With LRMs and no lasers....

[Lykaon]

1: The Annihilator from charlie lance is the last to get moving and at least 20-30 seconds to late.

2: Skirmish: team scatters like a perfect billiard break
2a: Conquest: mechs with top speeds under 70 wasting time capping when a light mech has already been there for several seconds
2b: Domination: when my heavy mech on my way to the domination circle passes a teammate in a Locust and the enemy has already reached 50% + on the timer and I'm not even half way there...
2c: The game mode is escort...

3: my team composition is composed of no less than one third of trash tier chassis like the raven 4x any vindicator etc and the guy in the Kingcrab asks us to "hold locks plz!"

when your teammates joke about nascaring/spreading out/etc. it’s pretty much a guarantee that they’re going to do just that.

[Spare Parts Bin]

On Polar Highlands, Grim Plexus, or Tourmaline Desert, after explaining as a team we can not win by trying to take all the caps. If we take the closest two or three caps and hold them we could win. The team scatters to the wind. You know the rest.

I mean, Nascaring actually makes sense sometimes. It's when both teams start doing it, instead of one doing a brilliant flank, that it becomes an issue where assaults get cut down.

What weirds me out, however, is that it always seems like my team's assaults are the ones to get left behind and chewed up, and never the enemy team's assaults. It's weird.

[Exilyth]

When there's a lack of mobility and tactical positioning, e.g. when people derp along behind an assault or follow the fastest light instead of moving into good positions. Or when people move into positions and then just stand there behind some hard cover or a ridge instead of at least poking a little to know where the enemy is.

When your a light/fast medium giving your team all the information (uav, target locks, scouting info) and they fail to exploit that info.

[Snazzy Dragon]

2 huggins in alpha lance and 3 highlander iics saying locks pls in all chat

[InvictusLee]

When snazzydragon isnt in the match, breakdancing in the middle of the field.
Theres my first sign.
The second is when people start asking if we have LRM boats on the team because they have 12 narcs.

[kesmai]

The shadow hawk dropped next to you runs an obvious lrm 20.
You have 3 kfx with 3 ams in your lance.
The only two assaults in your lance are pretty babies.
You drop with me in your lance...

[roekenny]

When i see a charlie lance full of potatoes

When I'm in a short range brawler and lrm lands in the map vote as you just ****ing know where your heading

When I say I will get the cap point close to charlie lance on capture and see the fatlass still keep heading in that direction (more so if you call them by name and still keep going.)

Skirmish on Tourmaline and I spawn at the top of death valley. (Just know team will stay in mountains let the red assaults stroll up the death valley unmolested and Left flank and rear is about to get hit hard in the next 3 minutes )

See team go into the basement squirreling after a light on HPG

Grim plex on incursion you see reds on H line and your team decide to be on other side of mountain with no vision and are waiting to be flanked. (Or half team on one side of mountain while rest waiting to shoot at hillsides and buildings on the other.)

A sudden spike in % to polar or alpine domination. That's when I'm wary AF

it’s rarely a tactical decision though, people just do it reflexively.

[JohnnyWayne]

1. People chit-chatting. Dumbest ***** are always the most talkative ones.

2. Team spreading out all over the map.

3. Team afraid of colour "red".

[Zh0u]

When the team split up at the start.

[Marius Evander]

When I am leveling a crappy mech coz im sick of playing my good mechs and I know there will be a skilled similar MMR pilot on other team not leveling a crappy mech. (seriously when im leveling bad mechs loss rate 75%, playing my good mechs win rate 70%)

When im not in the mood to call / command / organise the spuds / the kids are asleep so I have to be quiet, and 99% of games no one else with a clue calls. (when i dropcall i am sure we win more, something in my voice inspires people to work as a team)

When some douchebag says some roleplaying autistic quote like
"Peace of Blake be with you"
or
"Let slip the POETAETOES of WAR! Launch the builds and events of INSANITY ! 07 ! PEACE OF TATERS BE WITH YOU ! "

Oh wait that second ones me.

For me right now it's hitting the "Quick Play" button...I figured that this time of day there'd be no harm in running a trial Dire just for the free spacebucks and cockpit item from the event. Haha, what a masochist I am. Even apologizing at the beginning of the match for running a trial, I'm still getting salt, despite the fact that I'm one of several trial mechs I've seen out since the event started, and half of each team has been made up of Kitfoxes and Urbies piloted by non-light drivers who can't play them.

Seriously though, it's usually when I see the troll map/mode combos get picked, when you just know for a fact some guy saved up his multiplier just to dump it all on Caustic to watch the tears. Also Rubellite, since I think I've seen only one victory there so far, and it was a freak win where we got carried by the best Kitfox driver I've ever seen. Nearly every other match there is a guaranteed loss for me, I always get the team that charges somewhere low fast, then spins around getting shot from all sides til dead.
