Technically there isn't really a lot of shame in someone posting a pic of you beating their asses.

Did they do something unfair? I mean, besides beating you?

Well , the last data gathering results made by PGI (IS mechs teams vs Clan Mechs teams) showed that 90% of matches clans win.

So....yep even if they CAN....it's just a lame and cheap move.

the picture just proofs that IS and clan mechs are perfectly balanced, oh wait...

Q: What about scoreboards? May I post a screenshot of my the MechWarrior Online end-of-match screen?

A: Yes, so long as it does not serve the purpose of humiliating or defaming another person. If you feel as though a post containing a scoreboard screenshot has been posted in an attempt to target, inflame or otherwise 'make fun' of a specific player or group of players, please use the forum Report function and our moderators will use their judgement accordingly.

I don't see any humiliation of the players in the screenshot.

So, we're allowing Name and Shame threads on the front page, and not shutting them down.

All I'm seeing is some naming...but no shaming.

The OP posted a picture of himself losing and then attempted to "shame" the winning team because they beat his team fair and square (within the rules of the game).

That's pretty funny actually.

[SuperJoe]

I guess his point is that they're going full blown min/max meta?

but uh.. ggclose

[Mawai]

I don't see anything wrong with the team.

However, I think the point the op was trying to make is that the team fielded is pretty much fully optimized. They chose full sets in each weight class (except assault) of what are pretty much considered the best or near best mech in each class.

Ember
SCR
TBR
DWF (and one Warhawk for giggles I guess).

As for the comment about damage. A good team doesn't need players doing 800 damage ... in fact a focused team will kill opponents so fast that no one will get the opportunity to do 800 damage since the opponents will die too quickly.

If you just focus on coring someone it's not going to show that you did a lot of damage.So damage isn't a good showcase in skill.

but skill? In this game? Pbbft-fartfartfart-

[Felbombling]

Hey Riyott... YOUR team composition and numbers are missing from that link. I'm guessing you have something to hide... like perhaps your 12-man team got owned by a mixed group, or the anemic damage you did in defeat. ggclose

[Flyby215]

Scrolling through the posts, it seems no one has tried to explain this... I would assume it unnecessary, but I'll post anyway.

@OP they're House of Lords players, they are a very competitive team that collectively share a strong play-to-win mentality, and always bring their A-game and A-mechs to a match, as a team.

As a team they are exceptionally hard to beat, and have a very high win-percentage. To that end, I would suggest you try your best regardless. To my mind, when up against a very skilled comp team (228, SJR, HoL, for example) I would always be happy to get 1-2 kills and respectable performance from myself, no matter what the final match score ends up as. You can't win every match, but you can certainly put up a good fight!

[Lyoto Machida]

What am I supposed to be lolling at? Give me a hint, please.

[Scurry]

Lol riyott, a bit too obvious, don't you think?

You're slipping, bub.

[Kilo 40]

what a bunch of bull...

they are playing in the group queue

never mind...

[Kh0rn]

This is what you do when your in the competitive division. Best mechs best builds. Because the enemy team you will face will probably have the same. Plus hours and hours days and days they play together so they can work out strats and stuff. Many other units do this as well.

Using them on your entire team i mean and getting a huge advantage ; an proven advantage during the IS vs Clan test.

Numbers never lie.

If you want to discuss about rights and stuff then you're losing your time and don't understand my point which is supported by an official result of...

90% OF MATCHES WON BY PURE CLAN MECHS TEAMS. <----This is why we are getting the 12 vs 10 matches planned for a future patch .

This is the kind of stuff why it's called an exploit because now that people know this fact (90% C-WINS 12vs12) they MAY abuse of this and abusing on something to win is LAME AND CHEAP in the name of "I CAN DO IT" ; pls dude don't make me come to specifics ok you're aware of this.
