Calling out this guy but it's not the first time it's happened to me when using hydra fujin. All my bots are 9 and weapons are 11 apart from level 9 anciles on my lances. I hit random, get death match at the power plant so I drop in with my 9/11 fujin/hydra, march in to battle and let my hydras do their job from close to the middle of the map but behind cover. Just focusing 1 at a time based on if they are heading towards me, knocking down lots of HP and while the enemy can't get to me without exposing them selves in the open. All of a sudden a storm/thunder Lance is using his thrusters to push me in to the open, I'm taking hits trying to get to cover but any way I try to walk he counters it and keeps pushing. I eventually walk backwards around 1/2 of the map while he's walking into me and shooting at me until we were the opposite side to where the battle was taking place. Eventually he heads back over to the battle and gets smoked in seconds while I walk back to battle in the opposite direction around the map and start attacking them from the other side and then there was only about a minute left while I'm the last blue remaining due to him making the battle 6 on 3 for a period of time (one guy left battle early i think). My fujin made it to the end and I did the most damage on our team, which is basically the key to death match (avoid getting killed and kill and do as much damage as you can). This has happened multiple times in death match where people are for some reason angry at me for using my hydra fujin and would rather spend the match pushing me in to fire than trying to play the game properly. This guy was running a gekko zenit Leo and a taran hydra fujin, and got mad at me for my hydra fujin, why? Why are people like this? I could understand if it becon mode and I open using a ranged bot and hide like a ?kitty? camper but, in death match?

honestly I do this a lot, HOWEVER only in BR or DOM when someone drops Trebs etc on a small map right out of the gate. Hydra's in TDM are kind of expected and like seeing them on my side. D-bags will be D-bags.

some folks would push their own mother into fire if it suited their purposes... It's rather infuriating to get this behavior. I have gotten it just for running a Dash (I assume that's why, anyway).

Is really annoying. I ranted this week about getting bombed. I love one to one fights and if someone gets me it,s fine, if fair. I had a spate of my smallest robot getting shoved out of the way by the big guns. I got pushed n killed in seconds cos they have no patience n hate you. That’s your own team. But last couple games really enjoyed. (Thith 67392)

I totally do this too when people are trying to camp in beacon games where we're getting slaughtered in the middle. If you're in a hydra fujin sitting way in the back camping in a beacon game where your teammates can't hold three beacons, then you kinda deserve it, IMHO. Get your butt out there, and take some beacons. TDM is definitely a totally different story though, you're right there. -Kinda why I hate TDM, actually.

D-bags will be D-bags. Earlier I dropped in to becon rush with my kumiho, I had a noricum zenit natash on my team as well as everyone else apart from me having ranged bots (fury trebs/zueses etc). I get smoked by 3 bots going for our first becon then all of a sudden the reds have all the becons and are in our spawn with every other blue running and hiding behind obsticals not to get hit. That lasted about a minute or so. I did empty my orkans into the natasha to let him know I'm not happy but I don't throw a game to push someone around which automatically makes you 2 people down when. But anyway.. it always seems to happen to me on death match. I don't open woth the hydra fujin on another other mode though either.

Anyone could look it up with the screenshot, it's pixonic who make the user's info public and him himself who makes his profile public. What's wrong with being responsible for your own actions? People often act like tools when they think they are anonymous.

Those that push and poke and shoot at blues are even worse than campers. You’re not even doing any damage or contributeing anything useful to your team. I hate camping cause it’s no fun but for Pete sake, go about your game son and don’t worry about others battle strategies. Saying that, I have done it myself when I see a bulgi with three cocktrains in my gold I league. ?

So in death match you're going to try and get the guy on your team who has done the most damage and hasn't lost any bots killed? Why would you be giving a free kill to the reds and killing the guy who is the doing the most for the team? I'm not in expert btw, I'm in master 1 now and was recently in Champion with my relativity low level hanger.

On my last TDM game it was the stupid hydra fujin that blocked my dash back to cover, killed my Haechi. It wasn't enough to play as a coward, had to kill your team mate too. guess why he was following me? He was leeching off my ancile to be able to move...

Not the case with me, there was half the map behind me with no obsticals to block anyone trying to pass. I also had my ancile up helping cover other pilots from damage. I have been in the same situation as that a lot though too, often my teammates are either blocking me from retreating or pushing me to get to the enemy when I'm under heavy fire and trying to back up.

Not sure how long you've been around forums, but one thing most if not all forumites value above all is privacy. Sure, on this forum, its easy to figure out who's who especially when we post our hangars and don't edit out our names, or heck when we posted our game ID's for those giveaways. We've had admitted tankers come here and post their opinions, we've had admitted trolls do the same. But no one here has posted their real life info in retaliation. It's just not done. It's a game, and the things we discuss here and the things that are done in the game should remain in the realm of the game. You don't bring in real life to it. Now, if you wanted to stalk the guy on Facebook on your own time, away from the forum, no one will say anything. That would be your choice and your actions, and you would have to accept anything that comes from those actions.

I posted this in the rant section as it was a frustrated rant.. not just to/about that guy but about how often this happens in death match. He just happened to be the latest one and took the brunt of it.

While I wouldn't do what you describe myself, ever... It's 100% excusable against Hydra-Spiral builds. I mean... sure, not nice, but no other justification needed, if someone wants to do what you describe.

