I would have been slightly less insulted if it was you doing the spamming:)
But only slightly. they are still too effective when boated sadly. Why can't they be like proper missiles and not like a catnip starved kitty on a 3 day comedown chasing a robot catnip infused toy?

And that allows my whine to dovetail perfectly. My whine for the day? People. Just people who can't or won't get the consequences of what they're doing then pretend to be victims. Profane, rude, lunkheaded people.
Not even in a hypocritical sense of 'how dare you kill me!! I r captin awersumm!" People who don't look beyond where their next foot is going or think beyond the words leaving their mouth at an instant reaction to something entering their sensory range.
So yeah... people.
That's my whine for the day.

OP, forgive me for I have sinned. It has been over 2 years since my last confession.
Too many times I have lost my calm and composure when....
- A teammate complains about LRMs but refuses to equip AMS
- I step back behind a corner, only to be blocked by an ally
- I squirrel the enemy but they do not give chase
- I watch our entire team get squirreled
- I die and quickly type yEnemy in E6 only to realize it has gone into general chat
- we lose a match and I realized I forgot to launch a UAV
- our LRM boats get swarmed by lights and our team does nothing about it
- I make a really stupid mistake that gets me killed
- units only spam their recruitment after they're sure they won

I was on my clan account trying to get the last of my 25 games done. On HPG manifold. I was laying down some support in the A1 Catapault when I noticed 4 enemy mechs coming through centre, an assault troll lance no less. I warned the team.
Then again, then again, then again, then again....
Dodged the four mechs peppering them with streak fire, barely excaping. The 3 friendly mechs just ignore them-they are barelyu 80m away...
So I warn them a further FOUR TIMES. Stil no reaction at all. Eventually I run out of retreat spots and get ganked.
I repeat in chat, YET AGAIN where they are. STILL no response.
I spectate a catapault, admittedly I do lambast the team for not listening-response? silence. they don't even have the moxy to say anything.
The catapault after dying keeps proclaiming "I got 6 kills". As if that matters! He did not respond to the warnings, failed to be where he was needed and picked off mechs others had weakened. He seemed to think ignoring repeated warnings is ok because HE got 6 kills. He even ignored an enemy that was killing one of his team mates just so he could shoot the back of a mech, so he could try to get another kill. The friendly died and left him to be ganked.
The last four players on my team threw that game away with just poor play, and dreadful awareness and prideful ego.
When are pugs going to get it's not about YOU it's about WE and US, as a TEAM.

mr nightvision on modor {yep nightvision banshee in terratherma} after the pug zapper is wipping us out from 3 sides {why do so many people have to go there why!} we finally get out and regroup for strength. the chat fills with barking about giving away a superior position and we all end up marching into the choke point where the squad gets 2 mech blocking but then others from behind... the guy lead us right into the same compromised position as last time!
then the really cute one is river city taking the snipers and lrmers on, after a real doozy of a finish we find 3 assaults ******* around at thier base and saying uhhh theres snipers please lead them to us!? for ***** sake they leave us to carry all the grunt work being outnumbered and killed and afterwards say that!? **** around a base for no reason and then start giving us shit after mopping up the cored enemy so l33t!? so many l33ts dicking around and using teammates like expendable meatshields just makes me hate pvp my teammates are my worst enemy.

I'm tired of the piss poor 3 d models that has become the norm in the innersphere designs that started to creep in from, the victor onwards, while the clan mechs are like shining examples, only to read about some twats bleating about part the legs being to thick and the nose being a meter to short ( just look at the crap shot designs of the battlemaster ,victor and banshee and be greatful ).
I'm tired of the auto spell trying to make me spell incorrectly there is a U in freaking colour for Christ sakes.
I'm tired of the auto sensor telling me that batmans side kick, Robin's real name isn't *ick Grayson while I can say crap just because its some shitty american dice game.
I'm tired waiting for the clans to arrive as they will either be so normal and fair, those that selfishly want a point and click mech will cry tears of rage, its just so unfair I can't kick any one's ass with my eyes closed, or will be so unbalanced that IS mech arn't worth playing anymore and will delay CW even longer while they fail to balance more weapons (get it done now so those who don't want to play clan can see if this games worth another penny)
I'm tired of the self righteous ******** coming here and bleating about others failings because they didn't follow their brilliant l33t way of playing then ranted on about how they told their team they sucked on open channels then tell us here like its something to be proud of
I'm tired of pretending I have a life to live and yet squander it, and clearly demonstrate that despite my own and other protestations, that they, and I don't and come here to read and to vent about others failings and rarely their own, because this is a sad little game, and it does so little benefit for so few people, and yet more emotional passion is given to this title than things that really matter, and people will defend that position by saying its for enjoyment, when it clearly isn't because your here complaining about how bad things or other people are.
and most of all what really really pisses me of is
The person who is going to post about this telling me how piss poor my spelling, punctuation, and grammar is
Love and peace

It's freaking ridiculous.
Yesterday in a match some git wanted to do a cave rush on frozen city.
So I suggested no we don't and tried to explain why.
Of course I got the big FU and 11 mechs trudge right on in.
And promptly died.
The match last all of 5 minutes an 32 seconds.
No had more 75 point of damage.
Except for me and my Stalker at 155 points and 1 kill on a banged up T-Bolt.
It's driving me nuts.
I really hate candy crushing pugs.

One of the atlas shoots me in the back and the other one just runs rather than help us both
meanwhile a pug catapult on our team just keeps unloading on the lites at pointblank range with lrms
i know we all have to start somewhere, but really, learn the mechs n weapons, it can only help your team

I'm tired of this. Sometimes it IS the team's fault, entirely. Sometimes they do indeed deserve to be told WHY.
Because sometimes-just sometimes one of these guys actually listens and does not repeat the mistake again.
Surely, if we can change one fool into someone a tad wiser, it's worth it?
If I warned you TEN times about something coming, and you ignored it because you knew "better" and then got stomped by it-it would be your fault 100% you can't argue with that.
So yes sometimes I am self righteous, because sometimes when the stars align and Jupiter is ascendant I'm actually RIGHT.

Well we are on frozen city and take and hold the dropship.
So we have left 8 mechs to push left flank around the bottom of the dropship.
We had 6 mechs infront of us maybe more, got the upper hand and were just pushing into them when we started taking fire from the rear. I look up and oh shit 6 down, no 8 down. fark!
We continued to push into the retreating mech who were falling back into their turrets after I told our premade "we are it, grab some kills we are going down". 4 kills for the whole team, yup all us. Not fair when 2 of our premade were rookies and averaged 200 between them. not a single text type, not even after they died to warn us, just silence
So the lesson, watch your own back, because the puggers can't/won't/don't.
cheers

There are a solid minority of Puggers who do believe in teamwork, communicate, cover for other players that they aren't on teamspeak with. But they are rare and wonderful gems. Often but not always, they're just a lone member of a unit having fun by him/herself, but not always.
Cherish those puggers that do act as a unit with a bad radio, but do not expect them.
