I want to start a thread to give props to those honorable players who never leave a battle, not matter the odds. Stand by your teammates, honor the blue, and die trying. Initial thoughts are you need to have been outdone at least 2:1 in TDM (e.g. - 36-18). More honor the worse the match went. Please offer suggestions for BR/DOM, but I think it would have to be more time based, like if the match is done in under 5 min, with more honor for those done in under 3. We’d need to rely on people telling the truth in those because I doubt most folks would screenshot the end of match timing in time. This was one of my better outings against impossible odds. Damage was high, but I just could not take enough down to make a meaningful difference. Pretty sure I surprised some of them with the whoop「bum-bum」 I laid on some of them. I cleared our spawn briefly at one point. And thatâs what this thread is about - the small wins in the brutal losses.

I'll have to start screen capping the flogging I suffer through. But I will.....

I’ve had some of my highest damage totals against the full squads and it’s taught me small nuances about the game as well. There’s always something to learn. I turned into a bit of a game as well to help the frustration. Find the weakest bot and kill them - try to take one with you on the way out. Small wins. I love walking out of those knowing I took a few down.

This one was painful. I got dropped in late and after my 2nd bot, I couldn’t drop again. I could have done soooo much more, lol.

Had one tonight. Typical HOOD rush. after losing my first bot to a jumping EMP loaded Khepri and Revenant pair, I spawned behind them as they were busy crashing our spawn and took two out at their spawn who were roof camping

Push for every beacon, every kill, every save. You never know⦠I didn't pay full attention to the pic the first time I saw this post - I focused on the message. But Rollo Tomasi, this picture is so rad on so many levels. Last two standing, Evolife Brothers, two of the baddest 「bum-bum」 bots in the game, beacon bar is close, 40 seconds left so was clearly an epic battle, you are missing an "arm"...I am imagining an ever cooler story about being overwhelmed early, 4 or 5 capped, and slowly botting them out and taking back beacon control to finally take it in the end. If it isn't that cool, don't ruin my fantasy about this pic . If it is that cool or cooler, feel free to share the glory story here! Those are sweet, and as you stated, another great reason to stay in every battle - you never know.

Personally, If I'm not the guy/gal in the top3 in the "fight anyway in the face of certain death" match, I hardly pay it much notice. However, I do tend to post those in the "Wall of Fame" thread to show them my gratitude.

Eh, got pwnt by these guys...still fought on, slamming my face into them repeatedly. Someday my face will dent them! You would never enjoy the sweetness of victory, if you did not know the bitterness of defeat. I would have posted some on my Clan NEXT beatdowns, but you guys should be tired of seeing Oliver Kloesov beat on me. And if you aren't SHAME ON YOU!

Ended quick once they found you and my goodness, that Typhon was short lived. Very nice escape from the Luchador with your Siren - I though you were toast!

At first pass, this does not seem to fit the theme of this thread. However, this match started with a HOOD-like spawn raid bum rush and we were quickly down 6-1. I think that is when the second person bailed. The first person on blue looks like a black screen who didn’t dump out fast enough. The one who got some damage points and bailed was a high masters, and they missed an epic comeback. After finally clearing out the first wave of Revenants, Smuta Sirens, and Khepris, the remaining reds bots were not nearly as strong but they stayed just as aggressive. It was like a turkey shoot - they kept rushing in (a little uncoordinated) and we kept smashing them to bits. These are the reasons to never bail…

Yep, got Deso clan beatdown... I know many bail the moment they see a full 6 Champ squad dropping. Got them again very next match...STILL fought them with my puny 1.4-1.9 lvl gear. Life hands you lemons, sometimes you still can't make lemonade. Face the music and ride out the bitter squeeze.

Getting the craps of losing, due to morons giving up caps without defending them or taking an enemy one in return.
Mind you, these are the "Masters" & "Champs" with MK2-MK3 gear and maxed titans. Yet my MK1 gear and lvl 30 titan 「bum-bum」 is fighting for a win, when they are fighting not to die.
Then these same morons get into TDM and "kamikazi" trying to get max damage, regardless of how it ruins the teams defensive lines. Or regardless of how many bots it cost our team. TDM is NOT about who did the most damage. It is about making the most kills, while DENYING the enemy as many kills as possible. THAT is what determines the outcome of the match.

TDM is NOT about who did the most damage. It is about making the most kills, while DENYING the enemy as many kills as possible. THAT is what determines the outcome of the match. As a counter to the TDM though, I am finding that you almost have to be over aggressive sometimes to slow the red bull rush with the current teleport Meta. I’ve found I can alter games where I have very defensive minded blues who sit back too much and allow red into the spawn by giving a single hard press into Red spawn and make them think twice. I’m definitely not damage hunting, but trying to slow the push. To your point, a well coordinated blue defensive position is great but I can usually tell a defensive position vs. a scared blue team awaiting annihilation. Playing the harpy as my first drop has been great for letting me assess which tactic is needed next. It’s a slower paced bot that can control red line, with the flame bombs can counter the Bendie Sirens to great effect, and can live a good while if played conservatively. When I know my time is getting close to done, I’ll press it hard with my last breath into red territory to slow their press just a bit. Gives me a better view to see what is needed next as well. All that said, you point is hugely valid and needs to be considered by anyone playing TDM - respect your blue brothers and assess if they are coordinating, or if you have a group of solo minded kamikazi hunters

Just played this game, didn't even realise it was a full squad until the end, I thought it was just a duo. Nevertheless, I killed 3 of their Orochis with my Harpy right out of the gate, and got a Fenrir and sniped a Murometz with my Orion at the end. Game was less than 3 minutes but I felt I contributed. Dealt more damage than any of them.

While not taking a pounding on this one. I still however was struggling to get the beacons. As my team was too busy taking pot shots at reds, just because it is a "sniper map". While I do encourage ranged builds on open maps, one must remember the battle mode. In Dom/BR get off your stinking 「multiple dookie delivery chute」 to take and defend caps, regardless of the map. Edit: Took first place with 0 ranged builds. Clearly outperforming all my "sniper" blues by getting to the caps for offense/defense.
