The last three or four matches I've played tonight have been against pugs all voting for mining collective, on domination, and use the same split push harassing LL tactics.

Its been on the losing side of a roflstomp every single time with pugs who either dont communicate or whine and ***** about how the team is preforming rather than moving to assist.

What the hell is going on tonight?
Where the hell did these uncooperative and whiny pugs come from?
And why is the otherside always using the same tactic?
Am i fighting against a unit of alts or what?

Don't know about what you've been seeing, but when I played last night (my time), there seemed like an influx of brand new people who didn't know what the hell they were doing. Even worse than me, which hardly seems possible. Don't know whether that would be filtering up to tier 3 or not. There was some serious stomping going on. I've actually noticed it for maybe the last week, that it seems to be worse than usual. Or I could be imagining it, and it's just the mystical MM at work. Who knows.

Maybe the good players are trying a new game? I've gotten pretty board of my 97 mechs in qp since nearly every match since the wolf horn even has played as your thread is named. The game is just so dam boring and predictable I have to run a troll light mech or heavy missile mech build just to get remotely interested in playing a match the past few days. I've been playing a lot of mgsv:ttp and Skyrim with 30 or 40 so mods for new lands,spells,npcs,dragons etc. If only pgi would have had the brains and balls when they did the steam client to let mwo have mod and workshop support this game wouldn't be so dull as ****.

Only few things you can do when you get the sack of spuds:
1. Try and lead them. Use voip or com wheel. I've done it on dom with the timer at 25 and lead them to victory while in an xl lrm 15 cptl build.

2. Run a troll mech. Might as well have some fun right? Standard engine on a sml spider etc.

3. Play some thing else. There are too many games better than mwo to list even doing emulators of past game systems and games is fun. TMNT 4 Turtles in Time is one of my all time favorites.

4. Run with a unit if you're lucky enough to be in one and a few of them are playing.

5. Be 'That Guy' The one that uses narc and tag. Eventually you get Polar LRMs.

Really? Large Lasers on mining collective? That'd be Awesome! That right there's a brawler's dream. Try brawling. Be the ambush predator to their harassment pack.

Yes. I've run into a least a dozen today in another water based game (I won't advertise) !!! Last I looked, of 55 players in my unit, 6 have played this month..... I play only at events with MC or like today, once just for the heck of it....

Yes and more and more are playing "other games" as their priority game. Sorry, a slow pandemic since May 2017.

Hey man. Ill happily get stuck on a large *** map instead of being stuck in the mining collective with tier 1 ninjas on the otherside pretending to be spuds..
