Bad Teammates


Urge

Recommended Posts

I remember when I first got the Duma i had some decent teammates.  Over the course of CoD they all disappeared.   What i've noticed was a growing number of terrible teammates being put on my squad.  Honestly, I'm not sure what is going on.  The skill level of my teammates is getting worse and worse as time goes on; to the point that I can't even win a game anymore.  It isn't every game as I have found quite a few excellent teammates outside of my geo.  But when it's just me playing solo or with even one of them; we are paired with the worst of the worst.

 

I guess I don't understand it since the game used to give me good teammates, but something has changed.  Perhaps something with the routers last update?  Shouldn't it be blocking bad teammates from being on my team?  Every other feature on the router works exactly as it should.  Getting great ping.  Congestion works.  ISP is crap at times, but that isn't the router.  Maybe my comcast is giving me bad teammates to throttle my win/lose ratio?

 

I would like to post a video on it but it probably needs to be experienced.  So Fraser, I would like a 1 on 1 please.

 

Actually it would be more of a 1 v 1.  I would like the opportunity to continuously quickscope you so that you'll see that i'm really a god-like player who never should die.    I realize  this may not prove that I have bad teammates.  So afterward i propose a 2 v 2 with you and I against Iain and Luke (if we can pull Iain out of hibernation).   Then those guys can see that while I admittedly suck at Halo - my teammate was actually worse.   Thanks for any help.

 

 

**Note - This post is entirely in jest.  There were no teammates harmed, though sometimes they do need a swift kick in the rear.

              Also a 1 on 1 isn't needed unless Fraser would like a friendly game of chess :P

You are not alone.  My son plays zombies on his account, but my nephew and his friends use it when they come over.   I play solo on his account every now and then to rank it up, unlock attachments, etc.  I was playing solo Domination this past weekend on his account (level 55 not prestiged).   I got into a lobby where there were only 1 other good player on the lobby.  I had the highest SPM and he was closely behind me.  For about 3 games, it kept putting him and I against each other.  We were getting 3+ k/d and high SPM.  ALL other 10 players were negative or grossly negative.  It was rotating players between games as well.

So basically you want me in the party not for what I bring to the table tactically or skill-wise, rather I'm just a blocker to make sure there is one less space for a thumbless scrote that will rack up 20+ deaths on the team?

 

I'm flattered, lol.

 

You're right though, I'm noticing that in solo games where I get scores like 24-3, my team is just scraping the win because of the two -20 players at the bottom.

I had one the other day that was 35-5 or so and my team still lost by more than 20 kills - yet the individuals on the other team only just about all broke even overall.

 

I checked my stats the other day, my KD is about 2 and my Win/Loss is under 1

Great thing is - we all bring the skill while at the same time scrub block.  It's a win win situation.

Oftentimes I wish there was a way to reach through the mic and grab the tosser team mate by the scruff of the neck and smash his face through his xbox for being so stupid. Especially the ones that think it's a good idea to lay on the floor in a high-traffic area or stand in doorways

I have to wonder though, do these people just NOT know there are tools out there that can help?  Are they legitimate casuals who pick up the game each year, play a few hours and then ADHD off to another game?  How can you CONSISTENTLY be THAT bad and still keep coming back to the game.

 

I admit.  I was a train wreck when I started playing and easily the anchor of the bottom of any lobby.  But getting stomped was enough for me to start doing a lot of research and game play watching.  I was watching 15-20 YT vids a day to try and learn the maps, learn the choke points, spawns and which weapons to use.  It became an all consuming passion.

 

Then again, it was an expensive "hobby" to get into, looking back......

No joke, I literally I skim read "terrible teammates" & "Fraser I would like a 1 on 1" and had to take a deep breath  :lol:

 

LOL.  Sorry Fraser.  Something had inspired me to make a satyrical post.  Didn't mean to give you a gray hair on top of it. :P
