At least it was only a pub match, but I know that feel bro.

Yep... I dropped a few uplinks/hives on the map before switching to Assault and literally NO ONE else managed to drop a single uplink/hive for the rest of the game.

I was the only one that went for the objective hack (Domination) after dropping my one-man-orbital on them. Everyone else would just spawn on my uplinks, kill my nanohives by shooting at the ground, and die repeatedly.

Sad

And this is why I almost never run solo anymore. If I'm not dropping uplinks, no one is dropping uplinks. If I'm not scanning, no one is scanning. If I'm not hacking, no one is hacking. Got to do everything myself. That is enough to drive any sane person mad.

This feel, I know this feel.
I run solo the vast majority of the time and sometimes it feels like I'm the only person trying to win. Starting to stick to ambush where I can carry teams for this very reason now.

I've had my fair share of those. I'll be forging and literally clear out every enemy/uplink on an objective and no one seems to go in for the hack. Like I've done everything in my power to pave a Golden Bridge to victory and no one seems to want to cross it.

It is difficult to hack solo as you tend to get shot in the back. The vast majority of the objective control in that game came from the semi-competent blueberries who hacked whilst I covered them.

Because the worse your team does, the better you'll do as a Logi. This is the exact reason the payout system needs to be re-worked. I bet you got less than 500,000 ISK for that match, maybe less than 400k

At least for me, there's a point where I have to toss aside all logic and just do it. "Yeah I'm the only one here and if I hack this I'll probably get shot in the back by a spawner, but the rest of my team is doing **** and we're losing so I got to try."

I'm learning to kite with the laser rifle and a scout suit in ambushes at the moment,, and that's working out pretty well. It's a bit of a sad KDR padding exercise but it's enjoyable and imho more interesting than brawling with an AR all day. When I run my SCR, triage hives work really well for that 'forting up' you described. I prefer to run Skirmishes though because that's the mode FW uses, so I'm trying to train myself to get better at that. ATM I'm training hacking skills and perhaps even trying to fit a hacking module on some of my suits so I can do the hacking which is otherwise deadly to even attempt.

I don't know, both solo and squad playstyles have their pros and cons. Solo has the obvious disadvantage of not being as effective for the win as a squad, but at the same time I find that doing well solo is one of the more satisfying things you can do, because if you score well you know it was much more based on your own merits. Proper teamwork with a squad is also great, and especially rewarding if you're directing newbies and seeing them dominate regardless of SP. The moments where everything starts to come together with a squad of friends are really great. Personally, I solo more. It's mostly because I have no friends, but also because I enjoy that playstyle.

But were these guys actually not trying? I can imagine being lazy at work (where I am right now) , but being lazy in a game. I do think the guy who went 4-19 was in the same boat as you. Just not as skilled. You don't die 19 times sitting on your a**. Trust me i know:)

Pfff, this was hardly a post about K/D whoring. Besides, 26-2 is an ok K/D. It was about blueberries not doing jack **** in pubs. Your 31-0 was pretty good. The rest are meh. I can post my album of 50-0 to 60-0 games too, but I'm sure no one cares as, again, that wasn't the point of this post.
