Ok, so we all have that time when your team is just so stupid that you are speechless. How about we throw some screenshots on this thread and let's see which teammates get the prize "Dumbest of the Dumb". For example, there was a Zenit Schutze camping in my last match. Anyone got a teammates that is dumber?

I used to be so concerned with my win% and get mad when paired up with dumb teammates or campers. Now, i just take advantage of the opportunity to improve my avg damage.

Yeah..the problem here is you don't get the gold. ( I'm pretty desperately need gold right now.. No 5th slot, no Orkan, no Galahad, no Lancelot, no Fury, nothing. (

And if you want more gold, I'd recommend going down to a lower tier, where you are more capable of pretty much carrying your team by yourself and capping ALL of the beacons if necessary

Oh, 4/6 (low bronze) is a fine tier to farm gold in, you should be getting at least 5 gold pretty consistently once you get used to it.

Well i did get 5 gold consistently, the problem is i don't play that much XD only 10-15 games a days, sometimes maybe a little more if i have the time. And i calculate i would need an extra month to get 5th slot.

Honestly though, every game i random, except when there is a clubber on my team i always feel like i have to carry my team harder than Atlas carry the Earth XD. 5 gold, because the guy who deals less damage and equal beacon get the other 5.

Try to go for beacons first, then damage. The most beacons and 2nd highest damage medals will get 8 gold instead of 5.

I would disagree, a taran Cossack is very good in bronze after you learn how to cornershoot (sticking only your gun out from cover to take minimal damage from the enemy), and keep your distance from close range rockets, if someone tries to shoot you with tulumbas/CRV pins, just jump out of the way, since most pilots are not very skilled in low and high bronze, you will most likely avoid the majority of damage. (Just hope saltesers doesn't see what you have just said.)

A destrier or almost any reasonable light bot can be a good capper in low bronze. Just need to set a pattern at initial spawn. And yes, in low bronze and even higher, the more aggressive pilot does carry the team.
Most pilots are timid and do not want to lose their bots. So, build your hanger by working for that fifth slot and be willing to lose a bot a minute for the first couple minutes. Just assume your team are idiots and have them prove you wrong. Many times they will.

You despair with one Zenit shultz? I just had a game with zenit boa, zenit Natasha, zenit carnage earlier. I had to check to see if they were not to squadding to troll people. The guy with zenit boa have 4 slots, most of them are zenit bots including a zenit Leo. I just rolled with it, such is life in random. I wish I took a screen shots, that was a weird game. We lost pretty fast so it's good.
i have seen zenit furies as well. Spend on a gold bot, puts zenits on it.
to answer the thread, pretty 「slow」, I assume most of my team and opponents are 「slow」 monkeys unless they can show otherwise through damage and game play.

"If a Cossack with one Ecu is good, surely a Destrier with two is twice as good!" Interestingly enough, my Boa still beat him to the beacons, so I'm not sure exactly what he was doing.

LoL, fuzzy bunny. What does that censored stand for? :v :v :v Another word for slow, or an unkind word for special needs kids. Deadalready I had to check to see that I wasn't in that pic. I had a game just like that, I gave up and stood my pinata thunder Leo with them and role played as a treb Natasha. It didn't go very well.

I'm a fairly experienced player so when I go solo and get randoms, I know it is a crapshoot. While I sometimes scratch my head at their "Swiss Army knife" bots, I realize they are trying to play as well as they can. If they all lead off with long range sniper bots, more likely they are going to camp and snipe which means I have to alter my game play to compensate and cap more beacons. The only truly "stupid" randoms I see are ones that don't do any good....I have had some chasing me around the map shooting me instead of the red bots. Fine, you may not like my 4/12 mag geps, but why screw your other teammates? When I'm in match, I'm there to win for blue.

I love when I can pull three 'bots over to a corner by having them chase me because of Aphids strikes. Three 'bots taken out of beacon grabbing because of my pain in the butt Patton. Sucks when I look up and we're down 4 beacons to 1 when it was 5 'bots vs. 3.

Hey, it happens...it happens in real life as well. I'm always working with at least one person that's completely incompetent, completely relying on the team to get the job done. And you know what? The job gets done because our bread and butter relies on it. Just like life, we don't always get to choose whose on our team but It speaks volumes how a person handles the situation. I applaud those to try their best to make it work. Anybody that drops out because they don't like their team, guess what? You're the problem, not your inexperienced or 'dumb' teammates.
