What is a sort of an 「bum-bum hole」-ish thing you do in games?

If I have a liberation/capture task, I sometimes let a low health/light take the beacon after which I liberate it. Sometimes I just liberate, get just a lil' bit out of range if I see a low health red trying to capture it, I let them capture so I can kill and get 2 liberations and 1 Capture from same beacon.

I'd sometimes shoot reds enough that their weapons pop off but not kill them then I'd turn my back on them. I told myself there was a pragmatic reason behind this but I suspect I'm just kind of unpleasant sometimes.

Cold blooded killah

1) When i'm in a duo squad, sometime i block actively allies from reachin a beacon to give time to my squad mate to reach the beacon too, then i "release" the ally

2) like Why? if i see an easy way to gain a +1 beacon, i let an enemy decap and then i kill it just after he decapped. yeah. he doesn't even get a +1 cap himself if i can

3) If i see an allied Leo (or some other cumbersome heavy) next to me, i use him as a shield with my Galahad to not get damage on my shield (mostly because if i let him stay behind me, i'm 100% dead as he will block my dodges)

4) If the battle is about to end in a win, if i can, i move in a way to shield the last enemy from receiving allied shots, so that i can eat his juicy hp off by myself

I fade when mm hammer drops down on me.It's not like we're gonna win in the first place.

This is actually not a bad strategy. I am going to steal this little nugget of insight... Thank you

It was quite funny at the time. And not everyone hated Gep Clans. Only those who faced them unprepared. For what its worth, Everyone of those guys in this picture back then is now Champion League, many are in LA clan, BMF, CDXX,HEAT and VICE. They didnt give up on the game when the meta changed, They pushed on, learned better skills and leveled up their hangars and are now playing at top tier. Just goes to show not all Gep pilots had no skills.

Ok, I know this is hard for some to believe but, Most of the Silver tier clans (not all) did NOT just go after noobs. I can post dozens of full 6v6 clan battles that we would seek each other out for games. And when you say "play normal" you mean purchase heavy low level bots with low level weapons and try and be competitive? No. Many of us learned early on that fast light bots with high level weapons makes for a very exciting game. I am not denying that we did have run ins with unprepared players, many the same level as us, so calling them "noobs" isnt accurate. The skills and teamwork we learned fighting in squads, using coms, running long range to cover each other etc are what made us into better pilots.

The thread is about things we did in the past that were crappy things we used to do. It wasnt about bringing up past butt hurt. Its a game, some people find it "fun" to run a stalker and get in between the legs of a Blue Team Fury just to lock him up, Not my thing but it happens. Just like what we did happened.

-Hit people with 4 full tulumbas salvos from a doc at 510M.

-Jump into a Plasma Fujin' s bubble with a DB Griffin after counting how many times they fired.

- Shooting people on the second level of moon map's center beacon through the floor below.

-lead reds to my spawn and kill them immediately after I die/get help as soon as someone else does.

-Firing Tulus every two seconds on my Doc to see if whatever I'm shooting at gets ballsy, then unload 4 full Tulus at them when they abandon cover.

That's exactly what a stalker is supposed to do.

If you're one or two heavy/Au bots down by the time the match is a sure thing, ya have to make up for those repair costs somehow

I was playing on power plant the other day and nobody went to capture the ship beacon. I run all Brawler's, nothing faster than a Galahad. So, there I am in my DB Griffin, trudging along to the beacon, when the stalker that was going to the one immediately inland changed direction and jumped off the ledge behind me, to run past me and capture the beacon that I'd been heading to, a second before I could get there to share the capture.

The stalker turned and shot at me twice and ran on his merry way to capture more beacons. I left the game. Good luck getting that 5Au reward with a 5vs6.

Cruel move to the four other players, but that damn stalker just got me so mad!
