I was playing the bomb defusal map on Legends PvP last night, and defused all 5 bombs myself, winning the map. However, when the results are displayed at the end, I was dead last, having done the least amount of damage... Can the devs add some sort of count to show how many bombs each player has defused? I realize it's an ego thing, but it felt weird looking like the most useless guy in the map when I actually won the game for my team, and I think adding an extra column of game data should be pretty easy for the devs... thoughts?
I did this three times yesterday. Last place every time. Two games I had zero damage. It's very misleading to other players (especially pug). Only one of those games I had a few guys lending support.
I was thinking the same thing... It gives new players and even experienced players the wrong idea that they need to just mindlessly fight instead of transporting the bomb. I'm usually the only one following the objective, single handedly winning the game for my team, but when the scoreboard shows up, I'm last place. Sounds like a no brainer to add the scoreboard feature.... But so are a lot if things that need to be done to this game.
The guy who gets in the mech isn't the only one who wins the match. Ideally, 1 guy will protect him, 1 guy will attack the enemy's mech, and last one can choose between looking for the bombs and what other 2 guys are doing. Pugs often do either of these without realizing, except when they just brawl in the middle for the duration of the match.
The only down side I see to this is that if everyone knows how to play these matches, it will be much harder to win. I think I prefer players to have the misunderstanding that they are contributing by fighting the NPCs and other random players. Those quick wins because the other team ignored your mech and did not even put on their own suit are sweet...
It was funny how many times a just ran right pass someone on the other team in my Mech suit and they didnt even give me a second look. Lol.
The absolute worst is when someone on your team highjacks the mechsuit and uses it as a battlesuit. Terrible.
This would be great, especially in PUG groups. I usually take the mechbot to defuse bombs and am deadlast on the scoreboard. And, for some reason (cough-immature gits-cough), I get called n00b and other things along that line because of it because they think that map is a deathmatch instance. I REALLY do hate it when they treat that map like a deathmatch battle.
You sir....are a hero for stating this.. How many times have I fought for 5 minutes straight after my teammate took the bot..and I'm killing their bot over an over to keep them from the bomb and I say: "Where's our guy at?". Then I type eventually "GET THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ". "Match Over: You Lose!"
