...shoot into walls? Over and over again?
...not know the ranges of their weapons? How do you get to level 25 and not know that pinatas don't work at 700m?
...never let go of the fire button on a mag gep? Is it some sort of attempt at psychological warfare?

...never let go of the fire button on a mag gep? Is it some sort of attempt at psychological warfare? They never need to reload anyhow, so it doesn't matter. There's a distinct advantage to not doing it, but most of them don't realize that they're giving their target a visual yardstick of how out of range they are. |

I know I shoot into walls to reload my tarans, that's about it.

... shoot at you at the start of the game
... not grab the beacon right next to them
... stay camping while their team is losing

... shoot at you at the start of the game ... not grab the beacon right next to them ... stay camping while their team is losing I do the first one every second game... and the third one when I'm testing the highest damage I can do in a sniper bot in a match  |

Sir. When I get lazy and actually field my gep I find myself doing this to cossacks a lot when spawning on the AB side of Yama. It gets aggravating because they can Reach aand get away from A faster than I can, but instead they race me to middle to promptly die. |

Hold a grudge spending most of the match coming after you, resulting in F-ing over their team because you killed them first.
**edit: I do apologize for the gripe. I killed a guy today, and he came after me the rest of the match, then two rounds later, ended up on the same team. He spent that match following me, shooting me the whole time. After thinking bout it a bit, I think I'm more bothered by the thought I bothered somebody's day that bad, more than anything. It supposed to be fun, not infuriating. If I'm bothering somebody that bad, it must be time to take a break.**

Yeah, I blast my mags because I'm bored Running distances in matches (I'd rather listen to the sound of ep mags vs the mechanical noises of the bots.) and for comms like the posters above state.
As far as indicating to the competition when I'm coming into range (i.e., aren't I an idiot for giving away my range?), the range is given by the game anyhow. I'm assuming my competition can read numbers as the range ticks down. If they are only relying on the plasma blooms to tell them when I'm in range, then they might die faster and learn to use more data in the game.
Cheers!

....get focused on killing stalkers. Have seen whole groups of folks go after 1 stalker and ignore other red bots because they hate stalkers so much. Ganging up on rhinos, spiders and shield bots make sense, but stalkers?
.....think of their bots as Swiss Army knives and try to make each one do everything (lr/mr/sr weps on 1 bot) so they are useless
.....have such an infatuation with noricums and zenits....a lot of stuff raining down doing little damage, generating very little silver and gold, and demonstrating no skills

They only have numbers if they're staring at you. It's not uncommon for me to be shooting one guy opportunistically while the maggep walking towards me comes in at an angle, blasting away. I can measure his distance AND my target because he does it for me. Then I can kill BOTH Reds. So please, for my sake, keep firing. It just helps me raise my score. |

Folks think this is a damage game, rather than beacon game, so they go join Artillery Lives Matter protests and come home rioting in-game in the most inefficient manner possible. |

I shoot at people to snicker at their fail builds, like treb users in dead city etc or triple zenit furry. When I shot the triple zenit fury right in his face as we started off, I think he got my meaning and got pissed. He repicked into a aphid Gepard and tried to block me the entire game, too bad I used him as my treb meat shield and stood in the open while unloading my missiles in my jumpy griffin. He died. We won, just like the good ending in a fairy tale, the troll died and the rest of us lived happily ever after.

...walk around with no weapons?
About an hour ago I was playing in Canyon. I was in my Thunder Orkan Boa fighting a Thunder Pinata Golem and some Vityaz sniper build in the middle of the map. I blow all the weapons off the Vityaz, decide to spare him and get through about half of the Golem before he kills me. I respawn into my midrange Vityaz and finish him off in about a minute from my spawn. I I turn around and see the same Vityaz I had fought, without his weapons, in my spawn using an afk PDB Griffin as cover from a cossack with a molot. Laughed my butt off watching our cossack go through about 3 magazines on that poor vityaz as they chased each other around a griffin for 2 minutes.

 This guy tho, I ejected from my Cossack into my mag pat and see this camper (he was in a treb/gekko nat), so I started walking to B all the while shooting his face to intentionally block his vision. Nek minnit he ejects into a mag Gep and follows me to B, shooting me. I ended up using him as a meat shield, took B and we won. |

Remember it actually took me a while to figure out how to eject. I thought I was completely missing something because the option, I think, says something along the lines of "Switch bot" but nowhere does it say actually say eject. |
