The L33ts can pound salt... I play for fun and as such I pilot mechs that are fun for me... I refuse to bend to the meta and I will not be bullied into being a metawhore just to placate their inference that unless I run some cookie cutter meta beast, I'm not trying hard enough.

I really hate this "argument".
At the end of the day, we all play "for fun". It's a game. Having fun is the primary goal.

Honestly, I'm not sure what to call people that use this "argument".
Uneducated?
Selfish?

I tend to go for selfish as their "argument" boils down to "**** you I do what I want and I don't care what you think".

Ultimately, you are free to do what you want but you'll have to realize *this isn't targeted at you more than it is for everyone that thinks like you* that if you bring inefficient stuff to the field, do know you cana receive some flak from people that actually want to win the game.

Those people were probably jerks, but I've been in the group queue plenty of times when I just want a good match with teamwork and I hear people on the VOIP who are clearly drunk, playing MWO one-handed while eating pizza and trying to get their dog to lick peanut butter off their junk. I don't expect everyone on my team to have complete radio discipline and act like we're in the Gulf War, and I don't really care if people run meta builds (just so long they're not all running joke builds), but I would say that I prefer playing in the solo queue if half my teammates are going to discuss old episodes of How I Met Your Mother over VOIP in the middle of a match.

This isn't directed at anyone in particular, but... I can understand the frustration from the opposite point of view, sometimes.

IMO, as long as a person's build is min/max's it is perfectly viable for a match. It's more that people don't know how to play it to maximum benefit. They don't know, refuse to learn, or simply don't care.

Catchphrase of TT game Infinity, "It's not your list, it's YOU"

Meaning, you can min/max your personnel and equipment all you want, but if you don't know how to play it, it doesn't matter.

Best you can do is stfu and drop again. If you choose to not do the best thing possible, you can KINDLY advise them. Just realize that negativity breeds more negativity and you aren't going to enlighten ANYONE in one match. You can point fingers at people all you want, but this is an online game with a ps-poor MM balance system. Get used to inadequacy. Skill level will always vary.

But they get more matches faster because they can speed drop and garner way more cbills. So 'balance'.


I can't because PGI hasn't. Whatever tier the every other match that does 600+ damage and gets 0-3 kills a game players end up in. (And yes that works out to at least high 3 and likely high 2, which means you can see them all the way up to tier 1, so rend those garments gnash those teeth, there will be much disappointment).

In upper Tiers the Players shoot Gauss/Lazors/AC's in ya LRM-Boats Face, till your Rockets only hit Cover.

Group que sounds like a bit of a challenge these days, haven't dropped there for a few months now.
Looks like i'll be needing to find a unit.

I don't think the name and shame rule applies for units.

Group queue has no real matchmaker (considering the one it has is all kinds of broken due to low pop).

If you're not a T1-T2 team, you're gonna have a bad time. You guys (OP) should be aware of that. But, frankly, so should the guys you dropped with.

It's not worth complaining after the fact if you walk into group queue with <12 and aren't prepared to either lose horribly or carry the whole team against T1s.

Well, they eventually shut up when I KILL AND KILL AND KILL AGAIN, AND THEN KILL SOME MORE! <maniacal >

Those same "persons" (can't call them *******....it's politically incorrect) can be found in CW. Then later, they bellyache about the lack of players.

This.

It's funny and sad all at once watching the self-declared "elite" spew venom at everyone who's got something else to do with their life other than "git gud" at MWO, and then rage when the same people they hate won't kindly line up to be clubbed in CW or anywhere else... oh, and all those terri-bads who won't join the unit that just rolled them, too. Right... Enjoy the empty CW queues, tryhards... derp!

[Ace Selin]

Yeah i brought a Locust one game and someone said " we got a Locust on our team i got a bad feeling now"
We went up 4-0 and i had 2 kills and eventually ended up with 350 damage which was ok and we won.
So i still play what i like but know sometimes i may just get dumped for my choices.

said to us last night by our 1337 teammates after we lost to a 12 man



I didnt realize the group queue was for 1337 units only. Yea, I guess we should apologize for ruining your group queue with our non-cheese mechs


So,
I'm sorry! Can you please forgive us for wanting to play with the big boys?

Hey, it's the same guys who don't want solo players in CW. See how well that worked out for them?

NEVER apologise to those hack L33T meta tryhards.
