Just play during NA Prime time, if you want English speaking people who are likely to push with ya. It is just how it is.

Bull$h1t.
Living between NA and EU, I play NA and EU primetime.... it's all the same behaviour.

Stop this lie "NA has balls",.... 'cause.... it's a lie.

My experience differs from yours, so I will call your statement, a lie.

it was really bad like a week ago, nobody wanted to do anything but camp and lerm on campy lermy maps. if you are a brawler you are sol. so i did all i could do, i only voted for close quarters maps until my vote got high enough to get it and finally had a decent game for the evening.

Yea, I can understand you. Different experience brings to different conclusion.

So, in the end NA=EU.

I'm a brawler, so I like hard pushes. Prolly my vision is "conditioned" because I know and play with a lot of EU top players who like to go close and personal.

Meanwhile NA do have top players too.....but since NA has also higher population, I find much more easy to find a lot of stearing wheels there.

hard to type when Im actively engaged, unlike the "hiders" but most of the time is simply "push!!" or "stop hiding!!".

Lol, pushing in pub queue.

I find its more productive to do the little things.

Pug A: "Lock targets folks!"
Me: " No, go get your own target"

Now after the match starts and the lrming begins, stand behind the lrm boats and wait. As soon as you get hit change position from the fire and use the lrm boat as a meat shield. Use their armor while you can, they refuse to share it, and by god it does them no good at the end of the match.

Eventually they figure out they need to do more than send teammates to their death for the sake of the damage total.

the audacity of some people that bring a weapon system to a match that requires( by laziness) someone else to be able to shoot it.

I'm a light/medium pilot. 35-50 tons is my preferred range. It's what I'm good at. Assault mechs have never appealed to me.

But recently I've been seriously considering getting an Atlas. Not because I've had a change of playstyle, but because I'm fed up of seeing the four assaults in my drop stand at the back holding each others d1cks and not getting the push going.

I usually play what's the lowest in the % in the queue, so mostly light, and, before the release of the Kodiak, assault. Quite easy to explain why the big guys don't push. To play a light mech well you must know when to disengage, when it's time for you to get out of a fight or change position if you're doing your thing at long range. To play an assault you must know when to engage, because you're to slow to get out and must commit to the encounter. Your assault teammates don't go forward because they don't know if they will get the backing to do their job. If they push and the rest of the team just get back behind cover they will get destroyed. Either they don't feel the team will back them up or they can't read the rest of the team moves because for a reason or another.

Your week list would have been better if Tuesday and Thursday weren't the same, and Thursday actually began with a TH instead of just a T. Might I suggest 'Thick Thursday'?

#1 reason why I Alt+F4 is because it's the fastest way to close the client after I'm done playing for the night.

I found voip doesn't work if you use it properly. I get more people doing the right thing if you say scrubs go do X and die and watch the rest of us carry you and do Y. If I try to give normal instructions, people do the oposite, so I pay with mocking and reverse psychology, which seems to work better.

As long as they're making effective use of cover, engage the enemy and their LRMs don't mostly hit the side of a rock I don't mind. I've encountered good LRM pilots and they've helped even during a push. Locking targets doesn't just help them though, it helps the entire team and I can see very few, if any legitimate reasons to refuse other than stubbornness.

I usually lock targets... if people tank for me.

I usually try to lock targets out of habit and if it can help my teammates, why not?

Because needlessly exposing just to lock targets is stupid.

I remember one time I watched an Atlas on Polar Highlands charge straight for the enemy team by himself within the first minute of contact with the enemy team, get blown away in seconds, promptly call his entire team (me included) a "bunch of cocksuckers" and then proceed to report his entire team for non-participation even though we were all actively engaged with the enemy, just not... you know... suiciding... We won that match.

I think I was on your team for that one. Dude started complaining as soon as the match started about how was he supposed to brawl on the lurm map. I told him to just be patient and the next thing I notice is his name pop up on the kill feed. Some real winners out there...

A couple weeks back my unit had a 9-man going in the group queue. It must have been a slow night or the numbers were just not in our favor because we kept getting these same three guys over and over again, three bona fide lurm boatin assault mechs all in the same group. Now we do like to play aggressive and we can usually make up for bad teammates, but these guys were just terrible. They hid, they were on the other side of the map, and they pretty much left us to die while their lurms kept hitting rocks and buildings. I'm talking back of the map, 1000 meter lurmin bad.

So we had enough. The next match we headed straight towards our new friends and made sure they were out in front. Where they moved, we were right behind them and of course they set up in one of the worst places on forest colony with long sight lines and almost no cover. We promptly got surrounded and smashed to pieces by one of the better units, but to hear those three rage about how we didn't protect the lurm boats was totally worth it.
