Pedants who need to score points on a niche forum for a game few people play.

People who can't stop kvetching endlessly about having to play Conquest in a Conquest match and proudly proclaim they will "not engage in the game and just do damage", then laugh and proclaim "we wouldn't have lost if y'all didn't pick Conquest" after their demoralizing nagging dispirited the team and caused a collapse.

I'm sick of the incessant whining

People who vote skirmish over assault. I just cannot process that mentality. Then they whine when chasing the stealth light....

i fail to understand why someone wouldn't want to go kill the bugger. if the game ends and they are still alive, they win, dont let the squirrel win.

What's faster/easier: standing in a box for maybe thirty seconds at the end of a match, or spending 8+ minutes chasing some stealth armor goober who is actively griefing in order to troll their own team?

People that think their K/D ratio directly determines their worth in life.

nobody wants to win a game by standing in a box.

Nobody wants to spend eight or more minutes chasing some gonk jackass who's punishing their own team for "failing them" by running around like a nitwit actively avoiding confrontation with the enemy either and yet that happens in Skirmish with frightening regularity, while the infamous and oh-so-feared 'Base Trade' in Assault is a blue-moon occurrence. I swear, every third match of Skirmish turns into a game of Dead by Daylight except it's one survivor versus however many murderers, while the win-by-cap-before-a-fight in Assault has happened to me maybe - maybe - twice in the last few months.

Fixed for you. I'd rather just win.

people really need to learn some basic hunting strategy. you dont crawl on its heels at a third of its top speed and do that for 8 minutes. no you get into his head. "if i was a light mech were would i go?" then you do a little mental math and figure out an intercept point that you can get to in time. the tail chasers provide the necessary pressure (i kind of think of them like hounds, they flush out the prey into a kill zone). if punishment never comes, they do it again and again and again ad nauseam. you are effectively giving this behavior a pass by not dealing with it.

if you kill the squirrel, you win. are you afraid of a squirrel? and its more than just me, many a player dont want to stand in no box.

Then take control of the team? Most people in quick play aren't chicken shits just super ******* confused for the whole game.

[Equuleus]

Yeah, because you have all decided that the game is over because there is only that little squirrel left and you hate little squirrels because they are so annoying and should not be allowed any strategy and they should just come and offer themselves up to your weapons as sacrificial squirrel meat.

Yet they are still supposed to being playing towards some tier level goal and their own personal score matters to them just as your score matters to you and you don't like a squirrels play style because you might have to push more buttons to go get a shot at it when it runs away?

Yet that is the squirrels strategy? That is what they do?

So maybe you all sound like Elmer Fudd and Wile E Coyote and everything is a wascal and a bad acme reject idea?

So,

I am sick of

"looney tune arguments."

generally i need them to do what they would do anyway. any mass more than 2 players can anchor the rest to one bad position and its natural for that blob to go to the target. depending on the condition of my mech i can usually take a light in single combat, especially the kind that tend to run away at the end of the match. the more aggressive ones only run away for position and frequently move back into attack position, and usually end up with multiple kills for their efforts (those are the games i stick around for). when conventional tactics fail, use guerilla tactics. but a player that runs never returns to an attack position, and will throw away an advantage like an open ct or a legged mech. you can tell the difference.

if im not in a position to engage i usually do a text call out, which is better than nothing. ultimately its less about coordination, and more about one or two players exiting herd mentality to come up with an unpredictable move.

id rather discuss tactics than complain about it and then do nothing about it. sure i agree that squirrel is in every right to find a way to improve the match outcome for themselves and their team. sometimes im the squirrel. but hell if im going to sit with my thumb up my butt until the clock times out. im not going to call out for the destruction of an entire game mode over it either.
