Sometimes I wonder who ARE these people that can play so bad. Lightest mech in game tops both teams.

It happens you try to get your team to do something constructive you even tell them where you are headed and why. They move forward but when you need them they are no where near you. So you get crushed like a used Surge can and your team rallies and they have great games and your creates a vast area of negative pressure.

Just had a tie assault game where the remaining enemy mech is pretty beat up and we had 2 pretty fresh mech+1 beatup mech. Our 3 mechs couldn't finish off 1 beat up mech because they simply cannot aim at the last remaining ST. Enemy mech ends up killing our fresh HBR, killing our beat up Blanner and stripping our Jag to zero weapons. Enemy would have won too if not for the timer running out. Our guys were just spraying all over enemy mech and not torso turning whereas enemy mech was torso turning all the time and focus firing on open components...

How are these guys that have ZERO aim in T1 matches is beyond belief...

Because quick play and group queue are by there nature, Trash. Thats why I only play CW.

Not that I really want to play on Canyon, but should it really take 5 hours of play before it even comes up for a vote. On that note, Viridian, has only come up twice. One wonders why they have as many maps as they do.


PS.
I still suck at this game.

Well, I'd be lying if I didn't say I wasn't one of "those" MechWarriors sometimes.

I'm sometimes equally capable of dropping a 1k+ damage match, with 3-4 kills and such, as I am of delivering a sub 100 damage match, where I'm dead in the first 60 seconds because I brain farted my way into an open part of the map all by myself, with no cover, right as Red Teams Charlie lance comes in and swarms me.

But to my own credit, I at least generally am fully aware of where/how I went wrong in those instances. And I have enough "good-to-actually-honestly-great" matches under my belt that I don't hang up my cooling vest in dejection and shame.

But I've definitely, for example, found myself in matches with Tier 1 folks like UnofficialOperator, where I've caught myself saying "Uh-oh, what happened, and how did I get in here?!!" and felt like a drunk Pee-Wee Herman in a cage match in the octagon.

PSR is bull crap they claim it doesn't mix tiers or tries not too, but it quite blatantly does. Every game.

Whats more annoying is it will dump T1 and T2 players into a T5 match and expect them to carry the whole team. So generally speaking T1/2 players should only ever drive their metamechs and best performers to even stand a chance of winning.

It doesn't stop there though there are plenty of T5 players that are far superior to some T1/2 players (like myself when i often do something stupid usually by getting impatient). So in that respect you stand no chance.

Impatience kills the best of us.

there is enough bizerker in my blood to resemble that remark...

My video card died.

Can't play anything DirectX because it will lock up the game. Found that out the hard way.

I tried under clocking it to stabilize it. Didn't work. It is now loading bad textures everywhere.

Now I need to find $400.00.

In the mean time, I can barely get 45 fps with an old card I scrounged out of an old computer with everything on low.

I'll derp my way into bad situations more often that I care to admit... if I manage to live and escape, I know the other team has poor aim

I usually end up doing this in brawlers. Although, rather curiously, it only really occurs with Orions, on Polar Highlands or Canyon Network, and the specific situation tends to be me chasing a squirrel out of sheer boredom and ending up literally in the middle of the enemy's deathball with none of them realising I'm not friendly.....

Funny as hell watching them flounder about when they realise that an angry 75 ton metal mauling machine just appeared at sub 200 meter range.

or in my case get team "saved" about 15 seconds after I die and then see the swarm of blue running past my dead mech and squish the enemy as I go to spectate

That really creates a vast area of negative pressure.

I really wanted to participate in the MWA but no i cant come home.

grrrr what a bad day today. no body can push, just poke and die as solo warrior.....

i did have one good game.

River city conquest

headed over the bridge with a kodiak, me in a ss Boars head. jumped gamma took out a couple and pushed the lights off. headed down to thata and got dead hitting their assaults. we were up in points at this point but down in mechs 5 to 6. the team rallied and murder balled while the other team scrambled to cap. we had 4 caps and 600ish to their 350. game ended 12 to 8, they had 3 caps we had 2, 740ish to 675ish. i had a dismal 280ish dam but 2 kills 5 component, while the Kodiak had 700 plus and 3 kills. basically i was in the lead got focused while the kodiack was a 1/2 step behind getting ignored and pounding them. i dropped at sub 30% a good game none the less.

Got pounded today. Lost all but one match best damage was 300+. PUGs just can't keep it together.
