I agree with this statement in the case of PC. But in pubs, that are supposed to be for fun, not-so-much. In FW, to a slightly higher degree I tend to agree, but just like in pubs, not-so-much.

I think it matters more in pubs, where you can only bring 3 people with you.

Let's say we have two Logis, both really nice people, great team players. The only difference between them is one can kill and the other one has no gungame. If you only have one slot in squad left, who do you choose? I would take the guy who can get kills, because if he is the last guy alive he can kill the threat and revive everyone, or throw down a juicy link for the squad.

Now if I have to choose between a douche who is a slayer and a buddy who is horrid but a great person, I'll pick the nice person, but that is not based on skills, but attitude.

But in like for like situation where both people are identical aside from gungame, only someone who wants to lose would take the objectively worse logi.

Would you disagree?

Xeriphem Glitched Connection 86	Posted - 2015.09.21 12:24:00 - [1] - Quote Sunday morning just prior to downtime I received a hate mail from a teammate following a winning ambush. Something along the lines of "You should try to win the battle instead of useless point collecting, I see no good in you". The reason... I dunno maybe because I finished third overall in the range of 1200-1300 WP and going 0/2? The two players above and at least one below me (maybe two) had double digit kills with single digit deaths. Something like 15/6, 14/3/ etc. So, let me get this right. You would rather I go 3/12-14-16 with maybe 8 assists in an ambush instead of keeping the team in the fight with 3 second drop uplinks and a proto rep tool, picking up down teammates with a proto Nanite Injector, and keeping them supplied with ammunition and in good health with proto triage nanohives? Thanks for your input. I'll keep that in mind next time I'm standing over your proto dropsuit with officer weapons watching you bleed out. I mean after all, heaven forbid YOU should contribute to my USELESS point gathering. I'm WHERE?! "If you're playing fair, you're not doing it right!" - Jenza Aranda

No I would not disagree in a situation like that. This is a slightly different scenario though. I was running solo that morning before any corp mates were online and playing. I wanted to get a few matches in before downtime. This mail came from someone I didn't know. Not even sure if I did or did not do something for him. In my opinion he was probably upset because I took "his" third place spot without getting as many or more kills than him. But I don't know that for sure, just conjecture at this point. I didn't take the time to look and see where he finished in the standings. This match ended about 15 minutes before the top of the hour and the start of downtime (6:00 AM I my case) and I wanted to get another ambush going before I ran out of time. I'm WHERE?!
