All morning and part of the night, it doesn't seem to matter which way I twist, or which side I peek with. My left shoulder keeps getting drilled in my firestarters, is there some scary mech with its firepower mostly on the left that looks like a firestarter?

Just thought it was a funny coincidence since I'm used to people going for the right shoulder on IS mechs.

Anyone else have strings of usually unrelated events than struck them as funny to share?

Do you find yourself typically doing more counter-clockwise movement when engaging mechs? I'm not talking about the team nascar-ing, but your own personal movement whenever you're actually fighting a mech.

If you're going counter-clockwise and the enemy is aiming for your CT, any slight lag or slowdown on their aim is going to trail on to your left torso.

Often if I'm circling an enemy mech and I end up taking too much damage to any particular side torso, I'll switch and start circling the opposite way, as it's a lot harder for the enemy to shoot the leading torso than the trailing one.

Hmm I think I usually orbit clockwise, though this was happening for awhile no matter if I was standing still, peeking, running around, JJing. Which is why it struck me at humorous, there was no realreason for me to die to the left shoulder six matches in a row other than random chance.
