I had a rather bad game in my Summoner M the other day:


Yet in the 20 battles I've played in that mech this month, I've averaged 3.00 W/L, 7.00 K/D, 706 damage/battle and 442 average match score (Suckoner is OP).

Everyone has bad battles from time to time; it is only when they consistently have bad battles that they are a bad player.

The fact of the matter is, T1 really doesn't mean much, really. It isn't carrying so much as seeing zero cordination or organization and the same terrible strategies repeated ad finem. Though what can you expect? It's a pug match after all.

Most - not some - of my PUG matches are like this.

The typical pattern is to have 3 reasonable players on my team, and 9 who do less than 150 damage.

Of those 9, 6 will do less than 100 damage.

Antares pointed out to me yesterday that I'm mostly playing at times when the total player population is 600 or less. This could be why my playing experience is so uniformly bad compared to others on the mainland US or Europe.

If you don't like the solo queue, get into the group queue.

Every online game has potatoes.

To OP, this is why I play my Commando. I can run off and do my own thing, and at the end of the day, every game is a good game. If a Trollmando 2D doesn't suit your fancy, the a Lolcust 3V will. Two MG, two MPLs, and an engine that I seriously think runs off moonshine and energy drinks.

I am not sure about anyone else in this tier but I am sick and tired of carrying absolute muppets. I've only one won game tonight and I honestly barely did anything in that match. The other games, people just wouldn't listen, split up completely to die one by one.

This screenshot below was tragic, me and a lance split off on crimson over the saddle for what I thought was going to be a two prong attack. Instead they cap and give away our position and die. This print screen shows what my hard work was carrying...

A commando with one flamer and narc.

Also take note, this commando just happened to find the enemy cyclops shutdown with a RED core but couldnt kill it with a single flamer. After ages. the cyclops woke up and realised.

8 of us failed to break 100 damage.

I challenge any of you to beat that.

Enemy team I saw early today was pretty bad:


8 of them failed to break 100 damage like yours, but the highest on their whole team was just 311.

I loled pretty hard at seeing a Griffin 2N with 2x LRM10s.

It doesn't count, unless it happens to your team.



I get a lot of games where half the team fails to break 100 damage.

I don't even bother taking screenshots of it, unless its 8 or more.

The alternate account with lore builds seems like such a cool idea.

As for that match I posted, I think some people are missing my point a little. That wasn't the worst match I've had, I could post a number of nasty rofls. I don't mind losing etc but my main problem is carrying people who just are not interested in playing.

This commando (apologies if I am calling you out here but I need to), he wasn't interested in winning the match (e.g. cap). Wasn't interesting in killing either. None of the players on our team could ACTUALLY figure out why he was playing.

I know it's chance he was the last to survive and we got a chance to see him and what's he's up to but, I really can't understand how he's part of a T1 match.

Again MM needs to asses what people are launching in, with what mech. I can't carry people when I use smaller mechs or mechs I am trying to level. This is why I swapped to Kodiak here, to give people my armour in return for a push (and no one went for it).

9 people on the other team failed to break 100 damage (with 2 more barely breaking 100) They died so fast that our teams damage ended up being really low as well.

Vxheous Kerensky, I think in the second picture, you've been AWOL'ed. That looks really brutal !

I am guessing that was a group drop? I don't even bother with those any more. I can only drop in a 2 man, and that's no enough to co-ordinate anything helpful.

1 zero bomb
3 double D's
Only 2 more under 200
5-12 end score
OP only did 700dmg and 1 kill in a KDK and feels gypped that that "carry" should have been adequate

What am I even looking at?

group queue can be WAY worse -- if you have less than 8 in your group.

I have been having a blast in the lower tiers playing a pure scout raven 3L. Not shooting but spotting and NARCing like a mad-man. I recently bested myself by getting 7 NARC kills in a match. It's not about seal clubbing but about not having to constantly drive a KDK3 and do 1k damage every match.

The reason you can't do that type of thing on a T1 account is, without you pulling your weight, you can expect you team to die in under 5 minutes -- meaning you really don't have a chance to play and have fun. Honestly, I have tried a lore build on my main account and each time our team would get obliterated within, what felt like, seconds of reaching the front line.

How can you carry a team with only 1 assist?

[C E Dwyer]

Other than that one mech you point out, all other people did comparable damage

[Revis Volek]

no one cares

[Dimento Graven]

Dude, I feel your pain:



A very sad battle where most of my team (8 players) couldn't even break 100 damage...

In fast mechs that's exactly what I do too, I love going behind the enemy lines. This guy wasn't. I actually think he was lost at points. We had to guide him a fair bit. He really shouldnt have been in this game.

Carrying isn't just about kills. I dont know how many kmdd's I had but they ran from my brawler config. Except no one took advantage. You ever remember doing upto 1000 damage and sone lucky guy shows up just at the right time to sweep em up. That still means you contributed well, even if someone takes the glory. If no one does, then it's all in vain.

@Dimento, that was upsetting to watch but just think how much worse it would be if you actually watched what they doing, You'd be cursing a lot harder.
