So, due to a match this evening i am now curious about what the best match other players/lances have had and still lost. i hear a lot about "carrying the team" but we all know only so much can be done before you go down.

my lance mates and i saved a base cap, pushed back into the enemy team and held them back, as our team dropped like flies. some did ok damage, but many just sort of fell over. we finally run out of ammo, are torn to shreds, and a lone Jagermech, nearly fresh, walks through us, while a few other guys derp around. we loose to cap, 11-11 kills per team.

end of score screen my lance had 10 out of 11 kills, and almost 3000 damage. a phenomenal performance, and we still lost. only so much you can do i guess.

I really, really wish I could say that I did awesome in this match. It sure looks that way, but really, I almost wanted to cry afterwards. As an example of what I mean, I took out a stalker by standing in front of it and blasting away as it tried to lrm me at ~150 meters.

8 Kills in an Assault Pug on Terra Therma as a solo Player. While i did take out 2 full Lances my entire Team was wiped and the surviving 4 enemys finally destroyed my heavily damaged Firebrand.

I got some Matches in Times of 16 Player-Matches where i killed 7 Enemys and still lost. But that was long ago and i dont remember what the exact circumstances were. Somehow i miss the Times wher you could have killed the whole enemy Team alone. Never did that in a 24 Player-Match.

Solo? I've hit up to 800, 3 kills, while still ending at an 'all mechs destroyed' loss. I'm usually in Atlai or 'Phracts.

As a group, best we've done and still lost was 790 (3 kills), 714 (2 kills), 450 (1 kill), 480 (1 kill). Every dead mech was our doing. Admittedly, the enemy was no slouch, so we didn't feel robbed exactly, but sometimes the disparity in effectiveness can be a real bummer.

I probably get top 3 in my matches for DMG around 15-20% of the time. Again, that's the role I've chosen. Sometimes I get the chance to be the hero of the match, sometimes I truly suck and still get to win.

And then there's those times when one mech just can't win the game. Oi!

Edit: re-read your post, yeah - I didn't include capping losses for best performance despite a loss, since IMO, losing to cap after an aggressive destruction of the majority of the enemy is an issue with intentions and roles, not performance. Sometimes, the one mech you don't kill is happy to cap, and the guys left alive on your end don't wish to. For me, those sorts of matches are worth a "well, we did all we could.". The ones that really have me gritting my teeth are the ones where you die at the end after giving a Herculean effort, only to discover you were nearly alone in doing anything at all worthwhile. Those get a heary "F*** you, Matchmaker!"

Don't have a screenshot, but once got close to 1100 dmg with 6-7 kills but lost to cap points (it was conquest).

Ok I admit, I wasn't giving a toss about caps and was totally blood thirsty....

Oh I have a lot of these... the third one especially is a 'WTF team.'

Is this the thread where I post pics of me doing more damage than my whole team combined while solo? I have a couple 8v8 ones that are LEL?





I have a 12v12 one I did 500+dam and the next closest person did 161dam. Everyone else combined did 882 dam. It's hard to do more damage than the whole team combined in 12s.

DC at the start didn't help. Was me and the Jager last alive and neither of us were long for the world.

Sadly, the MM is working as intended : 4 of the best light players in the same lance, it can't handle that.
