed to be the exception to the rule.

Last night (Monday for me), I was doing that. Just absolutely obliterating the matches. Actually hit 1400 a couple times. 5-7 kills per match. Today, ugh...

However, I am happy to report that I won my last match and ALMOST hit 1000 as well as surviving til the end. Not sure which of those things I was more happy about.

Never worry about K/D, the moment you hear people worrying about K/D ( Or even teams) is the moment you realise they are not teamplayers. The only thing you should be concerned about is your W/L ratio. Anyone can have a good K/D, anyone can wait for the kill shot. Its about what you bring to the table. So rather than thinking I got LOADS of damage and my team sucked. think could have I applied that damage better to kill the enemy? Could I have suggested a game plan to the rest of the team?


A brawler player will never have a pro k/d... the ppl in this game ( and here is my whine) who think theyre pro with their 'pro' k/d's are actually c**** who hide behind their pugs and go for the kill shot and spread damage to get high damage scores. A real pro will be at the front leading and creating the initiative for their team.

Dont worry about your k/d and I bet your w/l goes up

[mad kat]

Funnily enough my brawlers and strikers have the best K/D and W/L ratio's of all my mech's (with a couple of exceptions) but i suppose that says more about my play style. If I'm having a bad day i'll dust off my Awesome 8V with 3xASRM6 and 2xLL and try to make it's current 3.14 K/D and 2.0 W/L ratio even better.

Just hate the guys that say "just kill yourself" when you are trying to win the game for them. 5v1 in my Raven 3L and my trusty turret team mates and all was good. 5 kills, 6 assists, and 1k+ damage.

[Arn0ldSchwarzenegger]

I play crap mechs a LOT just for the shits and giggles as well as a challenge. Anyone can get epic games in a great mech like the TBR, not everyone can get high scores and lots of kills in things such as a locust or the like, but they do undoubtedly drag your k/d down!

[Moonlander]

Yeah, I'm usually the one getting kills "stolen" from me. I lay down all the damage while a silly light comes, lasers him once and gets the kill. Such frustration. However, my W/L is at 1.86 at the moment.

But not many things more annyoing than a RVN-3L stealing kills and hiding at the back and not actually being much use and spreading 2 x ERLL damage over a whole enemy mech then them telling you how epic their damage was when actually it was probably very very inefficient. A good example of this was my KTO-18 and i did over 1k dmg on only two mechs, a fully healthy atlas slowly torn apart by streaks. Yeah very good damage, but really useful? apart from disatracting the atlas for the whole game, not really efficient.

[Arn0ldSchwarzenegger]

But dont forget thats also the job of the light, where an assault might be torso twsiting to protect that weakened part, a light can come in and kill him, potentially saving 5-10 seconds of fight time which could be a lot of fire coming back you way in that amount of time. It can be annoying but on a w/l point of view its a very good thing to do

[mad kat]

My Fang and Grid iron are really effective (I'm now spreading their build to other mechs) but hugely annoying to team mates in that they're both equipped with an lB-10x and a machine gun among their other weapons so once the pulse lasers and srm's have torn the armour off the enemy the stream of bullets and pellets from the ballistics essentially ensure i'm the last one to give the killing critical hit.

Re quoted for an intelligent point.
That light "stealing your kill" stop "your" kill from shooting you again, thus weakening you for the next combat. Lights are not just scouts.
KDR is a useless, pointless thing. The only thing that matters is your team and their success.

Any mech putting any damage on an enemy is an asset. You see too many guys shooting the scenery instead of the enemy or worse, wasting shots in your teams back. Be happy when your PUGs hit the enemy.

Distracting a major threat in a battle is not really a waste either. You keep them from shooting your team mates, so not a waste.

Watched one of those win the match for us last night.

One whiner insisted he still shoulda killed himself sooner.

Had a match like that last night.
Highest score on the team in my Locust.
My lance mates?
Two Twolves and a Scrow.

[Alienized]

dire whales... everywhere.... at least 3 per battle....
while i try to elite Dragon's... (no, not master them.. thats even too much for me to take)
and most of times i see nothing but clanmechs around anymore... i feel lost with my IS mechs now.

[Jon Gotham]

The clan mechs are not as good as the derpherd thinks they are. A good aim and front loaded damage are still king.
And +1 for piloting Dragons, we'll make a Kuritan out of you yet!
