Does watching someone suicide while killing a disconned player count?

How about a player TK'ing a discon on his own team at match start?

Had a LOL game this week. CW match on Sulferous Rift my team was PUGs and we got pushed back into our drop point by some good Lights play. Came out of the Dropship with a Cataphract double Gauss... BANG! (Kill) BANG! (Kill) BANG! (Kill)

We got wiped but to lay waste to that first set of lights in my 'Phract felt great. Ended the match with 6 of my teams 12 kills...

I got one that happend years ago but it was so unique that it stuck in my head all this time. I think it was when we still only had 8 mechs.
It was on Caustic Valley. I was in a Jenner loaded up with a mix of weaponry. I found an enemy Atlas alone at the slopes of the crater.
I did hit and run tactics. Whenever i knew he saw me run into cover i made certain he saw me run to the left for example when i disappeared from his sight.
Naturally he assumed i would come out of cover to his left....but i changed direction when line of sight was broken and hit him from another angle.

I kept doing this and we were left alone by our teams. The Atlas pilot probably said to his team he wanted to duel me.
My accuracy was very low so he was completly chewed up when he finally fell over.
I was the last one standing on my team and we lost the match but a teammate said something like this:
All hail that loon in a Jenner.
That's the best thing he could have said. I'll remember that till the day i'm an old wrinkly raisin.

I was in an Assault match in the old Caustic Valley, we were losing 10v9, I was in a SDR-5K.
On the mini map I could see two of their guys fighting my last teammate on our base's side of the cauldron, I was fighting a mech on their base's side of the cauldron.
Just as I killed the mech I was fighting, my last teammate died, so I headed for their base and started capping. Their base was the one with the piece of equipment and edge of their base at the bottom of a mountain.
My mech was at 69%, the base was at 35% captured when a Timber Wolf, and a Firestarter showed up. I kept moving side to side trying to stay out of their range of fire, but still in their base, behind the piece of equipment. They tried to take turns leaving the base confines to snipe at me, and I managed to kill the Firestarter and take out one of the Timber Wolf's legs, with the base at about 85% captured, and my mech around 35%.
The Timber Wolf kept trying to hit me from within the base confines and I kept moving back and forth. He finally left the base confines, climbed the hill, firing as he went. He managed to knock out all of my machine guns and had me down to 17% with no arms and one leg when he overheated and shut down. While he was shut down, I finished capping the base and won the match.

I got the "Hat Trick", "Crap, I'm Going to Die!", "Seriously, I'm Dead This Time!", and "Yep, Dead For Sure" achievements, and the "Survivor", "Bad Company", and "Little Helper" titles all in that match.

Most of my was stories are on my YouTube account MadSkull04 I also have a thread with my videos if you ever want to check them out.

My all time favorite story would be the ram win. In this game I was a buddy of mine last alive with no ammo. My buddy was in a shadow hawk and was in pretty bad shape. The other guy last alive on there team was a atlas completely stripped. (no weapons) we won the game because my buddy rammed a few good shots into the atlases torso and blew him up for the win. Best part I caught it all on video. Ram win on my youtube account. Madskull04

I was in a big fat hamplanet landwhale
The match started, everyone scatters
The heavies goes blindly into the oblivion we all known as the gateway to Valhalla
The Meds and Light follows,
leaving us fatties behind,
slowly we slumber, stumbie across the god awful ring or nascar
We died, and then the dead told us that we are noobs.......

This was a while ago. I was on Tourmaline Desert in my Protector. My build was PPCs and AC5s. The game came down to me and a Shadowhawk. I've ran dry of AC5 ammo and the Shadowhawk only has 2 med lasers left and was sticking close trying to wear me down. No way I can ran far enough away for my PPCs to do any damage, but I noticed one of his leg has no armor left. I dropped arty in front of me and ran straight through. He was busy nipping at me and didn't notice the smoke. Arty came in and took out his leg, just as I'd hoped. That slowed him down so I can get far enough away to finish off with the PPCs. That arty was worth every 40,000 c-bills.

[jper4]

it was like the stars aligned yesterday. in my cicada L w/ LPL and 2 MPL on terra therma assault. our assault lance is off in the no man's land drop point and being the good medium I run over to them as they start matching away from the other two lances in "assault lance base capture mode" I finally caught up to them taking the scenic flanking route when it happened. the enemy assault lance found our assault lance and there was little ol' me at a 90 degree angle to them. so I start shooting and shooting. occasionally one of the enemy returned fire only for me to duck and the friendly assaults getting their attention back.

heat coming up some but finally BOOM dead stalker. now an atlas waddles forth to flank us, not noticing i'm still behind him and his flanking move. he starts shooting. I start shooting his back. have to single fire the MPLs due to heat. rear armor starts going down. he never turns around to look at me. finally rear armor is bright read, he overheats- i wait a few seconds to cool down alpha, overheat, it dies.

at this point only a friendly stalker and king crab are left with me and we head down the valley towards the base when I realize... that dire wolf that was out here I don't see dead yet. or running away. hmm what's this dire whale doing just standing there in the middle of the path among the dead mechs- I poke it with a MPL, it's arms pop up and down but still no targeting square. hmm I say and poke it again as I move around it. same thing happens. I get behind it and alpha. suddenly...IT'S ALIVE! and not happy that we all didn't walk past and he could shoot us in the backs. he immediately alphas me and overheats, KC tears it up and I steal the kill.

at this point it's 7-7 and our side started capping as I lead our two remaining assaults over. then I see our base being caped. I wait a few seconds then decide the hell with it and charge over to the base about 2/3 of the map away. I get about halfway there when we win on cap. 3 kills, 2 assists and 945 damage at 85% health. had it been skirmish I probably would have broken 1k for the first time with 5 enemy mechs still left. oh well.

