Jesus, the game seems to be full of them, and the higher I get (Silver 1 at the moment) The more numerous they seem to become.
1) It seems so many of them don't seem to grasp that if you can't keep the beacons under control you are almost guaranteed to loose unless you drastically outmatch your opponents and can annihilate them quickly.
2) support bots (furys) focusing on stalkers instead of pinning down the other teams heavies and mediums.
The MM isn't making the issue any better either.

The MM is skewed towards players who go for damage as opposed to beacons. I hope they fix it ASAP because apart from people quitting that's the biggest problem the game faces right now.

I always expect my random squadmates to only look out for themselves, so I am never disappointed. This also means that Trident Furys will happily lose a match as long as they get top 2 in damage (and still gain league points). Beacons are nearly meaningless to them. |

I'm fine with that, but in order to rack up the damage, you need time to do it. I've taken part in way to many matches lately, where the other team immediately caps 3 or 4 beacons to my teams 0 or 1. The net result is you end up in a situation where you can't kill the other team fast enough. I've had a few matches where the other team spawned 3 or 4 gareths at once. This is by far the most annoying part of the game, no matter how tactically aware I am, its sometimes impossible to make a difference. Quality first post. No surprise the Furys are trying to kill stalkers, they are a major threat to a Fury if they get inside 350m. I'm fine with it when they get close, but I'm talking about guys doing it from maximum range, completely ignoring their teammates that need help in the middle. |

i do agree with you. thats why when i play solo i only choose PP and DC map
those maps are small to reach each beacon if i need/want to cap.

I've actually found that Shenzen and Canyon have enough cover to still be playable, and small enough to reach a beacon fairly quickly. Springfield and Yamantau are the 2 I avoid if I'm trying to gain league points solo. |

I, too, don't expect much from my random teammates. I only hope I can make someone happy if I can help him, as it makes me happy when they are helping. And while these instances are few and far between they do exist. Now, for the op in hand, i agree that the new mm doesn't really help as it is now, but I actually come across more competent teammates than before, where i am now. I'm in Silver 1 (android) and I found the experience in lower leagues to be poorer. This stands true for me, both pre and post launch of the new mm. |

The MM isn't making the issue any better either. Totally in agreement. I have seen players totally ignore beacons when they are right there by them. Then there only seems to be 3 maps on any given day. Canyon, Springfield and Yama with a brief sprinkling of DC and Shenzen. Once I hit gold 3 I am on the express highway back down to Silver II.

You're only seeing 3 maps because players who run exclusively close range bots will skip Yama, Springfield and Canyon. You won't lose any league points if you leave before the timer hits zero. |

Maybe beacons should indeed be rewarded more, I don't know but here I was really frustrated.  |

I think the top spot for stupid players has to go to the ones with ranged weapons who JUST WON'T DROP THEM. I just played a game with a guy who was in his starting rig the whole game, when he should have bailed after the first 2 minutes. Dude... you have ONE of your three trebs left. You weren't helping when you had all three. DROP IT ALREADY! The guy had THREE furies in his hanger, a pin/tulum griff, and a Lancelot (which was apparently just for show)

Just in case you didn't get the clue how messed up Leagues and MM are... If you can't get 3 pages of posts in a "Stupid Players" thread in 24 hours, things must REALLY be bad.

I get you, hence why I go for as many beacons as I can, if we win, it´s certain I´ll get the 5 gold, if we lose, meh, I no longer care about league.

I know that drives me insane also.. I seem to be the only guy who runs a likes mad man trying to keep 3 beacons blue.. everyone just want max damage for chance of gold.. |

He lost the center beacon pretty soon afterwards and I had to defend the farm beacon against 4(!) reds. By the time they got me, we were already 4 beacons behind and whilest trying to get back to the farm beacon our dominance bar dropped to zero. Maybe he was smarter than I and startet going for damage when he saw that all was lost. |

Springfield has always been about people ignoring beacons on the far right/left side and either 1.) stay on spawn, or 2.) tunnel vision your way to enemy spawn. All the while one or two people people do 1v1 or 1v2 over the beacons over the course of 2 beacons. It's been this way since the dawn of time. |

The MM isn't making the issue any better either. Calm down and play the game. If you want to have a match that involves tactics and strategy then i suggest you join a clan that has its own out of game chat room and squad with them. Including comms to your squads will make it more fun and you all can coordinate towards winning that particular match. There is a limit to teamwork when you bunch 6 randoms guys in a team. You just cannot expect much. So just play your chosen role to the best of your ability, if you see at the spawn that your team lacks cappers then eject and start capping beacons. You will always come across a team that has no cappers and all campers, most likely you will lose but so what? Its a solo random. hope for better team mates next match. Stay calm and enjoy the game. |
