So where are the rants on "meching" out too early? It's a "crime" to leave your teammates outright but it's not to play like a tool and blow all your bots before the half way point? I am not talking about meching out at the end in a realistic attempt to win, or meching out while taking a lot of reds with you. I am talking about playing like crap.
If you want me to stay and not leave the match by the halfway point there had better still be 6 people on my team. I have had many games where I am 4on6 or 3on5 because my team meched out. I stuck around enough to learn It's pointless to play on 98% of the time even if the enemy is about to mech out.
On another note I will now exclusively refer to dash bots as cheat bots since they emulate lag jumping but allow you to do it on demand, like a cheater.

Well... I guess now there IS a rant about people sucking at the game. Bravo! Getting solidly into diamond or master on android and sucking that bad is an accomplishment in itself I suppose, or is it? Man, tbh, the league means so little to me now... I have a main account in Gold 2 atm, and a lvl 25 alt account in Silver 2 ( I think...) and I see Maxed hangars in both leagues. Keep in mind that both Silver and Gold are, in Android servers anyway, only paired up with people in the same league. and yeah... straight up 12/12 across the board in Silver 3. So, yeah it isn't hard to believe that someone riding on the coattails of a good team, or that does the most damage on the losing side consistently enough to gain points, without having tons of actual game skill, to get on up there in the standings under the right circumstances. As far as the particular game(s) that prompted this post... all I know is that you can, at any time, be dealing with someone who is having either device problems, network lag, server lag, or who has someone else on their account for whatever reason (their kid/sibling/friend/alter ego/3rd or 4th personality... you get the picture) so it is hard to just straight call it "people sucking." But at the same time... look at it this way, if they do suck, there is as much of a chance that they will end up on the Red team and will be a bit of Ag for you, when you need it most! Wolves and Sharks gotta eat too, ya know  I digress... didn't mean to divert the rant... Flame on! |

Even good players have bad games. What if every encounter is with the type of bot that is your greatest weakness? Sometimes things work out and other times it all goes awry.
Sometimes you mech out for being too aggressive, but other times you were going to lose if you were played more cautiously. There are plenty of players who sit back and think center beacon is someone else's problem. It's not anyone else's fault they are the only ones standing at the end, complaining they would have won if not for lame teammates.

Many over time,.. it's actually meant to be sarcastic and pointed at someone who hijacked my dash thread and meched out in blatant aggression against reds however skillfully every game I saw them in after that.

I had a game on Dead City today where I swung left, died, respawned, helped kill the carnage flipping our left (bridge) beacon, advanced down the left again, died, respawned, and SAW THAT SOME AHOLE DIDN'T REFLIP THE BEACON!!!!!
And yeah, after about 3 seconds realized that it was me.
It hurt, man. It hurt having my suckage manifest in front of me, God and mankind.
So I uh, walked over and flipped it blue.

Edit: Forgot to tag stygianumbra . Whoopsie Thanks you play well for that style, you play like this guy I was in a clan with who would charge into any battle. It works rather well when your teammates are good and help. One where you were on red I have never seen a non-light cross shenzhen so fast whilst capping a side beacon you made it all the way to our spawn shooting our furies with orkans in a rog, I was loling. I have two words: Tactical Retreat |

OP, whether serious or sarcastic, you come off as potentially hypocritical and dishonest. One can interpret your statements if you don't play the way I want I'm gonna be a Leaver. If I don't like something its a crime or cheating.
I'm like Paps I'm super aggressive, not just a knifer, but a brawler. I always try to hit or flip a few beacons, defend beacons and team mates......and while I love killing I really like trying to fub up the reds day by taking chunks of HP out of anyone and everyone I can.

I laughed so hard at this part, particularly the "/alter ego/3rd or 4th personality" part... But yeah, I watched a War Robots video of a dude using a Champion's or Legend's account. I think the video was actually linked on this forum by a popular member. So if someone is playing poorly, there could be someone else using the account. I've let co-workers play on my account. I don't care about my teammates enough to give it my all every match. It'd be different if this game had tournaments and playoffs or something... I wouldn't let anyone play on my account if I needed to win. |
