Nah he's just an ********,I was in the same team as him a few times and he started spouting shite at the very beginning,stuff like if your a noob team I'm gonna dc and let you all die etc.Total numpty.

I was trying to be fair but I seem to remember a recent match where he went off about the team and at the end I had done more damage and had more kills in my un-basic'd Panther than he in his Timberwolf. I don't have a screenshot to confirm but his name stuck because of attitude in game and forums.

[1xLocustx1]

not the worst round of all time but i just found it funny to carry the team in a Locust.
I also made all 8 kills that round.

Sometimes its really worse and i get loss after loss but then i tend to just quit and play something different.

But please black out the participants, as we are not trying to name and shame (even if...sometimes....dang your teammates SHOULD be ashamed.)

Aw, I came into this thread specifically to see how many times my name came up in the losing rosters : P

EDIT: Read through the thread now and some pretty wild score cards to behold lol

Couple guys here getting upset about such things being posted, but shouldn't let it bother you IMO. Stomps and shut-outs happen in any pvp game and are the result of multiple factors. So no one should feel bad about it, and that's clearly not the intent of the OP.

Getting a laugh from games like these is probably the best thing we can do with them.

This match still shocks me to this day. I only censored my team and those who died to me. There's no shame in killing me in that match.

[Dimento Graven]

I got vids on my YouTube channel where I get 7 kills and the rest of my team STILL manages to lose.

I won't post them here because I never bothered hiding the names of the guilty/unskilled in the vid.

TheDimentoGraven, "Almost a Good Game" is what always comes to mind as an example of WTF at the end of a match... I was piloting a quad-gauss Direwhale, trying to place shots appropriately, unfortunately while there were others who did score a lot of damage, their aim was less than effective (I'm a big proponent of AIMING your shots, not practicing the 'spray and pray' method weapon utilization so commonly used by those of lesser skills).

Ultimately, the only thing preventing us from actually wining that match was a lack of ammo on my part, otherwise, I probably would have had 9 or more kills.

exactly. Way too many people get all "SRSBZNZ" about stupid video games. If you are getting bent out of shape over something that is meant to be relaxing, fun recreation? Probably need to re-evaluate your life course.

Some of us aren't as used to losing as others are. Unless you're playing with little children, or people with some form of mental/physical challenge, if you're going to play, play to win.

The assumption is everyone on the team is taking the game at least as serious as I am, it certainly seems like the ENEMY team does.

First match of the day, I think it qualifies. I'm not proud of how I did in this game, but... What the hell can you do when you go from 0-0 to 1-9 in less than 2 minutes?

This isn't a very constructive thread. Instead of blasting some team for how bad they did. Why not offer them assistance since you are such a bad azz player (apparently). The game gets better as the players get better. So help them out. Don't belittle them.

^^
BUllshit and absolutely not true at all (with all due respect).... I have played in games with grouped clans that now Troll the MAtchmaker.... Adders with 3 Flamers,ect...Hunchbacks with 5 Lrms instead of the quirked 10s,ect.... They do this to deliberately piss people off... only 1 of them was actually playing the game and they were a 9 man group... .there is no way our 3 man can carry the entire team.

Here is a game... I followed Bishop Steiner's request to block out the names but I am leaving the Unit tags....
Explain to me how this is not a constructive thread and how... Its proves that while the MatchMaker is broken.. .so is the community and clans and units that play it...

I love this thread... unfortunately I have too many pictures of Bishop shaming himself in a match to care to post.....

[Sarlic]

Sometimes i laugh. Sometimes i cry.

Neitherless you cant expect to have a great team all the time. Been in plenty of situations before that i could not pull any good damage because i had no chance or the team was already picked apart.

Good stuff for people blurring it out. As everyone should. Not that it matters, but i think it's more of a polite gesture.

Cool. So if you are not used to playing with little children why do so many "serious gamers" insist on acting like them? I always play to win. I have enough maturity, perspective and self respect/esteem to not act like a spoiled child when I don't.

I laugh because the way most "serious gamers" act, would get their butts kicked were they playing any IRL sports or games, or any other face to face interaction. Instead of sitting on their duffs being all serious on a video game.

Or to put it simply, folks need to get some perspective. Yeah, losing ain't fun. Raging over it is less so.

I have actually found it surprisingly common for me to do over 600 damage in my Raven, while the rest of the team struggles to reach 200. Might consider grabbing a screenshot next time it happens (and it will eventually).

Another thing that's fun is when the team is all balled up cowering behind a rock, and I have to lead the push in a Raven. "Follow the assault Raven!" Sometimes I even survive it.

Hey, telling people who sucked that they sucked is not raging. It might be venting but it's not a rage.

Explaining to your team that they need to be more aggressive, is not raging. Explaining to the team at the outset, "Hey I recognize these guys, they are going to be aggressive and charge through water, THEY ALWAYS charge through water, setup a firing line at C4 because there's a choke point at the end of the boat we can kill them at..." Only to have the team argue that "Going water sucks, I always lose", then die, even though the enemy did EXACTLY as you told them they would, and you state, "I told you so" isn't raging either.

If you did badly, you need to know it. So many of these people seem to be able to explain away why they so consistently lose...

I prefer the Zoidberg method of constructive criticism when it comes to online gaming, "You did bad and you should feel bad."

The holding hands "coom by yah" approach never seems to get any traction.

kumbaya, just for the record.

Also for the record.............. neither does shouting and screaming. It just flips the recipient to defensive, and makes them even less likely to listen and learn. The People willing to learn, will. Those who aren't, won't no matter how much compassion or invective is thrown their way.

I think we have all had those matches where our team was abysmal and I have played abysmal in many a match myself.

Judging by the screenshot, probably not.
