I'm glad some people are genuinely trying to contribute to winning. I'm would wonder how it's even done if I hadn't seen it myself. People actively piloting their mechs away from combat, in brawler builds. Good stuff.

Yeah sneeking, not talking about low dmg when you get instagibbed early on some games, that happens, cockpit snipes are rare but still exist etc.

Specifically mentioning a 10min+ game on alpine, where a summoner and a timber wolf respectively pulled 6 and 7 dmg, while staying alive the entire game, only to watch the rest of team fall and flee at the end. There was one big engagement where they could have used their close/medium ranged weapons to good effect, but instead, I really don't know how they pulled under 10 dmg each. Just saw them flee from a chasing stormcrow and a cicada at the end while the rest of the enemy team cap won us.

Let me just put that down again to clarify: a summoner (70ton mech) and a timber wolf (75ton mech, one of the best mechs in the heavy category atm, borderline op), turning tail and running from a chasing cicada (40ton) and a stormcrow (55ton)... Might have understood a tiny bit if both the fleeing heavies were somewhat damaged and nearly cored/out of ammo/few weapons remaining etc, but they had most of their armor left as well. It just...makes...no sense. Also just the fact that they are in clan mechs to me kinda means they are dedicated to this game, since those are not too cheap atm (guess I am wrong about that one though).

Anyways I apologize for the rant, just had to vent a little. Hope you all don't run into guys like that too often, whether on your team or the enemy's, there just isn't any sport in it imo.

I'm more concerned with Assaults, usually trials, that march right into the middle of the map in the early game only to get instagibbed by the whole enemy team.

I don't often see assaults/heavies running off to hide. But I can see why that would suck.

Might be because the people piloting them are non-confrontational. Thus, they crumble when there is any sort of conflict to be found.

Really, if someone was like that, my best advice to them: Uninstall & play something else, as they're going to go nowhere with this way of "playing" if it can be called that.

If they were non-confrontational they should prolly have used some kind of LRM boat, but atleast the Timber wolf was a 100% brawler build, had srms and pulse lasers. Kinda doubt they'd be uninstalling soon, since they went and actually bought a clan mech each.

Ah well, still hoping it's just cuz they were new at the game and really didn't know what to do, in which case I guess we've all been there (although when I was new I was more of the run in and get ganked type, the other end of the undesirable teammate spectrum )

Sorry lol, didn't know where to post this, just wanted to vent a little, maybe some mod can move it if it's too much of an eyesore. Can't find the thread, is it in general discussion?

Ah found it, thanks dude.

Oh dear, I do hope this game doesn't turn into World of Tanks with all it's hiding then drowning antics.

I haven't seen this happen in any of my matches yet.

[Macksheen]

Don't pick on the summoner too much; having recently done my purgatory in them I can say that Cicada probably and Stormcrow CERTAINLY outgunned and outmaneuvered the Summoner.

here is my problem...when people forget they are playing a Conquest game and all skirmish. I was just in one where my entire team died because everyone ran to theta and died leaving an Epsilon capped by the other side with barely any bar. It was insane.

[Hexenhammer]

Not saying it would work or even if its a viable option but it'd be nice if match maker started grouping up low level damage dealers.

And just to make sure people don't try to game the system if a person is in a 'low damage bracket' the only stat that counts if losses and deaths.

That has been going on since long before Skirmish was added (sadly)

I don't play conquest - I like C-bills. If I had all the C-bills I wanted, I'd play that mode, but as it is, the rewards are crippled.

I did like 90 dmg in my Orion once and backed off early, we have 11-3 and i went AFK. Ended up being 11-9 cause of some OP Direwolf that can 1 shot anybody and he was clipped inside a wall in a corner (what bs)

Anyway, my Orion is trash compared to my Warhawk and Timberwolf, both are more or same tonnage yet better in every way.
