Marking People In PvP

[Mawlzy]

It takes a team to win the game. I can only assume insidious intentions by suggesting players should be complacent just because I'm calling. Truly, I can call as much as I like, go in on the enemy as often as I can, but if the team isn't with me than I'm useless.

...

It's a team game. The more people that cordinate and cooperate, the higher chance they have of winning. I happen to be quite adept at facilitating these things.
Since you've mentioned several times about new callers being bad, I've started searching for those willing to be personally taught by some veteran callers, so I hope you look forward to it.

My only intention is to emphasize that being on your premade-dominated "team" makes my contribution largely irrelevant and consequently my enjoyment non-existent. I know others who feel the same. I'm also aware you have a fan club, and am sure your presence is a boon to those farming wins for achievements/rewards. For anyone interested in a balanced, competitive match, you are a nightmare.

I understand that if the other 20 of us didn't trail around after you like lemmings that this would cut into your win-rate, but frankly most of your conscripts are simply cannon fodder, absorbing the damage as you and your premade "scoot back a bit."

The weakness of many of the new callers has made me better appreciate your map awareness, but I certainly am not looking forward to Olivia clones further reducing FL to a pregame toss of a 3-sided die. Besides, since I assume they will be dutifully spamming your noisy macros, I'll be blacklisting them.

As an aside, SE we *really* need the ability to mute in instance. Olivia, I tried turning off system sounds, but I need to hear some sounds on the same channel like my LB ready ding.

Please look forward to it

That sounds like a threat. I'm resigned to it; you've made your intentions very clear. Only pop music and SE can save me now.

The only marking war I've gotten in has been for the chain1-3 icon. I like to use them to mark enemy DRKs to watch their moves. It's handy for when I am primed to Meteodrive them and disrupt their engage. But people also use those marks occasionally for dps focus as well, so I have to reapply them to track major players. No keyboard battles have happened over it, I just had to be more mindful of who had what.

Make sure you're not actually doing nothing ;-; winning is a team effort! My WR hangs around 60-70% and I die once or twice every few matches... though it's more from being greedy >.>

Eh, I wouldn't put much stock into my own contributions with or without you on the field, given I've gone some weeks with a dozen matches with maybe 1 win out of them all, lol.

Campaigns: 667
First Place: 215(Victory Rate: 32.2%)
Second Place: 231(Victory Rate: 34.6%)
Third Place: 218(Victory Rate: 32.6%)

Hell, my personal kill count only recently started going up/my deaths going down when I went MCH full time. Still doesn't mean my staying alive and taking people out (even key ones) made much of a difference in most matches though.

The stats you are supposed to have. My first place has never varied by more than a couple of tenths from 33.3% over 2000+ matches. Given that in the majority of my matches I have the best K/D/A for the job I play, it's clear that anyone with a 70%- win-rate is simply exploiting a (for now) legal loophole. And making the mode pointless for everyone else.

That's really not a lot of games. You still have lots of room to improve! And, when everyone is attacking together, the amount of damage that everyone needs to do goes down significantly. If all you can manage is a chain saw or a bioblaster into a pull before you run to safety that's a huge boon for the team!

Were you a cheerleader in college, Olivia? I have to say I admire this rah-rah positivity you spread, particularly in the face of the growing hostility to your playstyle. But you do seem to have a pleasing disposition. I see you baking bread in an Upper MidWest kitchen, trying to keep the cigarette ash out of the dough as you pound it into submission via coordinated LBs.

If I was who I am now maybe XD
No reason not to cheer on anyone who wants to improve.

A rare moment of concordance. I just hope your approach doesn't remove the will of others to improve.
