i dont think im a very good DC

[loopala]

Or you could do like me and run new mechs stock for about 5 drops, play super aggressive on a toaster, just plain die a lot, worry more about eliminating a threat then kills, and maintain my tier 5 status forever...

Oh did mention I like to use assaults armor to catch the other teams shots with so my teammates live longer...

...had a guy who was directing mechs like an Air Traffic Controller. "Hey...target F...Warhammer...he's CT crit" "Yo...mediums pull out of E7...two assaults coming in...I need some skullcrackers to go into E7 now"...

Lol, that sounds like me! I always start off the match with "o7 stick together all/spread out = dead" or sometimes "i'll call out weak/exposed targets as best I can". I'm an introvert in real life, don't talk a whole lot. However, my desire to win and get C-Bills has taken precedence to that comfortable silence, and usually a little bit of guidance is all a team needs to play well. I try not to sound bossy, but no matter what, there's always some sass in return every dozen or so matches.

Weirdly every single match i'm in where some pug tries to command and co-ordinate i know it will be a loss. So far it always has been. So when a pug starts barking orders i may as well Alt-f4.

Daily Whine about the whine about alleged whining incoming.

Now, team plays like err... how to put it politely? Plays with a lot of room for improvements in all departments: Teamwork, positioning, movement, aiming and aggressiveness. You probably experienced yourselves what followed.

I was pointing out via chat how this was lacking, that we needed more coherence and teamwork, less backstanding. Sure enough no one listened and I soon was alone and got killed eventually as well. When I congratulaed the enemy team via allchat to an easy victory (because it was) just before i died, two of the enemy team enganged as well, telling me how to shut up complaining because I was just in a PPC-Mist Lynx and should better serve my team blablabla.

Now the score screen came up and alas, not only did I score the only kill and best of my team (not to brag, I'm an average player generally), but also those two individuals in the winning team were suddenly silent realizing that I outscored the "maliciousfemalebovine" in his BJ-3 and was not too far behind the MAD-3R of the other one, "godchieftain'ssixleggedmalehorse".

What I'm saying is: Quit this shouting down of people addressing mistakes. It's what others can learn from even in the public queue. I realize that a good portion of the younger players are of the "participation award" generation, not used to being criticized. But hey - just ignore everything and hug a tree. Mommy will be proud.

sorry for killing u that battle :S
tested out this new triple uac2 5slas loadout and your team made it easy lol.

No worries, someone had to do the job

i know too well how frustrating it is to play that lynx. done it too many times having top damage of the team....
dont play it anymore. :S

but i also know what a single er ppc can do especially if its on a spotting mech for lrms. and i hate to get shot by lrms....
but yes, teamplay is awful at this time =(

[Aerei]

I'm seriously starting to wonder if Tiers 4 and 5 had a better gaming experience. Sure the players there have no idea how to handle LRMs, and don't know the first thing about aiming, but at least they didn't run around in circles all the time, blatantly ignore objectives, intentionally move slower to hide behind teammates to inflate their performance, and talk more **** than Donald Trump.

So trying to coordinate an otherwise uncoordinated team is a bad thing?

[3xnihilo]

Finally have a good round in an assault (actually the highest damage I have ever done) and I get TK'ed (Peregrine Took is my clan alt.)

Yeah, my guess is he saw that big scary Kodiak come around the corner and panicked. It wasn't that big of a deal, but just one more Dakka, Dakka, Dakka and I would have broke 1000 for the first time

[el piromaniaco]

So that's your whine?
Cool. Posts about suggesting that you somehow "foul play" contests by group dropping against groups that stand still to be solo and KMDD killed by you to torpedo you to the top of leaderboards doesn'T bother you? Not that i thought of anythingl ike that actually happening.Give some good guy (and i think you are one of them) enough time/games, and he can lead all leaderboards.

Besides that,
played FW again once for a long time. Had one guy complaining about bad, stupid team, not following orders etc.
But there was no one giving orders, he didn't give any suggestions besides "stay together" charge as a groupc, etc.)
Maybe we should have anticipated the next move he was about to do and blend into his "great scheme"?
Well, we lost, he cursed and sweared, a match that wasn't good, but not so bad either, was turned into something unnecessarilly salty.

[3xnihilo]

I just had a round where 4 of my teammates didn't break 100 damage, 7 were under 150, and 10 were below 200. I had the high damage and high matchscore with a whopping 289 damage and 159 matchscore. Guess I need to learn to carry.


Also, I feel pretty dumb when I get to the end of the match and realize, "hey that mech had jump jets" and I never used them because I forgot I had them.

[UnofficialOperator]

Something is really weird with MM. I keep getting paired with this guy who will always go alone in the first 5 mins of the match and get himself killed. Seriously they need to show tiers to show what is going on with MM.

[Jon Gotham]

More and more mechpacks, still ignoring the one thing that spoils the game: player behaviour and attitude.

People love o complain about PGI (and there are some valid issues to complain about), but many of the complaints that are directed at PGI should instead be directed at the players themselves.

[Kasumi Sumika]

I hate it when game suddenly have hitch lag in middle of fighting. Just happen to me few times. When after I firing my weapons / enganging enemies then game just suddenly freeze for seconds then game stable again. It's annoying.

[Bud Crue]

Worst stretch of game play since I started. Probably 10 to 1, loss to win ration over the last several weeks. Feels like our merry band of casuals and drunks are constantly dropping against one competitive team after another. Don't know if the MM is working as intended and despite our terribleness we have all moved up in tier sufficiently to mathematically warrant being paired with such highly skilled opponents, or if the population is so low that the match maker just has no choice. Either way, it kind of sucks.

Already had that a couple of times.
Happens when you swap mechs regularly.
Worst thing when you had a good game and come to think "gee, what I would have been able to accomplish if only I used those jjs"
