If i may add...
The Parasite (statfapper): He wants kills. He wants damage. He will survive. Mainly you can see this guy in a long range mech far outside the frontline or in a strong alpha/dps mech hiding behind your back. If he miraculously dies he insta leaves to hop into the next mech. Possibly - in a duplicate mech.
The Dedicated: The guy plays one mech, one loadout. And not the best one. He may occasionally have some drops with other stuff but he always returns to his roots.
The Delusionist: That one guy that commonly uses chat and VOIP during the battle and after it, thanks everybody for a good game/tactics/listening to his commands or griefs about the striking loss and analyses the causes. While he contributed literally nothing to the team himself.
The private Derp: He can aim, spread damage, even position himself. And thats even more bewildering when you see what he actually does on the battlefield and what loadout he has. When you spectate this guy you truly realize that the nature of humankind is very far from being discovered.
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 ofpotato 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...
The Single Player: There are no teammates, only red squares to shoot at and red flags to capture. His actions doesnt depend on team movement. He doesnt respond to VOIP or chat. He is alone. He is the single player.

I like to pilot 100 ton mechs and then contribute absolutely nothing to the team.
Seriously, I've had match after match where the entire Assault lance doesn't even break 100 damage. And they're usually all in King Crab, Atlas, or Kodiak, with the occasional LRM stalker who gets killed by a light and becomes the "Competitive LRM specialist" and "Salty @$$ pug lord" at the same time.

It's a bit different. There are indeed KDR savers, or broadly speeking - рussiеs. On the other hand, you have people that want all the damage and kills. If the battle positively turns in your team's favour, these guys will go as far as to leg you to rack up damage and "secure" some kills.

Im sort of a Gray Knight myself but as a player I am unsure. Your window into my "world view" of this game is my part serious part joke list of what I think about this games various subcultures of different players..

No need to put a trigger warning. You'll grow up and realize that trigger warnings are just as real as the easter bunny and tooth fairy. It's all make believe and in your head.
I believe trigger warnings were invented to give people with PTSD a chance to leave or brace themselves for triggering their symptoms. The way it is being used now is depressing.
Just had a match with a "Potato Drop Commander" he was running 3 LRM 20s and a STD engine on a KDK SB. When I told him that I think his build needs some work he went rabid on me immediately and told us how he wasn't going to bother commanding the drop.
SPIRIT BEAR
This was his build, I got to spectate it after I died. I tried to tell him to put 4 LRM 15s on and an XL engine, take off the MG and make either both lasers ERLL or both lasers LPL but he wasn't having any of it. You just can't reason with stupid.

Its a living document. Whenever I think of something I am going to update it. It may need to be stickied at some point and listed on the community page. Baby steps is the key
