Brutal.

The Pugzapper: It's like the battle of Thermopylae, except both sides are going through the pass.

Oh, and the first person that says, "But it's good to go into the PUGZAPPER when..."

Just uninstall the game now, spare the rest of us.

There is no good reason to go to the PUGZAPPER... ever... even on Conquest.

How can you zap pugs if you aren't there to do it?

Who came up with "Pug Zapper"?
That man deserves an award.

Last night in general was just off. I can't speak for the number of opposing premades, but tonnage certainly didn't factor much into some really abrupt and ignominious losses.

As far as Terra Therma -- the ring is just a strong example of why hesitation and poor timing conspire to forfeit a match. I've seen poorly defended rings fall to a bold entrance from each perspective, so I wouldn't say control of the area is necessarily better.

Had two Atlai on Crimson Strait conquest, DDC and RS, pregame screaming "follow the atlas, lalalalala, brofist!" and most of us rational people can understand where this is going. I call it and try to reason with them, but apparently I don't know how invincible these two bros are in their Atali.

They rush Epsi from bottom, whole enemy team is there, RS stops, DDC just decides to stomp around Epsi until dying 8 seconds later and then ******* the entire game about how we would have won if we decided to commit suicide as well.

Game ends with the enemy team winning on resources, last friendly left alive is the other Atlas who ran off to the edge of the map near Gamma, since his 2 PPCs were great at shooting people in the back at 900+ M.

This is one of the main things I'm scared of with the new 3x4 queue, wish there was a way to kick someone off of a weight class(Edit: for a # of games/hours) if they do enough dumb shit, I just hope these two don't end up being in my bracket, or lose their ELO quick enough with that type of shitty play to get away from me.

I was on that team with you. I'm pretty sure they were trying to sync drop with that DDC on the other team, but they got put on opposite sides, so they each told their teams to OMG GANG RUSH WE WIN FOLLOW THE ATLAS OR DIE. Our team wasn't stupid enough to listen, though.

You have to remember for every team that walks into the Pugzapper and gets slaughtered there is another team who thinks going to the Pugzapper was the best idea ever.

I'm usually pretty stoic when it comes to most of the absurdity witnessed in the course of a PUG drop... That said, tonight I might very well have witnessed an apex example.

I drop on Mordor into a skirmish and watch the three lances form up into a blob. They're a determined bunch and I'm not going to debate the pros and cons of blobbing on Mordor and dutifully accompany them on their quest...

I then watch 9 of the drop composite hurd themselves up at one of the PUG zapper entrances and watch in horror as they bunch up, shoulder to shoulder and butt to belly and witness the systematic slaughter of those teammates... with little I could do to stop the carnage.

I and two others break off and vainly try to flank but are simply focused down by direct fire and a LRM deluge.

No offense to the players in that match but seriously... Word of advice: Never-ever blob up in an entrance to the PUG zapper and God forbid if you do... have the nuts to push through so the rest of the team has a chance to take a few shots before getting mowed down by focus fire.

That match was such an odd mixture of humor, horror and sadness... I'm not sure even a pound of bacon might remedy it...

I'll betcha at least half of them didn't know they had arm lock on, either......

I would rather win or lose decisively in volcano than wait for my pugs to wander off getting killed 2-3 at a time.

I agree totally!!

Sadly I see it every game almost! I yet to understand what advantage they think they have as they bunch up! half the time they are shooting each other in the back or arms because that one guy keeps walking infront of them.

The Pugzapper allows players to use the two greatest tactics in MW:O, jumping up and down and walking forward and back. Thus the subtle differences in MW:O's gameplay is explored.

LIES!!! I read it!

But I already knew it was a terrible idea, so maybe that doesn't count?

Also, I shall forevermore call it the Pugzapper of Mordor.

Actually, all the pugs that read this already know...

I will say the Caldera has done one great thing for me. I got to stand on top of the head of a Dragon (literally, standing on his snout) in one of my SDH and shoot him for 30 seconds solid while he tried to climb the wall by an entrance point. Arms are wonderful...
