So You Lost The Match

<< < (4/7) > >>

GreyTea:
I always blame myself, or find a way to as follows

If the crew are doing a bad job-i never explained the build or what they are doing properly,or took an easier build for them to run with.

Lag-i should be playing on a server close to me and have stable internet to play otherwise i am a hindrance to the team, if i can not resolve i should of looked to feedback for support

Team mate- i should communicate more whether it be text or voice, if he doesn't know where to go or rushes in i should be close by to aid or defend

The other team- i am not sure how to blame the other team for me losing seriously, i get that sometimes people are just straight up better builds crew experience but then it is still my fault for not being as good :)

However there are occasions where say servers are down for lag issues out of your control or instead of a new crew they are a troll, but average game the above applies at least to me personally and i strive to make myself better its how we learn :)

Sometimes you can safely blame your ally (I had a fun match one time in CP - my ally galleon would fly through the center of the map, fire a hwacha barrage, then continue on out of the point while laughing in captain chat and shouting that he was shooting lions in my face. With about 100 seconds left, my pleas for help finally made him realize that captain chat was for allies to talk, not for him to talk to the enemy).

Sometimes you can blame your crew. Certain necessary roles are apparently still too complicated sometimes. Such as the gunner staying on the gun pointed at the enemy...

Sometimes you can blame the enemy. I have played matches against extremely good players and teams, and there are times when it isn't really anything you did, but what they did better.

But mostly you have to blame yourself. Most matches I lose, I come out of it knowing exactly what I did wrong. Re-watching some competitive matches, I face-palm knowing how badly I screwed up a situation that my team should have had the upper hand. But it happens. :)

Rainer Zu Fall:
First of all, sorry to say that, but I personally dont see a point in that poll as you can't give a general answer to that, so I won't answer the poll.

Furthermore it is either you, your crew, both or the communication between you just happened to be not working (different languages/technical issues/whatever).
[Also, you don't "lose a match as a pilot" as the title says, but you lose a match as a crew and as a team.]

Lose a match while playing as a pilot.

I think this is an interesting question. Look at it from the other side. When you win a match [while playing] as a pilot, whose fault is it?

If you take all the blame for a loss, then you are implying that your opponent did not earn their win, that you gave it to them. While this is sometimes the case, there are other times where you deserve credit for winning a match. If all the blame for losing is placed on the loser, does that lessen the credit for winning?

I don't think this question has any end goal, or resolution. I think it is a good way to make you reconsider the blame you place on yourself, your teammates, and your opponent. I think we can all be too hard on each other and ourselves. While you should recognize your shortcomings, you should also be willing to say that you have simply been outclassed.

Surette:
I can't really tell if this is meant to be a serious thread or not. If it's a joke, well, carry on I guess. If it's meant to be taken seriously, frankly you're a pretty bad pilot if you can honestly say you blame one of these things every time you lose. A huge variety of factors go into any win or loss, and even on a case-by-case basis it's nearly impossible to pinpoint just one reason for a particular outcome.
