Used to happen to me a lot in my Highlanders until I got the speed tweak. Happens much less in my Battlemasters, since they're considerably faster. Still happens occasionally, usually when the lights take off and everyone else follows. I've heard someone say "wait for the assaults" maybe once or twice.

Not so lucky here

You got called that after you swore at the team several times and insulted them for their tactics. Now lets clear up some facts; you were not DC'd at the start; you were already making snide comments from the 1st minute. You didn't get all the kills either; you did 500dmg and got 3 kills but the final score was 12-5. It's true that I did under-perform with 129 dmg but lets not forget the fact that I was in a trial lynx and you were in a leveled king crab.

Before you commend yourself too much, lets break down your performance; the three guys you killed scored 67, 111 and 207 dmg respectively. Two of them, a BJ-1 and a VND-1R stood still in the opening and were trading with you (a quad UAC5 KGC) beyond their optimal ranges. You didn't even need to aim, they just stood still as you hammered them and it was obvious you were up against very new/inexperienced players. Your 3rd kill was on a HBR-PRIME that had 3 red torsos and who decided to stand point blank in front of you. Even then you struggled to hit him due to the fact that you stayed zoomed in at short range. You faced 3 newbie players one at a time in high DPS assault so getting 500 dmg was not something to really brag about.

As for your tactics, beyond insulting the rest of the team on chat, what exactly did you do for most of the game? The majority of the enemy team was in D3 and most of our team moved up along the C line. However you decided to camp in C5 and rather than move up to assist the guys at the front, you stayed back to try to cherry pick kills. You didn't actually contribute much damage until the final minutes in which you got noob rushed by the before mentioned 3 players. Your only real contribution prior to that was your charming comments about team tactics on both team and general chat.

Now do you want to know why I know you are in a low elo range? Because this is an alt account where I basically just play trial, stock and junk builds for fun. I don't play this account much, I lose a lot and I share it with my family and its safe to assume that my ELO is fairly low. Based on the fact that I've seen you 6 times recently in this account, you can safely assume your elo is in a similar range to mine. I spectated you in two different games and you really have a long long way to go. We all get frustrated and rage at times, but the most people realize they were wrong to act like that after they calm down. You on the other hand spend too much time blaming others which is likely a large factor in why someone with over a year of experience is still playing so much in the lower ELO grades.

Solid Gold!!!! I even liked it! I think this was a mining collective match???

The comment at the start was "can we spread out some more, i don't think we are trying hard enough to lose"

You pushed up the C line and left the guys who started on the other side of the map on their own so that lance had to push up another line and ended up in c5 after a bunch of you were already dead... or did you conveniently not notice the direwolf and the stalker i was with? you know... the three assault mechs you left in the rear?

But 500 damage into a blackjack, a cored hellbringer and a vindicator who were standing still seems a bit...well....far fetched.... and i like the bit about being noob rushed by three guys who were apparently standing standing still

Interesting to the people who always remember the trash other type in the chat but never see the other info about location, don't split up, stop peeking around the corner and....wait for it... STOP LEAVING THE ASSAULT MECHS BEHIND and all the other useful stuff you love to ignore, and then after half you guys feed yourselves into the enemy 1 by 1 and we die one by one you got flamed and then got oh so offended by it/

News flash mate, i can handle losing, but when I'm well into the double digit losing streak seeing the same names over and over again doing the same kamikaze runs over and over ignoring the same information over and over with the same results over and over and that's when i get a typing

And after all that, the match YOU are referring was NOT the match where i was disco'd OR the match where i got the only 3 kills for the team, however, you are most definately the one who called me a whiney ***** =D

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story

And lastly, a "Pug" is NOT and elo bracket, "PUG" is a type of gameplay, they ignor the information people post in the chat, are impatient, repeatedly peek around corners getting their faces shot off and run straight at the first thing they see, die, disconnect the second they are dead and do it all over again. The people who are complaining in the chat - granted im really bad at the moment, and that's for reasons you are not entitled to or need to know about, are sick top death of being 2,3, 4 down in a match before we have even seen an enemy mech because there's this other group of people who derp every match and screw the rest of us over

Try again mate

Also carried on from a convo with ragemonkey earlier I realise why I hate the solo queue so very much. I am simply not good enough to carry. I can't do it. Therefore, I am at the mercy of my team mates more than I'd like. If they are worse than me, I can't compensate and I have a bad, unenjoyable game. Which seems to be the majority of my games outside of Cw lately.
I wish I could permanently sit in CW.

That really sums up how i find the solo cue

I was playing crap last night. But it didn't seem to be just me though either. Several matches and one in particular our team just vanished.

Also what's happened to the griffin 3m its crap now. Bar the odd exception it has no staying power the srm's are no other word ****. It used to be a great srm boat but now can't seem to damage a damn thing?

IS VS Clan, Counter Attack
Wave 1, Some dude suggested Heavies+Assaults push in the front, lights follow and break forward once we reached the gate and start focusing single target. Pugs being Pugs, no one focused fire, 2-12 in two minutes.
Wave 2, the same gifted individual suggested that we hold at spawn and snipe, in IS mechs......
Managed to quit and had a few slices of pizza before I started yelling over VOIP.....
Some people should've been a BJ and nothing more.....

I ran for quite a while an ac2+ppc cicada. Had a lot of success with it, as in freakishly successful. Lord alone knows why.
Been tuning my cicada CW builds tonight, testing them in solo queue and crikey it has gotten worse. Teams made out of soggy wet tissue paper it seems.
Just HOW do people die so fast?

i never do CW. i think its boring and always the same.
i love pugging for the fact that i can find paths to sneak up the enemies
i love that <3
+ the victor is BRILLIANT!
it delivers hard when you succesfully jumped up some cliffs where the enemy cant see you

in combination with a good sense for enemy movement, map awareness and a high portion of recklessness with high risk you gonna crush alot of things

I don't put up with that level of cursing just to get into the song. Just not my style.

Stubborn people - trust me.

Statistically possible, but also statistically improbable.
You sit there losing, and a large part of your head keeps saying - this cannot keep up, it has to turn around at some point!
Part of the back of your head tells you that if you quit now, you will regret it.
Either because your luck is about to turn around, or because you do not want to end it on that negative note.


...now that I think about it, it is the same mentality that keeps Vegas in business.


Edit: spelling

Some people are masochist, I know i can be even if I get bad games ill still keep playing slowly trying....eventually i feel like the guy from the resident evil diary entry as he turns into a zombie...itchy...tasty....::scribble::
