I did 5 dmg to a jenner that just passed in front of me and killed hin, then in another match it was a zeus that passing on my side died to me, i did 6 dmg to hin... and then i get those penalties like 2minutes because my teamates are ********... like wtf is this ********?

Fix that pls

[Jingseng]

fix your aim and your awareness. I find it highly doubtful you did such little damage, but in any event, you killed a teammate. Period. Full stop. It's not the amount you did, it is the consequence of your actions.

[Tarogato]

This happens so incredibly rarely that it is a non-issue. Deal with it, it won't happen again for a long time.

In before someone says "if you're not regularly TKing you're not trying hard enough" or "if you're not regularly shooting through friendlies to secure the kill you're nit trying hard enough."

Pro Tip: If you keep getting penalized for friendly fire/team killing, try unzooming when you are in close quarters with teammates.

It's 2 flipping minutes, go make a hot pocket.

[Weeny Machine]

2 min for 2 TKs is too low actually. I mean, I have killed maybe a handful of teammates over the years.

[jjm1]

Its happened to me a few times. Its dumb. Its easy to change too.

PGI apologists said its fine though. So keep the mediocrity, just because... idk... it teaches you not to shoot near a friendly light that is unpredictable and nearly dead.... ?

[Foxwalker]

Yep, welcome to having a backup alarm only you can hear. (My Prius has this feature). Anyway, I have had a match where I did 1 yes only ONE team damage and it resulted in a TK. Happens.

The penalty is there for those that are careless enough to do this and not realize they did it. Sort of like the Policeman that lets you off with a warning this time. Do it enough times and most likely you will get to keep doing it some more. LOL.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to see your screenshots, identity papers and social security number, to believe you.

Given the habit of front loading armor to the point of some players not running rear armor at all... it doesn't surprise me. Take an already damaged structure front face tanking and no rear armor and voila....dead.

[Koruthaiolos]

Pro tip, if someone is peeking in a narrow space between buildings, don't follow right up behind them. A stupid warhammer did that to me today, edged me out into the open and got me killed. How he was so ******** I'll never know.

[Dee Eight]

Prolly a tier 1 trying to poach your kill.

[RestosIII]

**** happens. Wait out the 2 minutes by watching YouTube videos, or some gifs.

[LordNothing]

i think on my worst day i managed to get 2 team kills and enough team damage for a penalty. 2 were "lets run in front of a firing assault mech" type players, the 3rd was where i fired two alphas into a mech i thought was hostile before i realized it wasnt, caused by a freak dorito alignment and lack of depth sorting.

im normally very careful with regards to team damage. most of which is caused by the inevitable mech humping that results with the drop points being so close to each other. but its usually under 5 damage most of the time. higher numbers usually result from tighter formations and is pretty normal, cost of using certain tactics.

**** happens. deal with it.

intentional team damage is unacceptable. i usually report those players.

i always face palm when i see players use advanced zoom to hit point blank targets, and still miss.

Or do an any% speedrun of SMB3. World 7-1, here I come!

[Chados]

I didn't get shut out for two minutes til I had team kills in back to back matches from people jumping in front of a 47-point alpha strike IN PROGRESS in their zeal to get the kill on the assault mech I happened to be dueling. Seriously, people, when you see a Warhawk and a Scorch going at it, the place not to be is between them. True story.

I dropped out of group so as not to delay my teamies from more play, put on some Café Bustelo, and surfed the net til the clock ticked down and I was out of the penalty box. And my teamies even waited for me! Awww, guys, that was sweet <3

[Revis Volek]

People dont wear a lot of back armor around here...


Moral of the story is watch where you shoot, this isnt CoD.
