its the update they are now grapes and you my friend have been graped!

I don't think the people causing the biggest issues give two ***** about their KD. They just aren't fighting.

One of my matches this morning there was a sniper named Slipshot. Finished the match 2-0 with less than 200 WP.

Or the other 12 solo players that died 4 or 5 times and just stopped. With 80% shields remaining the match was over.

You beat us by a tick when we had 10 players for the first half of the match. Funny, you left that part out.

Also, it was only 6 districts.

In all honesty there was never any intention to try and flip any districts but since Sosa is sending my players mails again.... Well, ask him how that's worked for him in the past.

No showing a battle from the start is a whole lot different than showing up, seeing the other team, panicking because you think you're going to lose, then backing out.

TSO corps are such crybabies and it gives us lots of lols. Keep it up, boys.

I know the team channel can suck as immature players like to spam it with beat boxing, singing, screaming, and general attention getting behavior.

I don't want to derail this thread, so no need to reply to this post, but I once had a squeaker tell me that he was going to sexually assault me with a McDonald's hamburger.

I could not stop laughing for the rest of the match. It was very distracting.

Im sorry What!?

Like a McRibbed? Those have exhilarating texture.

The tablets of KEQ PC Ethics should be released for public viewing. It's hard to keep up.

Because noone wants to get stomped. Its all the proto stompers fault. They have no gun game, they all trash players, they all have no respect.

Get a proto suit yourself or stop playing the game. Proto stompers are not the problem. The problem is putting 13 **** players on a team with 2 or 3 decent players and expecting those three people to hold up the rest of the team as they go up against an enemy team of mostly proto suits.

Matchmaking and dumbass people with little to no situational awareness is what is ****** up in this game.

The phrase "team carry" has become a household phrase. Need a back brace when carrying the team I've been doing it so long. I've even wrote to Saxonmish on one of his vids saying that one day the matchmaker will bless us to be on the same team so he has some F*CKING help when he loses a dom after going 55/7 while his entire team goes f*cking negative, and loses the match?! .

ThorOdinson42 is right about the payout system. Far too low, and I don't understand why? If I've put 200k into a battle the payout is the same as if I've put 1 mil in. Kill 25 get 200k. Kill 5 get 200k.

You know... just killing the enemy in the redline/cru doesn't win the game... (farming those freshberries)
Perhaps good ol' saxonmish should instead of camping spawns capture/destroy them.

We all know this is not what happens.

If you kill 25 people you will obviously earn more WP's than if you kill 5 people. So in turn you get more ISK. Nothing to complain about here.

The only valid thing is about when you put 200k in a battle and 1 mil in. That needs to be changed, as 'proto-stompers' who are apparently KD whores have to be to sustain ISK losses. If ISK payout systems improved then i am sure we would see more players willing to fight and LOSE suits to WIN

Kill 5 get 200k. I don't get it? Now they say vets get even lower payouts if we don't go balls to the wall, but if we do the payouts are still low? Wait a minute?!

The matchmaker needs to stop being referred to because it clearly is a notional idea. There's no way CCP can come here and say "there is a working matchmaker" with a straight face. 99% of all matches are one sided as ever. I've been on teams where the enemy team only had one true blue that wasn't in squad, and our team had our 4 man squad fighting tooth and nail for no reason. The other 12 were sniping, afk, or redline tanking.

However, we can blame alot of things, but it comes down to integrity. Some of these players i dont even want on my team. They won't push a swing set let alone a point! They have no intention of helping anyone. They still play this game like they playing C.O.D., and to them it's all about the leaderboards. They will see you engaging a target, but will not fire on him because they may not get the kill. I've watched this bs happen. They fight like they hate their team mates more than the enemy.

The fundamentals of team play have been washed away by the solo merc mentality. Low isk payout, bad matchmaking, and incompetency doesn't help. Some of these players make me wonder if they're this backwards in real life. I've even attempted to use the ever so useless team chat. Screamed in it, typed in it, but all for nothing. I just wanna know why they don't carry equipment? No links, no ammo, no scanners, but that rep tool gets major play lol! Then people complain about tankers with equipment?! You wouldn't have any links in some matches if i didn't jump out, kill a guy, drop a link, and fight the tank off you!

What I don't understand is guys like Thor are almost never on my team even "accidentally". You mean to tell me the matchmaker can put me against 6 Nyain san or a full q sync of two PC team squads 12 deep, but I can't get another competent player unless I bring em? I've been in matches that were utter landslides, but this matchmaker never puts me on teams with FA, third rock, or other strong players? It seems I'm doomed to carry academy graduates into quitting the game?!

If he's fresh out of the academy he's basically cannon fodder while we get crushed for not having team mates.

We don't need tiered matches, we need randoms running better gear and coming down from the roofs to contribute.

When I was a kid, I had to walk 10 miles though the snow, barefoot, to get to school where they whipped me with belts every time I got an answer wrong.

This makes no sense to me.

We have had people using proto for the 2.5 years I've been playing. Matches were much tougher. People still fought.

I've been thinking about how to help improve this and have realized that it's too bad the team chat channel is not used more.

I know the team channel can suck as immature players like to spam it with beat boxing, singing, screaming, and general attention getting behavior (mute button should be used on these people), but the biggest balance issue is having one team with coordinated play against a team with non-coordinated play.

In my experience, the most successful squads are the ones where one player calls the match and leads the squad.

So next time you are on a team that is not pushing, I encourage vets to use the team channel to call out which objectives/installations to take next, ask for uplinks, call out rally points, and give basic general direction (like: someone flux that uplink, take out that logi, etc).

Maybe a few blues will listen to the directions and the team might play cohesively.
