i see people simply logging out of the game when their team goes down by 3 or 4. Might as well i guess.

PGI makes stupid challenges, get stupid activity.

If anything i think events like these are funny as they expose the true meta. In a week we will all go back to pretending lrms are easy to avoid and take skill, and certain mechs dont have magic hitboxes that allow them to take less damage than they should.

People are using LRMs because support weapons tend to have a high chances of winning. If the challenge was to get 5 kills in a match, everyone would be using AC weapons.

Yes, kinda the point i was making.

Your point was trying to imply that the meta is LRMs. That is not accurate. LRMs work fantastic against bad players. Typically bad players are out in the masses for the challenges and tournaments.

Took me 67 matches. Didn't seem too bad. I just played to win, and got kills when I could. Didn't jump in front of a teammate's alpha to steal their kill or anything. About half of the matches where done in a BJ-1X w/ 2 LPLs, 2MLs.

I would love to get the mech as much as anyone else participating (free mech with free mechbay? why not?) but the matches currently occurring are the worst I've played since the last time kills and assists both matter for the qualification, only made worse by having to win instead of just a match score.

My win percentage in solo queue is roughly 50% (MM working as intended?) but now my matches since this event started have been hovering around a 23% win ratio. Even worse is on those wins only 33% qualify because even when about to get a kill all of a sudden 3-4 team mates show up and alpha it, bringing it to a 7.7% qualification rate. This will result in me needing to play roughly 390 matches to qualify statistically. Having roughly a day and a half to play in this event, I'm tempted to just give up now with those odds.

Can we at least go back to 1 Kill + 1 Assist + X Match Score? Those were at least possible.

What I don't understand are the players who are playing WAY too cautious. The VTR challenge I understand since you had to live, but do they not realise that for this one you don't need to live? Hiding behind cover with your tail between your legs does not improve your chances of getting a kill or winning the game. Grow a pair for god's sake and start pew-pewing some red triangles.

As for me? I'm not aiming to complete the challenge. The 3 day prem is enough for me, so I'll just carry on like I usually do. I completed the VTR challenge and it was enough of a headache, I ain't bothering again this time.

Updated Status on this hopeless event for a 1.5 days of playing while not working (had to work during the beginning of event and have to work during the end of the event)
34 Matches (13 with kills)
14 Wins (8 with Kills)
8 Qualify

I only have roughly half a day left and have only gotten 8 qualifying matches while playing...this is ridiculous... I find that I have multiple kills on losing games (carry much?) and have several wins with no kills where I've done 500+ damage.

Those last half a dozen or so we'd had were doing pretty well actually because they were based on match score and people contributing to the team, at least somewhat better. This one is awful in comparison.

[HellAvenger]

I raged, brought out my maxed out timberwolf (special homebrew build) instead of my stock mechs. immediately qualification points

Yea... was hoping to encourage more people to get in Community Warfare queue for just that very reason, Major Tryhard

I am playing as usual and trying to take the fight to the enemy.

42 games played, 21 qualified, 16 losses, 5 wins with no kills.

Hardest part of the game is either friendlies jumping in front of your sights and getting hammered for it, or cowering behind you waiting until the enemy is ready to "pop".

Does team kill counts ?, cos since this event starts, there are players that kill team mates the moment the game starts, it is extremely annoying

[MauttyKoray]

21 hour status update
36 matches played
14 Wins
6 Wins with no kill
8 Qualified

Oh look, I haven't gotten a single ******* qualified match in the last several hours...

[Felicitatem Parco]

If your Win/Loss ratio is hurting "because of the tournament," then consider this:

Your opponents are also playing with the same bad people that caused you to lose...

.. so, what makes your team different from their team? *You* do.
