If you want to get achievements related to newbies, you should be able TO CHOOSE IT, FFS.
I'm not a veteran, and I understand that some players don't know literally everything.
But goddammit, please. I felt games were more balanced, and I had much more fun of them BEFORE 1.3.8 patch.
Honestly today was the first day since some time I had literally a REALLY good time, cause I got aboard with really nice crew ( waffleghost, rinntaq and kill me, but I forgot the last one - I'm sorry ). Not because they are good (well, ok, it is that too) but also because they are funny guys and like to goofy around ( 1: I'll shoot some mines at our ally 2: Remember to make it look like an accident 1: Oh, well, it is an accident.) but when it comes to fight, suddenly everything is in one, proper place.
When you play with players with average of levels below 15 you sometimes wanna cut yourself.
Honestly, FFS. Guys goes on helm, when he is an engie, and does some seriously screwed up shit.
I tried at least to ask him, to get me some angles for mercury. PFFFF. Right, funny shit. Welp, no.
Then, in the middle of deepest shit, he suddenly left helm! Only to rush down for heavy flak that was ought to be manned by MrDisaster, BUT GUESS WHAT. He was doing that idiot work, BECAUSE HE GOT US IN SOME SERIOUS CRAP.
I'm still against votekick, but I swear I had serious doubts watching that bastard. It just can't be even the special kind of stupidity. However I'd rather solve this by some solution to shoot that guy in the head in real life.
How about giving players ability to choose range of levels to play with, and basic on that assemble lobbies? I mean - our level is 22, and we set that indicator to, let's say, 12. It means we wanna play with players levels 10-34. However I just got this idea, and it's like 3:30 AM around here, so I didn't think about this too hard.
