Seriously, though, it's fun to point fingers at the "worst of the worst of the worst, with honors, sir" but it really boils down to lack of meaningful communication.

I'm sure those of you that are younger than I am (I'm 46) speak multiple languages and it's not that much of an issue. I speak three languages myself...four if there's beer involved (English, Teenager, Army and...if I drink enough...Canadian).

I get up at 0400 every morning...I can't help it. I've been doing it way too long. When I get on the game, it's German Prime Time. I only speak enough German to start a bar fight. Not really useful here.

It's a shame we don't have a radio communication tree like they do in counterstrike. I could hit F5 for "Stick together Team" and it would spout it out in German to my teammates. Instead, I might as well be typing "Hump the Ostrich" to my team in chat...for all the good it does.

Still, if we have to point fingers at the most useless organizations....allow me to put this forward as the worst of the worst, with honors, sir:

1 ) Clan Gummi Bear
2 ) Clan Derp Chicken
3 ) House Steiner
4 ) House Liao (I don't know about you, but they seem to like to shoot friendlies more than anyone else)

The rest...I dunno. They're not Dragoons and they're not Wolves...so, I suppose we can let them use the porta potties.

humping the ostrich is actually viable in SOME maps

OP probably got just stomped badly in one game where he happened to have Marik teammates. I know how forum QQers' brains function.

No no... House Marik is better at in fighting than waging war. Its documented very well over a very long time!

My input (For IS factions)

Davions - hit or miss

Marik - generally ok

Steiner - LOL bad

FRR - generally good

Liao - subpar

Kurita - hit or miss

That is similar to my view as well, but only extends to 4 mans in pug, pre-MM change. Truly, it is hard to pin down skill level of individual puggers. However, since I personally greet every Marik player at the start of the match and also watch their end screen results, I can say that most Marik players, whether they are friend or foe, do perform at atleast average competency.

that can't be right.
did you mean to say best pilots?

the marik won the first tournament with trial mechs after all.

don't you mean davion?

Nope meant what I said. Davs are far better than Mariks, I have no house affiliation, just going on what I see drop in drop out. Marik and Steiner are the two houses that need to be herded into combat every time. Otherwise they sit on their hands behind a hill somewhere til they're outnumbered and become victims of "Last pug to die syndrome".
