Making a conscious decision to sit in the back to farm damage is not teamwork. Its sandbagging your team for a higher match score. The less your team mates are willing to rotate in and share armor the harder it is to win.

I don't know how you don't understand this.



No, I don't. But it is certainly one of the most important aspects of teamwork in this game.

But providing overwatch and distracting enemy mechs in a coordinated way is not really the same as farming damage.

And sometimes you won't be taking much actual damage from the enemies you are tying up.

hell i tied up a dire wolf on Frozen city recently with a "oops forgot to save" build that had no ammo for its UAC20 on frozen city a few games ago. he had a ton of AC2's and i kept him focused on me with only 2 HMLs on a shadowcat. we won that game with a close fight. by the time the dire got into the fight he had no back armor and was OJ CT. my damage was only about 200 because i had to bug out after the dire decided i was more of a threat and died in the brawl that later happened but i tied up a much heavier mech from doing a lot of damage.
