This game has many sub cultures and I think at this point you have to look at potato or pug as terms of endearment rather than hate

people just trying to deal with playing a videogame in a game full of people with wildly different abilities all mishmashed into the same games.

I sexually Identify as MechWarrior. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of stomping across the wastelands slinging burning hot payloads on disgusting Clanners. People say to me that a person being a MechWarrior is impossible but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install Enhanced Imaging and a Neural Helmet Interface on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me MechWarrior and respect my right to alphastrike needlessly and secure kills. If you can’t accept me you’re a Mechaphobe and need to check your privilege level against mine. Thank you for being so understanding.

The Social Justice MechWarrior: That player which is easily insulted or just on a hair trigger to report everything in-game or on the forums. If you really really trigger them you get the mega ultra 5 report alpha strike. A simple "gg" at the end of a 12-0 stomp usually does the trick with this type. If you touch their safespaces expect to hear screeches which sound something like REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

its because, none of the good players out there ( YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE)
are not helping out the new players by showing them and hoping they already know what to do or how to build

DUDES, not everyone knows how to play correctly, but they are doing the best they can because they do not know......

i know there are websites this and that , but that has been around since for ever and some players dont even know about it.

so lets stop punishing people for not knowing.

instead lets start talking to them and giving out tips before or after the game before you die.

idk figure it out.

myself: i get mad at my team, I yell at my team, when they start talking smack. other then that. its all peaces and cream.

Also show people firing position, brawling is great, but look at emp. they take 12 firing points and kill brawls l

Some people still dont know how to play, after months/years of trying.

The really bad potatoes are easily explained because some players let their cats pilot while afk. There is no other explanation for some of the really bad piloting.

It would also give weight to those who die with twice as much damage as the next highest person.


There is nothing like going down with 5 solokills, 1k+ dmg in the first 4-5 minutes of the game, team still manages to throw the match...

You are telling them not to chase a light that is stripped to one spl with 5 mechs, begging them to focus on the heavies that are backcoring them...

And the answer you are getting is SAYS THE DEAD GUY LUL

then there must be a way. to show those people a better way.

also some players might have medical conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. so they can only use LRMS, or make an effort with anything else, but they should let us know who they are so we can protect them at all cost. and not expect them to be a dead shot with er ppcs, since they just want to play the game and be a part of something cool.

just saying.

I refuse to be called a potato.

I feel I'm more like an onion. Or possibly a cabbage.

I dunno. Does heaping manure on potatoes help them grow...?

Sure. But if you don't take the time to cultivate them, and clean them off, all that happens is they rot in the field. Maybe if your manure spreaders spent a little time on the other aspects of potato farming, that analogy might have some meaning.
