I LOL'd. But the OP does have a valid point. Scaredy players do tend to lose matches.
(Note: I'm not advocating stupid Leroying. But when I pug, I see far too many Mechs that hide in one place, don't manoeuver and don't shoot back. Trying to carry them does get frustrating after a while.)

Yes, scared players lose games, but yelling at them after it is too late for a plan to do any good accomplishes nothing.
More leadership, less "wise dead guy" would help this game greatly.

I see some one else got drafted into team nose picker this afternoon. Trust me, I know EXACTLY what you are ranting about. It was bad today. BAD. Like "I wonder if they can read or speak English even" bad.
Buck up, it's about time for Puggy shift change so a new batch of squirrels and cats are punched in and ready for herding. Get back in there Mechwarrior!

hard to type when Im actively engaged, unlike the "hiders" but most of the time is simply "push!!" or "stop hiding!!".
The issue is that a lot of players have the wrong reaction to dropping 1-3 mechs. This is not the game to hunker down and hide, you need to start laying metal and energy down range, hit over-drive and engage.

It certainly isnt given to everyone to figure out that in a fps it's best to kill your enemy.

So does trying to move and melting to the first mech that sees you. Peek around a corner or something, try to move and fight and its just wham, bam, thank you ma'am, critical damage...back to the garage.

It can be frustrating when you come out of CW where folks move as a team, focus objectives and targets, and have each other's back. But again, when in PUGs... expect the worst.

You're probably part of the problem with this "hiding tactic"...

So what you are saying is that you put yourself into a bad position and are now stuck playing defensively and passively....That doesnt work in MWO, never has and never will.

Now that mechs can put 40+ damage down 600m you have a totally new playing field. 4 UAC5 crabs double taping 6 UAC5 DWFs double tapping 4 UAC10 KDKs double tapping and Dual Gauss ruin days faster than ever. It is no wonder that people don't want to peek because Half their armor is gone in the burn of 2 cERLL or 2cLPL. The sniper game is strong, and the LRM rain is still a threat. There are guys in Tier 1 that are LRM badassses and prove they can be used effectively in every tier.
It used to be that assaults didn't carry Dual Gauss, you had Gauss Cats, JM6s and CTFs but with them you had a weak side torso that spelled death and a really slow engine. Now assaults can bring the pain from afar with the MAL, DWF, KDK, KGC on STD engines or cXL. They are still slow but they can wreck a peek in a in second.
I lead pushes, I bring an Assault most of the time and when I do you can expect me to die gloriously. My K/D is ****, its .7 and my archived K/D was .4...I'm not tier 1 or 2 but I lead charges that lose or win matches. I'd rather lead a charge and lose than stand around and win. It probably has something to do with ADhD and my lack of patience but I spend a lot of matches on the VOIP saying "Follow me in" or "Push push push"
If I was more careful I'd be tier 2 or maybe even 1. If I brought meta builds more often or could aim for **** I would be rocking a better K/D.
People in my tier, in my experience, with my ******** unscientific anecdotal evidence aren't afraid. Lights still run through the entire enemy team and often die. Heavies and Assaults still go out in the open and get killed by LRMs. People haven't really changed in these last few years to me.

And it takes a while to know the steering.
However, a as a good player you should be able to react and play supporting the style of the less skilled ones instead of demanding from them to adopt to your style. This would increase the chance to win dramatically.
At least in comparison to yelling from the grave.
