.....so you're not reliant on strangers to save you.

Proper choice of words. It also sounds like OP's team got impatient with assaults who had no intention of pushing up to the front. Aside from the ANH, I doubt any of them were headed to fights or choke points. I don't wait for those types either.. game must go on.

so the question is

they just leave u behind or u just be a potato , hiding forever then get ***** by fast mech?

SoloQ is not a teamplay game and random guys are not teammates - they are random allies. You can not predict their builds, skill, movements. You can not rely on them in critical situations. Most of time you can not even communicate with them(turned off VOIP, turned off chat, not reading minimap, just ignoring). So why should i wait for someone, who probably tailblock me or shoot my st from behind or just worthless crapbuilded trashmech?

When i playing lights and not gonna dive enemy backlines im usually screeneing ally assaults from enemy lights, which usually trying to distract them. Also i always assisting known mechwarriors(not only well know, but known by me, which i can rely) or ask them to assist me(when i playing heavies).

DONT PLAY SOLOQ ASSAULTS IF YOU NOT AN EXPERIENCED MECHWARRIOR!

Play heavies.

p.s. or play what you want and dont tell others what to do/not to do.

Amusing people suggesting no one should use annihilators etc.... *facepalm*

I hate piloting mechs which are that clumsy and love mediums mostly but not being a total xxxxx I cover the assaults early on in any skirmish etc game. Not so much in capture but even there I put myself where I can fade back as needed to cover the assaults from enterprising lights.

Now if you choose to sit back from the team when fighting I'm really going to leave you to your own devices because either you know what you're doing so don't need my help.... or you deserve to die.

That annihilator is great, in specific situations. however for the topic of the op it's a prime candidate for lights to chew up. It's hella slow and unwieldy. On a larger map it's also a huge target.