Had that happen to me a few times. Some dbags will just bulldoze you to get ancile and or a meat shield. I thank them properly when I can by using a jumpbot to launch them at the enemy.
They usually get the message after that.

Had something similar happen a while ago piloting a Leo with a Treb and Nori's. This little Galahad was just freaking out in my face firing his Mag and Taran for all he was worth. Made me want to pick him up and hold him tight 'til his little fever-brain calmed down. Unfortunately War Robots is not that kind, so instead I learned that the back of a Galahad's shield blocks enemy fire just as well as the front. Poor little Galy. I feel bad for him.

This forum is supposed to be anonymous. What Pix does and what we choose to do with the information is up to us. But posting personal info here is just not done. If that's not his pic and is in fact your pic, then I'll apologize for assuming the worse. As posters here, we should strive to keep real life personal stuff out of this forum.

During a Domination match (no peleton match) a Rajin (in my team) was pressing me and one other team mate to the wall. We name that boycot. Pretty funny, it was difficult to free myself but i managed to get loose. The other dude was destroyed including the Rajin. It sucks but it was funny as hell-)) Such things can happen when some one in your team see 4 of his peleton friends in the red team. Be sharp.

So in death match you're going to try and get the guy on your team who has done the most damage and hasn't lost any bots killed? Why would you be giving a free kill to the reds and killing the guy who is the doing the most for the team? I'm not in expert btw, I'm in master 1 now and was recently in Champion with my relativity low level hanger. If you are in master 1 you should know well enough that max damage is not equal to win ,specially with some weapons like hydras. Currently only weapon which is more hated is shocktrains, however it helps a lot for blue team as they hit multiple targets and sometimes red gets killed due to them ,while he was about to kill me . Although not saying I prefer st over hydras. Even if you are continuously harassing single target , you were last one left in battle field. Why ? Because hydra dont help like orkans , tarans does when teaming up. They are good to harass non ancile bots and kill bots with less hp . Yes even in tdm sometimes you gotta self destruct and take out your other new shiny bot from your hangar to win. Now if you are playing in dom,br a hydra build is almost useless as a smart player will take beacon and would kiss wall waiting for timer to run out while laughing at you. Also I did killed few hydra fujin in tdm when I was using griffins, as I find them utterly useless and annoying weapon ( personal choice) so I do what I want for fun. Those hydra fujins are as bad as trebs builds when it comes to stealing kills during events. Yes I’ll happily annoy them as they annoy me ( on either team). Hopefully we don’t get matched in same team if you play in iOS (as I am currently in master 1 too ,just dropped from champs due to disco show) , else sorry in advance .

Posting personal information about a person falls under the forum rules of "Flaming" and is unacceptable on this forum. In game shots of his pilot information are one thing, but because Pix has forced us to use FB to connect to friends outside of clans, we are left with no other options to connect to friends. This should not be exploited. I have removed the personal picture and the picture identifying him on FB in addition to his RL name. Our actions could have unintended consequences if someone else were to see this and begin bullying this person. There is also the possibility that this forum and those responsible for it could be held liable if anything terrible happened. Unlikely...yes, but this is a strange and unpleasant world sometimes.
I feel your frustration and agree with you that you were treated unfairly in the match. You've rightly posted this in the Rants section which is why it's here. However, please respect the personal lives of others and avoid posting their info.

Thank you Deadeye. As one who has been bullied in an online forum before, I thank you. Now, back to the original topic. Trolling is just another unpleasant facet of the game. I'm sure many players have or have been tempted to troll their own team mates. When I was in Gold, I've been known to push the occasional blue sniper or Noricum Patton off the ledge so that they could stop camping and contribute to the game. I only did that a couple of times when I got super frustrated with the player in question. Was I wrong? Most definitely, but it felt good at the time because I was really frustrated with snipers and artillery bots at the time that wouldn't push for beacons. I'm human, and sometimes I lose my temper at people. These days, if I'm alone in my car while playing, I'll just start swearing up a storm. Thankfully, one of the nice things about reaching Expert is that sniper bots really know what they're doing now and artillery bots are few and far between. Maybe the guy in the OP was just as frustrated with Hydra bots and forgot that in TDM, douche setups are actually quite useful. I run one from time to time, depending on my mood, and while my weapons aren't high enough to make much impact, I can usually be counted on for the psychological impacts of this build. You know you've gotten someone's goat when they purposefully come after you in a game and are willing to wade through ranks of blues to get to you! I've been trolled before too. I had one guy actually race me to the CB and try to prevent me from taking the beacon. It happens. It's a game and people will do what they want to do. All we can do is come here and rant about it and get it off our chests.

If you take a poll of how many people in the forum would push your hydra fujin, you'll be surprised.

I have no problem with people using random setups as long as they're using them properly, like not trying to Thunder a bot from 800 meters away.
I only push bots if they're not moving whatsoever and not responding, like once this Gareth was standing at spawn not moving around 7 minutes into the match, I hooked my Griffin to its back and hopped away, using him as a body shield.
Another time I did push a Fujin, but only because I was also a Fujin, and we were taking turns being the shield when one of ours went down, I'd fire off my Tarans, my shield does down, his goes up, I pushed him up while he fired his Orkans, his shield goes down, I shielded up, and so forth, it was a fun experience.
