So in this thread I will be sharing the stupid,idiot,brainless and coward/pessy teammates I have came across while playing. I hate them and want pixo to ban them for being so idiotic. You can share yours too if you feel the same way. I will start with the latest one I encountered.

You should really share more details of your story. I see that you were the only one capping, but I want details. It looks like you guys may have been out-leveled, causing the low level players on your team to try hit and run tactics. As for the ban, idiocy is not a reason to ban.

Place this kind of stuff in the rant section, we all feel your pain. We all have also been that guy a time or two i think as well even if just due to lag.

The enemy wasn't outclassed. My team was a bunch of p@ssies. During entire match my whole team together was running from one place to other and than to another just so that they can stay "SAFE" from ANY red(alone or 2 in a group) who might be coming near them to capture the beacon ?
And yeah if mods see this thread as a rant than they can move this to rant Section.
Edit: I was doing my capture beacons daily task. So I was running entire light/medium hanger.

As stated about, to help you out (if that's what you seek), you need to be a little more specific on what happened. Appears that you were the only one that had any clue about beacon capping. Good for you, 14 is amazing!
I don't mind (the many slaughters) if we're overpowered, out-matched, out-skilled, out-leveled, or out-walleted, but what gets me cussing is when I fly in to get the center beacon on Yamantau in Hover (or Canyon) in Beacon Rush, and the rest decide that staying back sniping is a better tactic, and don't spawn in for the 30 seconds that the beacon is blue...
I don't mind timid playing if you're down to your last bot, and I don't mind someone who is patient and skilled enough to run treb Butch (I'm not), as long as there are not 3-4 long-rangers, and nobody cares, decides to ditch, and we lose in 2 minutes.
What I do mind is fellow blues who play it safe when their hanger outclasses mine (I run Leo, sometimes two of them), and forget all about beacons and their role in winning the game :0
Still a fun game...

That sucks. I remembered when my team dropped only zeus and tulumbas bots. I was the only one with short range weapon. They didnt move from their safe spots for the entire match. So frustating. Now i just dont care and i leave the match. 「fluffernutter」 them.

Why is any explanation needed for that picture? I can easily see the whole story. You'd have to be blind to not see what happened.
A bunch of no good beacon ignoring ?fluffy bunny?tards(BIFs) spent the entire match doing diddly squat while two players went for the beacons. I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt to that only other player getting beacons being beaten to the punch a few times by the OP with his faster more capable bots. That leaves at least three ?poo-poo?-for-brains(SFB) BIFs and one possible SFB who went for damage only.
A thousand words my bum. That was only 71.

parasThis is a perfect example of a Rant. In the future, please post threads like this in the Rants section of the Forum. It's what that part of the Forum was created for and helps keep the rest of the forum from being filled with complaining. Because I'm such a swell person, I will relocate your thread to that part of the forum. No need to thank me: you're quite welcome.

Edit: I was doing my capture beacons daily task. So I was running entire light/medium hanger. Here's part of your problem, right there. You were focused on completing daily task and not on winning. As a result, you left your team to fight stronger enemy and you contributed very little to fighting part. And your light/medium hangar meant that while it was great in capturing beacons it was pretty poor at defending them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming it on you. All I'm saying is that if your team is playing badly you need to pick up slack to win, wherever it's necessary. Sometimes it's capping more beacons, sometimes it's backing your team in tough fights. Sometimes it's sacrificing your robots to contain that super buffed player on the other team.

I ran a profile with nothing but light bots into Diamond on Android that had a 60%+ win/loss. It wasn't the size of my bots that made the difference obviously. It was the consistency of my teammates and my own ability to get those beacons when needed. But then I never shirked from a fight with my lights either. I leveled them up to deadly consistency and they bit hard. 15 beacons taken. 14 by one player. Shows a complete lack on the part of the other four players, not on the players at least trying to win the game the #1 way of doing so(see in game instructions). The #2 way is elimination of enemy bots. The other team in the OP's pic showed due diligence in both aspects whereas his own did not.

