Anyone have some particularly evil things you do in matches that would probably make a pilot bash their head on their keyboard?

I use to do a "leg em and leave em" strat. Where I would find an assault or heavy trailing behind the main body, take their leg, and just let them struggle from there on.

My all new favorite thing to do now, and I call this "giving them the Dirty Special," is to take my Piranha and strip weapons off of torso's, bonus points if they're carrying all their weapons in their torsos, and then just leave them. I won't kill them, but I find it hilarious seeing a mech with no weapons just kind of wander around doing nothing for the rest of the game except to look good.

Guys, think I found the main reason so many ppl out there calling for piranha nerf!

[MTier Slayed Up]

Piranhas are perfectly fine.

Ithink the most cruel thing I did to another pilot was slowly ripping him apart with my 101 alpha Dire Wolf, until he was a Ct only with one leg and then fire one erml at his least damage leg, and when it open I take my time on the Ct at the end, I drop a airstrike on the guy and watch him trying walk out in vain.

To note I was very pissed during a huge losing streak.

I play a LRM boat Assault.. that alone usually pisses people off enough.

But I take it up a notch - I play a LRM assault to deadly effect. And when you get rained on all match, it makes people go "kill that fu#$%ng LRM boat!"

And then they rush me.. thinking to score an easy kill..

And then I overheat.. and deny them the kill.

And then you see a light get frustrated.. or even sweeter, see a slow heavy or assault begrudgingly stomp it's long hard way back to the front line..

Hihihihi..

Two things:

Watch the enemy from outside sensor range and openly taunt them on comms so they know I can see what they're doing when I'm the last 'mech standing.

When they start to gank me, run out of bounds to deny them the kill.

Walking up to a laser boat in my PIR-1 with 12 MGs and a single flamer People already hate being torn apart by a dozen MGs, but throwing that flamer into the mix just adds a little bit of sweet insult to injury...

Leg a light and drop smoke on them.

How did we lose?

[El Bandito]

Evil things to do? I once followed a pure LRM boat enemy with my ECM light mech, for several minutes. Poor guy couldn't fire and didn't know why, ahaha!

Step one - During any event involving lights bring out a streak mech.
Step two - taunt the reds when I kill off a light
step three - laugh and laugh and laugh when they complain about streaks
Step four - Profit

bonus step - go into faction play and realize how using streaks has negatively impacted both my aim and torso twisting reflexes. :-(

Play an Archer with 2 LRM10s, 6 ML, and a MRM30. You rain your LRMs in chain fire on a target so they end up pushing you as they think you're just a LRM boat. Then you punish them by punching their face in with your MLs and MRM.

Reminds me of good old Point Blank AMS:



Personally i felt dirty when i once walked behind a laser-vomit MAD-IIC in my Flamer Nova (RIP) and grilled him with 6 Flamers right when he fired his second alpha. Poor guy was on override and exploded before able to manually shutdown.

Worst thing I've done intentionally in game was during a skirmish match on grim. It was a hard match with it coming down to me in a very shot open yellow and red locust vs an assault. doing the normal light things to survive it wasn't until someone pointed out in team chat that the assault was out of ammo for its remaining gun and had lost its laser weapons. With seven minutes left in the match I took as long as possible to use one small laser to strip off what armor was left and blow off as many limbs before finally blowing the ct.

It was funny reading all the just finish him in team and all chat.

I know an EXTREMELY skilled aussie player that did that with 6 ERML. He would top leaderboard in KD every single season when he played. He got banned 2-3 times as a result of that tactics (and finally quit).

I wonder why the same rule doesn't apply to you?

Worst thing I've seen done was legging a new player's Atlas in Faction Play skirmish on Polar Highlands.

New player was being very aggressive. He had basically suicided 2 mechs into the enemy already, and ignored our calls to hold back. It was like 4-5 minutes until the end of the game, we were up by like 1 kill, and he started lumbering his under-engined atlas towards the enemy. So our team legged him to keep him from suiciding into the enemy so we could win by forcing the enemy into our firing line. We won the game, but it did feel dirty.

Been a long time, but ran into him yesterday why playing my PIR. Found him with a LCT from my team. Right where you would expect him, but this time he had a Jager backup. We both focused the Jager until I saw someone had kicked off a strike where the three of us were. So I pushed up to his position and started working on him. Both of them went down. Both of us were lumped up, but still going.

Funny thing was, he had two PIRs on his team that could have helped him.....



Yeah...no.

I guess this can be seen as evil...Or not?
Well anyway, was in a QP match in my DWF Laser vomit assault, I saw a Piranha doing the "shooting the assault while circling routine" on a Lance mate in radar and was able to round the building to get where they were. I have my lasers set on chain fire and promptly too them off chair fire and gave the piranha a full alpha which partly missed but leg the left one and unfortunately my lance mate's leg as well. (Oops!) The other assault was able to dispatch the Piranha with his Gauss rife.

He thanked me for the assistance, but said try shooting better next time.

He was alive, but I guess ya cant win them all.
