Well, you are not alone, lol.

It's just funny...how desperately he needs to prove himself, that the one time he kills me.....it's monumental to him. Pretty sad, actually. Kinda glad I live in a foreign country. Kinda worried he'd be lurking outside my house, next.

I would lose my mind too if I had the chance to kill you in a battle.
Sadly I know for a fact that you could easyly kill me with only a locust with a small laser.

The whole leaderboard is a fraud like most everything else. Synch dropping into solo does not make you a killer. it makes you lame. Sorry but I know a couple in there only synch and admit it openly.

Its the easy path and as we know the majority always takes the easy path then the ego and lies come out.

If you guys really want to know who is on top track the group players and shun the synch droppers. Of course that wont happen as fraud is the order of the day here.

lol....Hate to break it to ya' Kuro, but there are a ton of people in this world willing to game a system to get seven bucks...lol. I''m not at Mud's level of everyone's sync'ing all the time, but I've heard of a few big groups that do and have done it, taking the top spot in a bracket. I doubt it's worth PGI's time to delve into the data to tease out who's doing it, and it may good for them because it gets a larger group of people to sit around on comms and play their game. If it were worth more money, you might expect regulatory authorities to get involved. But this is peanuts, and it doesn't seem Canada is quite the litigious place the States are, so it's under the radar of lawyers looking to make a killing for themselves under the moniker of class-action "justice"

...and yes, the LCT (1E anyways) is a BAMF.

I'm gonna be doing yard work today, not sure if I want to keep grinding at it later today and again tomorrow.

None of the above. I believe in real honor and integrity in anything I do. I think most though can easily justify having something up their sleeve if it gets them what they want. It just goes to character, something I can easily say by experience most people lack. I'm on an island and not the one most jackasses here whine about. Happy to be on that island and not see you there.

I am aware of the syncdrop. And I apologise if I offended anyone by my previous post.
But if some people are treacherous and are using such tactics. It is not enought to be globalised the whole population of player.


I am probably too much optimist. But I feel like most of the player in the leaderboard challenge did not used such tricks in order to get so hight.


Personatly, I opted in the challenge, but I just play normally.

These tournaments reward the worst kind of vulture behavior there is - just like all the other ones.

The real reason PGI is running these tournaments is to collect data on these chassis so that they have a metric on game balance. For the vultures out there: please just stop playing - you're making the game un-fun for everybody else.

That Win requirement needs to go away, relying on people to play smart isn't good. Very infuriating!

I feel the pain. The "kill" requirement needs to be removed. It happened a few times today: strip ALL an enemy's armor just to have someone shove in and then deliver the killing blow.



The most annoying time was right after I stripped a CN9-AH of ALL its front (both ST & CT) torso armor and a timber wolf shoves in front of me obviously to gank the kill. So....(I'm max zoom as usual and trying to shoot around him) I shoot THROUGH its right shoulder launcher and end up removing his right arm but unfortunately he still got the killing blow.

Perfect example of a vulture.

And yes, the good players do know things other than their meta. They generally play every mech that releases, no matter how awful it happens to be.

The meta is boring and everyone should pilot whichever mech+weapon config they like regardless of any 'handicaps' it is perceived to have.
I always smile when those anti-meta mechs happen to have either the most kills/assists and/or highest damage counts

Query,

In solo queue last night I queried about a possible sync drop of 3 members from the same unit. They openly admitted that it was their intention. One of the players happens to be in the top 10 for the current Tournament. I do have screenshots of admission and their results.

Is this fair? Should it be allowed? If such persons were not in the top rankings I would probably leave things alone but because there is an advantage being in a successful solo sync drop where prizes are a stake I think this is taking things a little it too far.

What is the general opinion about this?

Cheers!

[Michael Abt]

Tournament rules say: "Only solo matches will be counted. Private and group matches will NOT be counted." The intention of that rule is clear, so sync dropping is exploiting a weakness in order to regain the group advantage. My opinion.

[ShinobiHunter]

Personally I would report it and let PGI sort it out.

[AntiCitizenJuan]

I'm not really sure if the scoring system is wonky or I'm just **** at the game now

But But But Syncdrop doesnt work according to the syncdroppers lol. Just look at it as they have to make up for a lack of skill. Doing things on your own is scary and its always best if you can game the system. Inflated K/D and winrate have to be maintained even if they have been padded in the group que lol.

I know many of the matches I drop in have other lord players, but we do not attempt to sync drop (in fact, we would prefer it if we didn't sync drop in my experience). Many of us streamed our games so it's pretty clear that we don't. At least 25% of my games have 3-4 other unit members in them on both teams.

I imagine some would also sarcastically joke about syncdropping. I know I probably have at least once.

How does having other good players on the other team do one's K/D any favours?

So having 11 other lords players on your team then waiting for the matchmaker to stretch after 2minutes to find you any match isnt padding? Lol individual skill is what it is. If you have to syncdrop in the soloque than obviously you have serious issues about your skill level.

How does having other good players on the other team do one's K/D any favours?

odd how my responses all got boxed in. I think most of the player base would agree syncdropping is a cheat. Im sure the Lords wouldnt do anything like that because they wouldnt have too do to their skill level. Am I correct?

....no? If 6-7 of us are solo queuing and it takes a long time to find a match, the chance we end up in a game together increases. Are you implying that we have some secret ability to delay the matchmaker so that we purposefully all get into a game?

And like I said, many of us stream. On my stream you see me, if anything, purposefully try to avoid dropping with other good players.

I really don't think you understand the concept of how it would hurt attempts at stat padding to have good players on both teams.

Edited by Krivvan, 26 October 2014 - 05:51 PM.

[beerandasmoke]

How would it hurt your W/L ratio if those players ended up on the same team? Isnt that the whole point of syncdropping? ELO is based off of W/L ratio and not kills. Either way im not going to get into a he said she said arguement. Russ done said he doesnt think its an issue so its just something we have to tolerate solopugging.

Is this synch dropping to you? How the hell would games like those help me pad my stats?

You don't end up on the same team with any sort of consistency. You're more likely to end up on opposite teams were someone to attempt synch dropping.

There's even this game here: http://www.twitch.tv...859?t=01h03m20s which was the only example I could find of several of us ending up on the same team. There's nothing said on the teamspeak server and the only communication we had in game is completely visible (it isn't much). It's also a game that does no favours to my stats.

The locust score is outrageous; 2100! That is impressive.. ..why?

Assumption 1 - It will not do HUGE amounts of damage, but can get good scores so setting average of 600 damage (40pts)

That leaves 170 points per match...

5 kills = 100
7 assists = 70

Aaaand times that by 10... ...now consider the frequency that kind of score typically happens...

It is impressive either way..