The #2 way is elimination of enemy bots. The other team in the OP's pic showed due diligence in both aspects whereas his own did not. In lower leagues I kept getting paired with stronger players, so it didn't matter what I was running. The higher I got the MM paired me with weaker teammates, so like it or not I cannot start games with light bots. Moreover, any time I switched to light bot because daily task called for it, I lost winnable game. But, it's true what you say that having highly leveled light bots helps a lot. I had similar situation recently, I even made thread about it too. I captured 7-8 beacons, my team zero. I was first in kills and damage (1 mil), next closest guy had ~150k in damage and no more than 1-2 kills. The problem was the best guy on the other team had 1.2 mil in damage, over ten kills and even more beacon captures than I. So yes, the team was pretty bad but the fact remained that while I started chasing after beacons, I left my team to handle guy with Haechis and Bulgs. Who is going to stop him, guy who does 150k of damage per game? So regardless of what Pixonic's instructions say, I need to pay attention to what is happening and adjust strategy accordingly. And that's the advice I'm giving to other people. If you think differently then we'll have to politely agree to disagree.

It's a pity that your effort was for nothing.
It appears that the only people who dislike TDM and love beacon capping are in this forum. Everyone else out there plays DOM/BR as if it were TDM.

Sometimes it's sacrificing your robots to contain that super buffed player on the other team. I agree. And I know that. I generally do what you have said if I see any "Super buffed" player in reds( Although in this game my hanger would not have done much. We would have lost even if I fight him). But I have done the analysis of reds in starting of the game and there wasn't any "Super buffed" red. And I don't have any problem in losing too. But you can lose honourably by giving a decent fight and doing your best. But when you lose because your teammates are too coward to fight or keep running here and there the entire match or a bunch of fools who don't know how to fight (or worst case all these combined), it frustrates me. And this was the exact Case in that match. Most of my teammates had long range builds. Although I particularly don't like that, I can understand that some people want to be safe and so they prefer long range weapons. But than start firing them as soon as a red comes within the range and fire them from a distance. Why to go under 300m range to fight a thunder guy and than when he do some damage than run away ?? Just know strength and weakness of your weapons and fight accordingly.

And this was the exact Case in that match. I know what you mean, I had games like those too. Bunch of people spawn and think they all going to fire artillery salvos while beacon 50m away remains uncapped. I remember this one time after long string of losses I got so frustrated I spawned and refused to do anything, hoping game ends soon. I was even wondering if I should stop playing this game. Hopefully we'll have better battles ahead of us. Regards

sometimes we forget that we are not playing in TDM , so what, pixonic should ban our account for not capping beacons. It's funny that everyone assume beacon capping job is for kumiho guy only. Even if we see a beacon uncapped, we just ignore it if we have some dedicated beacon runner in our team.

If they're near full health, I'm not gonna waste them ejecting into something faster.

From the pic it looks like the match had just started and you all were trying to kill a red who was capturing 'B', which is appreciable. Yes one of you should have captured that 'A'. But that's ok given that you all were trying to save 'B'. You all had medium range weapons so it's better to kill a red from far away. I am not saying that all should capture beacons. You don't want to cap? That's ok defend the once I have captured. AT LEAST defend the 2 beacons near our base. But nope sir, my teammates wanted to run ?

You can share yours too if you feel the same way. I will start with the latest one I encountered. The name of your second highest ranking "teammate" means "I am the strongest haha 87". Quite the unfortunate twist. Looks like a frustrating game, man. Sorry it happened.

Here's one. How about you players that use dash bots. How about you stop being so selfish and on certain maps leave the side beacon to the slower bots and you (mr dash for no brains) just head straight for that darn middle beacon. Yamantau a case in point. Can' count the amount of games lost because the middle beacon was capped by the reds 1st. 3-2 all the way to the end of the game and blues dying in vein

Just want to clarify for those that obviously having a difficult time remembering:
Beacon Rush means CAP the BEACONS and hold and defend them from hostiles.
Deathmatch is where you swarm them and kill them all.
If you are playing a deathmatch on a beacon rush you are screwing your team.
***I am editing this here but leaving the original - Beacon Rush is meant to have been Domination. I was so mad last night when I typed that that I just got it mixed up.

It works both ways. Just go where your team mates don't. Kumi's job is turning beacons, don't hate them for doing their job.

Deathmatch is where you swarm them and kill them all. If you are playing a deathmatch on a beacon rush you are screwing your team. I'm not sure what league you are in, but in Champs swarming on beacon rush is exactly how the game is played. If you play patient at the start of the match red will get 4 or 5 beacons and then mech you out when you try to get them back. I mostly use an inquistor on short maps and he's almost ALWAYS dead within 60 second because he bee lines straight for the most sought after beacon. He'll either take that beacon or tie up 3 reds so blues can swarm elsewhere. Beacon rush is about capping beacons, constantly. I'll always go the least defended red beacon unless I need to ditch the defend a blue one. If you stop hitting their beacons you leave them 6 bots to go after yours. Domination is about holding beacons, beacon rush is about flipping them.
