But hey if you want to get all self-righteous about it, then more power to you.

Me, being self righteous about? That's rich irony coming from just about any competitive player ever, and their utter derision for any play style or build that doesn't live up to their expectations.

Just how is your patronizing and dickish attitude toward anyone using LRMs (as just ONE example)anything LESS than being self righteous?

"I'm not impressed with anyone using LRMs" is the very definition of self righteous twaddle.

I have no derision for play styles in general, but excuse me for wanting to win the matches I play and getting frustrated when the whole team is completely ignoring the game mode.

Then forgive me for not wanting people try to decide what is and is not acceptable for me or anyone else to do to play a game for fun... that is within the rules. If people doing so offend you so highly, you have the option of Private Lobbies to play with your fellow more highly evolved players without the stench of potatoes polluting your game.

But as long as you are playing in public queues? As long as it is something allowed by CoC..... tough crap.

Oh give me a break. Someone gets 1500 damage in a Phoenix Hawk, "Nice game", someone does 800-2000 damage in a LRM boat "I don't care".

That's my opinion. Sorry you don't like it.

So what, I can't be annoyed with people ignoring the game mode? Are you policing my feelings now?

Tell me more? Please, we poor plebes need our Comp Overlords to let us know what is or is not acceptable, after all..... Perhaps you should have us pay to build a Wall to keep ourselves out of your precious game?

I'm not the one telling people what they can or cannot do. I'm merely pointing out the irony and hypocrisy of your doing so.

Kind of a big difference there.

It's not about what's acceptable, it's just about what I choose to care about. Are you telling me what I should and shouldn't care about now? Please Bishop tell me how to feel, how to think, what to say. I need you to guide me to make sure no one get's their feelings hurt.

I've been wondering when someone would finally post that gif. I keep having to see it every day I go gif hunting, so I knew it was low hanging fruit for people that don't normally mess with anime gifs.

Please quote me where I told people what they can or cannot do.

Edit: You can't because I never did that. All I did was express my feelings towards people who ignore the game mode, and then tell someone that I don't really care that he had a great game in an LRM boat. If that offends you so highly, then you should probably quit the internet.

I know you mean that as some sort of weird insult, but I don't have a problem with low hanging fruit.

No... but trying to put words in mouth doesn't help your argument.

People will do what they want to do. However, if they decide to open their mouth in the face of the obvious (blaming others despite not being good themselves), they will get their share of flak, and well deserved.

It's unrealistic to see people willing to be told what to do... but then again on the same vein, you can't expect to win (if that's what you even care about) or expect consistently good results when you're not on the same page with other people.

When the suggestion posed is similar to "don't use LRMs if you want to get good", well... someone's bound to be offended by it (and they'll post how they've had great games) and yet you don't see any real comp players running them (regularly) and it's just in one ear and out the other.

Honestly, sometimes I think your self-aggrandizing on Centurions is just as ridiculous (at this point, I think you're more serious than joking) as trying call others out for taking meta. I'm not really interested in calling you out, but seriously, you're doing a disservice to your own arguments.

How to say...Cool Story?

And not my fault I'm obviously the last good Centurion pilot. Mebbe folks need to learn to gitgud?

Also...in seriousness, there is a pretty large difference between questioning if something is as bad as people claim, and attempting to force a playstyle, build, etc. I'd love to see somewhere where I told people that they were bad if they didn't use a Centurion. Have I questioned the efficacy of some promoted builds? Yes. But ONLY because they have been pushed down people's throats as the ONLY VIABLE OPTIONS... But I guess you have trouble seeing the difference in that.

Circle them NS Wagons, lol. It's all good, I'm used to hearing how you have the only true way from you, anyhow.

I concur, this drudgery, or I should say the air it gives off when one player uses the term is silly. It's almost as if it is used a scapegoat when they perform poorly, only to appear like a condescending ninny.

"Ugh, why is that my team is always made up of potatoes?"
" Oh man, some major potatoes today"
"Looked at the weather, looks like we are in for a lot of potato"
"You say potato, I say PSR"

Just saying, a baby spud dies everytime you use that word.

a baby spud dies every time i make dinner, so i will continue to call people spuds, and by extension keep serving them as sides.

And back to the subject before IBTL...

Or a potatoe is a player who is playing on a potatoe (talk about being a masochist). A few players have posted that once they purchased a new/faster machine, their gameplay, damage and scoring started to improvement.

Still, for a MW game people will take a beating and like it lots, while dreaming what it could be like...

Spuds are supposed to die to make dinner.

That's because spuds are delicious, and something to be desired.... so I guess that means people want more potatoes on their teams, yes? I mean..who can eat just one french fry?

plus, all the flavors and styles potatoes bring....









Are so much tastier and more interesting than the Comp Mandated