I won

I got Ace of Spades Legit

I head shot a Comando running full speed, in my Wang, at 250 meters with a full deflection shot, as it ran across the gap between two buildings by estimating when it would arrive by the speed it crossed the gap between the buildings before it, I was just figuring to hit it, the one shot kill was just the icing on the cake..

I missed timed firing all the weapons on a stock Nova Prime, by a faction of a second, it was the fastest and most unimpressive match I have ever had.

[Alienized]

i fired 2 ac20 shots out of my victor into the head of a battlemaster. mid-air, tiwsting like a madman.
because i was fighting a banshee-3m and a battlemaster. both pulse laser vomits.

only chance i had to kill something been headshots. and so i did that to the battlemaster.
jumping, twisting, firing. headshot after 2 precise shots in row.

crimson strait tunnel. alone. been called hacker. just been lucky with all the adrenaline letting me focus on these 2 shots.
it truly was a tunnel of focus.

This was last year (2014), but I have repeated it a few times in the last month on tourmaline desert.

So we dropped on tourmaline, no problem I was in the Griffin 3M with LRM 15, 3 LRM 5's, TAG, ML, BAP, and most of all Jump Jets. I was in a bouncy LRMey mech. So instead of staying with the team I was going to delay their assault lance, to allow an 11 on 8 engagement. When I engaged the lance it was 2 direwhales, Atlas DDC and a catapharact 3D. So time to take care of the biggest threat out in the open at 600 m. I all most felt sorry for the Catapharact he had no chance to get in to cover and the other assaults could not give him covering fire, so he died fast. Then the atlas came up the hill as I was bouncing around popping LRMs off using TAG. Again the Direwhales could not give supporting fire to make me run, so he died. Then I ran up a bit and caught the direwhales looking the other direction for me and below me, so doing what annoying LRM pilots do, I picked the one farther away that could actually hit me and fired on chain fire, just to be annoying and to disrupt his ability to engage me. So he died. Next was the last direwhale. He decided that running was the best option, but a bit too late.

I think I was still above 90% health. So at this point I have killed 370 tons of mech, but noticed a 6 and 11 above the screen. So the other 11 mechs only killed 2 of them, AUGH! At least may be they did a bit of damage to help me, nope.

First mech up was a locust speeding to me in a straight line with TAG on him. Two volleys of 30 missiles each and dead locust. Then the stormcrow, but again running at me over wide open ground no problem, TAG and Chain fire works well, so he died. Now I am below 100 missiles with 6 more mechs to kill. So I run to the southern area of the map to be able to target them at over 1000 m and decide who I am going to kill. None of the remaining mechs had open armor. Now I powered down in the place I was (sorry that is a secret spot) just to let them spread out to engage one mech more and try to kill. Everyone was chatting just go out and die, and other things. One guy wanted to say where I was.

So after about 1.5 minutes I could see that they were well divided and chose the Catapult A1 with all LRMs. Fired all my LRMs at him just before getting inside 180 m, no damage, and started to one ML him to death. Now I had to run the canyon below F7 to pop up on the back side of the center and work the ridge with my threatening ML and TAG. What do I see, a wang standing looking the other way. Now I popped an arty strike right behind him and good by AC 20 arm. So I start to fight him ML v 2 ML and all is going well I am hitting good, and more than him, but then I noticed the Raven coming up with the jagermech. Now I am getting rocked by auto canons, streaks and more ML's. Then the LRMs started (Hunchback 4J). When I went down I had his CT cherry red, so close to 8 kills.

So that was 7 kills and used just about all the skill I could. Now what did I do, attacked and wiped out 3 assualts with a heavy in 4 mini engagements on one on one. Then I expected people to rush me, that would pin me down long enough to let everyone swarm me, but I won those two 1 on 1 engagements. Then at the end a 1 v1 with a LRM boat with no back up weapons. Finally I almost had another 1v1 engagement, but his friends showed up just in the nick of time and I lost that 4v1 engagement. Notice a pattern, I only died when engaging more than one mech. Each fight was where I wanted to fight and how I wanted to fight. I think that I was carrying only 1440 LRMs but did over 1250 damage

Few days after I popped an XL 360 into my KGC I managed to carry my team across the Polar Highlands. Five kills, seven assists, over 1000 damage. Later half of all that was while I was cored because I decided to charge a couple heavies and a medium that were just over a hill.

Felt like a total badass, and my KGC now stands as my only owned 'mech to have a positive K/D ratio.


A match later that day I managed to solo squash three mediums and walked out of the match with just under 200 damage, which is probably the most efficient murdering I'll ever manage outside of scoring first shot headshots on every enemy I glance at.
