Solo Challenge: Brokeback Pug: Why can't I quit you?

I hate those games where we flank a group of the other team and completely smash them and just NASCAR around to the next group and I'm just pummeling people.

I lean back in chair and crack knuckles because it's in the bag t-

You have been killed! Your team lost!

Huh

 

I know that feeling too...so many games where I've racked up kill after kill, and I figure everything is well in hand. Then I die, and realize that all 4-6 kills were from me, and the rest of my team was asshatting around somewhere...

 

Was messing around with a dubious test build and had one of those games (although one of the other DWF did break 350).

Two team mates managed to both get 4 damage. What are the odds of that?
And honorable mention for getting 2 assists with 4 damage.

 

I only have the problem where I dont know we are going to lose occasionally. Most of the time I am painfully aware how bad its going and how hard I have to try to make up the difference sometimes resulting in me taking dumb risks when I could have waited for a much better moment. I usualy find myself trying to wrangle my pugs but we all know that it's often like herding cats. "Stay together." "Never go saddle on this side." "thats a killbox don't push there." "Wait for them to come inside" "Don't chase the squirrel!!!" "WTF are you doing in D5?!??" "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PRESS THE R KEY" etc. Usually try to keep it civil but sometimes...

 

Incredible team.

 

Since he was in a trial Dragon, I'd assume that he made a LLas sweep and hit 2 targets before dying fast?

 

SHD with xl340, while other 2 did good rest did terrible.

the funniest thing is that it was 6-6 when I DC, I killed first 5 in like 3 min, legged and adder and DC (we were 5-6 and a mate was near me so I guess he killed him one second later).

I rejoin and it was already lost...I was out of SRM ammo anyway

 

Depends how the game went and the circumstances.

I tend to say "Nice collapse" or if I'm fairly upset "This reminds me why I try to avoid the solo queue, oh wait this is the group queue....." or "I tried" if it was close and I died last.

At times I'm just angry and rage or walk away. My unit knows only too well I take this game too seriously.

 

I know what you mean but at times we need to pull back and acknowledge that we weren't involved in the other part of the battle and we really have no idea what happened. Were the other side mass chaining artilley and all playing well together or just really good players who are churning isk and therefore naturally play off each other? Were our other part newer players that panicked under fire? Were our team just plain shit? I feel the frustration as much as anyone but as much because I have no idea what happened and thats what I often type - "what happened" or "what killed you". I'm not being sarcastic I genuinely want to know. Sadly 9/10 times people don't reply. TBH, for all I know our lances actions put the other ones in a terrible position and while we were ripping appart everything we came across they were dying unsupported.

 

Last weekend we met a player scoring 2 assists with 2 damage. Quite an achievement.

 

Is achievement really the word you meant?

 

I forgot, there's always one joke I try to make if I have the time, and I'm the last one alive (usually happens in my lights). I'll run to a safe spot, and then issue my epic challenge to the other team:

"So. Call it a draw?"

They never answer...though in my best ever 3L match, when they never answered, I made it into a win instead...so yeah, that was nice

 

my last match last night on terra therma with 3 guys saying 'I'm not going mid, have fun children'.

Turned into half of team foraging for wild berries and flowers along the mountainside far away from mid.. Well I went to mid with the one lance that hadn't bitched on team chat yet.

97 damage when we got raped and I was average.. It took every nerve in my body to resist launching again because it was past 12:30am and I was really tired (furious).

 

Seen that line used a few times and the otehr side joined in - though no one ever agreed...usually along the lines of ... "sure, come out into the open where we can see you and we'll discuss it".

 

Good for you, when I'm tired I get far more ratty I notice.

 

I'm not angry if pugs are not skilled with their mechs and the enemy team wins by playing better/more coordinated - everyone had a tough start. But what really makes me angry is, if they don't listen, e.g. pls stick together - and they walk solo toward the enemy in a suicide run or abandon the team, ignoring all the team warning. Like capping Gamma at Alpine - in an Atlas - solo, while the rest is fighting somewhere else.

 

I was the last one standing... tried to hold them off... X_X

 

You're going to need a back brace after that game.

 

Hmmm, I don't have any where my teammates of stunk out loud, but this one certainly fits the OP:

Oh man, yeah, a while back I had one game where my lance held the hill on Alpine Peaks alone while the other two lances circled around for some idiotic reason. We were just chewing threw everything we encountered with great teamwork and focus fire for a pug lance with no comms. I thought we had it in the bag, when we realized it was 6 on 4 with us showing internals and the enemies basically still fresh because our other two lances were completely useless.

 

This literally made me chuckle it's so sad and your screenshot mirrors your story perfectly...
