When i tell a assult player
"get your *** up there and take damage like your designed to do"

Assaults aren't meant to sponge for the sake of sponging because people are stupid, that said, they aren't meant to hide behind every other player either.

I think this should be added since it usually pop up on this forum:

Stats-shamers / Stats-****** / Stats-stalkers

Losing your argument on the forum? Want to boost your ego on debates? You can see your opponents stats and suddenly their opinions is invalid because you have better stats! Also they somewhat do subtle humble brag and really proud of their virtual peen.

To be fair, a lot of the stupidest suggestions/rants/"Inner Sphere faction is overpowered!!!" (lol) threads have been from people potatoes that cannot maintain 200 average match score across multiple seasons

I aint nothing special but form my experience their ingame ability tends to jive with how based they project themselves in the forums.

Terrible players have a noted tendency to make terrible claims about balance.

My favorite was that thread about how the kodiak 3 was underpowered and didn't deserve the agility nerfs it received.

Its going to be hard to out-power creep the KDK-3 at its strongest but PGI probably will eventually.

I am no anti PGI person but I am a realist. Power Creep Power Sells and this game needs money to keep updating.

I particularly liked hearing that the KDK-3 was the only decent clan mech in the entire game.

[PlayerUnknown]

Lone Wolf???

They never join units, some of the best players in the game, they do not care about competitions or prize money. They crave a good fight fueled by anger. Will attack you like a wild animal blue or red. People know they are good and always under estimated.

and what about Leader board Kings?

[Lore More]

Ah yes the leaderboards king, good job playing a lot even though you have terrible stats. What about the guy that see a video of a popular content creator and is running around trying to headshot people...cough beef cough...

Or how Omni-mechs like the Night Gyr, Timber Wolf, Ebon Jaguar, Stormcrow, and such are so bad there was no reason to ever use them.

The threads about how the Night Gyr would be DOA before it launched while anyone with a brain knew it would be a pocket Kodiak-3 at the minimum (except with JJs)

I came for the trigger warning. Sadly the only thing that triggers me any more is Flat Earthers....

Not even a mention to the guy that needs to test fire his weapons into a teammate for every map in a new mech?

Kin3ticX, on 30 March 2017 - 02:55 PM, said:

PGI fixed that by having you spawn looking out of bounds

Not quite. It seems every match, there is at least 1 player who has to deliberately troll their weapons around the teams backsides on purpose during the 1st 30 seconds of the match! Lets call them Weapons-Free-Morons.

Hm, I would guess I'm average Joe, but on a good night/with my better builds I can maybe dream of Div-C occasionally...

Sadly I think I have quite a bit of:
The Inner Tragedy: This guy likes to have fun in this game. But he also likes to perform and contribute. New day, he plays some fun custom loadouts with high hopes... Then a streak of potato teams losses strikes. He loses his temper, plays some c-gauss+ppc or IS lpl mechs to get a couple of "good matches" and logs out with "*** this game" frustration. But then new day comes...
(though I don't have gauss/ppc, cause I can't ppc to save my life...)

And to be fair, I refuse to build variants of the same chassis as close as possible to the same good build, so I run a LOT of subpar builds, explains why my 'current' average match score is only around 170 with a .63 W/L, but then most of those were bad urby builds (overall positive W/L 636/554, so bout 1.15, I'm not quite a potato, YAY!)

I will sadly say I end up with a lot of Potato teams tho, unskilled Urby with 4MG 2MPL, I suck with it, rarely breaking 100 damage, half my games with it the other day I was still middle of my team for damage/score... sigh

The Player That Pretty Much Drives Just 1 Chassis: A different breed of roleplayer. I know of at least 2 players and they are excellent players but I am certain there are dozens more. IRL you would only ever have one 'mech though right guys?

for a minute, I thought you might have forgotten me ... but seriously, I don't just drive a raven ... I've got a different raven for each occasion, and each one needs to be played at least slightly differently .... this isn't helping to differentiate myself from the class of player ... is it ... I mean, I have other mechs, even some assaults, but yeah ... they mostly collect dust ...

I think I'm a mix of Average Joe, Ultra Tryhard Metabuild Humping COD !@ #$ Lore Player, and The Div C Player.

I may be Tier 2 and a member of a good team, but I don't consider myself to be the best, but I work hard to perform at my best. I don't take stock mechs because alot of them aren't great, and I play as a member of a unit, as a team. I don't think I'm too well-known outside of certain circles.

See you on the field!

You use the "strip-all" feature?

This is most evil

Good job taking battletech and turning it into a generic CoD shooter
