I don't wan't to sound harsh, and usually i wouldn't do this, but looking at your stats they give the impression you are having massive difficulty to keep up with anything in this game. Whatever you are doing ingame makes it significantly more likely for your team to lose than it is to win.
So maybe, you shouldn't accuse others of running around like toddlers and "move on", but play to the strength of your teams composition without someone having to particularly instruct you on it.
You don't smash your head against a wall for no reason because no one is constantly walking behind you and reminds you of the fact that smashing your head against a wall is stupid, do you?
Will communication increase chances to win? Absolutely. Herding the terribads does increase w/l. Should it be necessary to the extent it is in MWO for the match not to turn into a total sh*t show? Absolutely not. But MWOs community, on average, lacks the understanding of very basic principles of playing PVP shooters and ignores such principles if not constantly being reminded of them.
I'm actually surprised it took you this long. Aren't you precious...
Ah yes, stat shaming. How original. I never said I was a good player. Never said I was a mediocre player. None of that has anything to do with what we were talking about. But, if it makes you feel better... let me help you...
I recently went from Tier 8 to Tier 7. I'm pretty proud. My whole family is proud. They all stood around and watched on that fateful match when I scored a whole 25 on my match score. That pushed me over the edge, and everyone cheered. Sorry for bragging about it, but still coming off of the high.
Feel better?
Maybe this will help too...
I'm actually well north of 50 years old, wear glasses made from the discarded lenses from the Hubble space telescope, am partially color blind (in the colors of the HUD colors used in MWO, ironically enough-think playing with NO HUD), I play on a pc that is well below the min spec to be able to play MWO, my frame rate in game is never above the 'teens, and when getting hit, it drops to single digits every time.
Not looking for your sympathy. Don't need it. Don't want it.
I have a life, family, adult kid in college, full time job, plus weekends tending my farm chores.
This *game* has so very little importance in my life, I could care less.
I don't play very often, sporadically at best. Sometimes I go months in a row without a single drop. When I do drop, it's ALWAYS PUGS. The things we're speaking about? I can speak about because I'm used to playing pugs in quick play. You want to know why "x" demographic in pugs does *this* or *that*? I'm telling you why. Because that's the pool that I play in all the time. You want to know why pugs nascar? It's not because we don't have your natural innate ability to be a genius in all things gaming. Get over yourself. It's because NO ONE CALLS THE DROPS.
It doesn't take "stats" to figure that one out. I hate to be CAPTAIN OBVIOUS, but man, you really can't see the forest for the trees.
