4,272 [RLGN] Estimated_Prophet Members 14,935 posts 26,442 battles Report post #8 Posted March 11, 2017 For me, such potatoes were in co-op. Doing what I can to support team in Zuiho; see the inevitable coming down the pike and head for the corner; after that it was just a matter of whether or not I could cycle my aircraft fast enough as the yolo bots tried to close with and sink me, one after another... I won; with 5 ships sunk. Wonder how many of the spud players in that game were surprised when a ''win.' came up in their ports; or if they even cared enough to notice. I know the bots are tougher in higher tiers, but an 'all real players' team really does have to try to loose to the bots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
51 [MCGA] YugumoKaiNi [MCGA] Beta Testers 103 posts 19,816 battles Report post #9 Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) I'm just exhausted from Ranked. I'm so tired of what I see every night. The games tend to be decided in the first 5 minutes. Then it's just 10 minutes of desperately trying to turn it around or laughing as the enemy blunders around. Fijis going up to the other side of an island from an entire team, solo. One game, two Fijis went to two ends of the same island and suicided. Battleships charging into caps even though there are two Shiras on the other side. No one is ever spotted. Teams splitting. Solo Sims and Mahans that don't smoke anyone and abandon your two radar cruisers. Belfasts that run up in the open, smoke, and then sit there. Solo DDs going to the edges of the map. BB on my team - it's a Colorado. In fact, why not give me a Gneis too. Enemy has all Scharns and Nagatos. CV on my team - it's a Ranger! Casually request that the whole team goes to one cap and then someone says, "No one is the boss of me!" and then harasses you as you run into him on your team every game and lose four games in a row. I know - LOG OFF. Right? Log off. Well I have work. I can only play at certain times. And I can't carry. Maybe I'm not good enough to carry these guys.

199 [NEMO] Thraxian Members 815 posts 8,771 battles Report post #10 Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Just lost a random battle where my team was down 6 ships in 4 minutes without killing a single enemy. Meanwhile, I capped B in my DD, then had to go to our rear and defend from an enemy DD and CA that capped C then flanked us, while the remnants of our team all died at A. Sigh.... The game was over so fast I couldn't manage to do more than 35k damage in a Gremy, yet I got top xp on my team. Sheesh!

49 [FKTOL] McDoob Members 277 posts Report post #18 Posted March 11, 2017 Indeed, at that point even the Buddha would start breaking furniture. I had a really bad losing streak that quite literally extended beyond a single week. I decided to take some time away from the game. Played something else for a week or two. Came back, and started pwning. Perhaps this is an example the OP could learn from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
285 [-B-Z-] Bravo_Zulu_000 Alpha Tester 715 posts 4,225 battles Report post #19 Posted March 11, 2017 Sorry guys, but it's a free to play anonymous internet game which is going to draw all sorts of people to play it. As well, many people will play and enjoy the game in their own way, don;t read the forums nor care about playing smarter nor better which is likely not the same way you want to play, and some even have technical issues with lag spikes, poor connections, etc. that hinder their ability to play well Otherwise, some of those potatoes are paying players who help fund the development of the game and it is very likely if it weren't for those potatoes, you wouldn't have your overall higher win rates. Stop complaining about others you don't even know and realize that those who anger you, control you and likely hinders your own ability to play well due to frustration. There is way more to life than a pixel ship game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
613 twitch133 Members 2,614 posts 3,604 battles Report post #20 Posted March 11, 2017 You need to look at it like this. Yes, you have weekend potatoes on your team, but the enemy team is just as likely to have the same number of potatoes on their team. Take advantage of them and farm everything from them. Wins, XP, damage, kills. The weekend potatoes allowed me to put down my best personal round overall in any ship this morning. They were so predictable in both movement and damage control use.

656 [B-Z] ThisGuySlaps Members 1,684 posts 18,459 battles Report post #21 Posted March 11, 2017 That's what annoys me. The enemy team rarely loses all ots ships by the 8 minutes mark whereas mine does. Using chat to discuss options or designate targets does nothing. Anyway I have some fries with Tabasco and I'm going to forget my problems and do something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
