It's pretty sad you see it what way. Why don't you try playing an ecm/tag scouter for a while, because obviously you are not getting that this game has different roles who's job is not merely to "kill robots" but help others "Kill robots" and protect them while doing so.
I play ecm lights pretty often.
People that have a 3w/l and a below 1kdr and dont break 100dmg like the guy from the screenie below are maybe 1 in 10000 the rest are simply bad at the game. To be honest given the fact how he recognized that i needed ecm cover for that flank and how he executed it with 0 communication i highly doubt he has a dmg average of 100...
I had over 10k drops before the game left beta and things like the below happened maybe 5 times in the solo queue.
I just write all of this because i remembered the guy from caustic and feel like i should recognize that there are players that MAY fall into that scheme but god help me if ive seen more than 10 in 10k solo drops, the fact alone that i screenshotted it and recalled it is a testament to how rare of an occurance that is.
I would have been dead and maybe done 500 damage if that guy in the spider wouldnt have followed me and covered me in his bubble for the whole flank.
The stories where i ask for ecm cover from 4 (FOUR) ecm lights standing 300m besides me and they dont even ***** move or do ANYTHING else or how i run to an ECM spider to break LRM rain from 3 boats that are in the open with no TAG and no backup weapons (FREE KILLS!) and he runs away in a completely random direction are countless...
These are the 0.65kdr 100dmg players, they are bad at the game.
To be honest though my stand on this is pretty simple. I have been playing shooters vs. other people since Doom and one thing never changed, the ones that do the damage/kills are the ones that win the games because no matter what the objective is its easier to achieve against a dead enemy.
