Biggest pet peeves running offense

[csnafk]

What are you biggest annoyances on offense? Over the last few days of playing I came to a realization of what my biggest honest hatred is of running offense and was wondering what the rest of you guys think.

Mine? Getting shot from my own base when I'm middle with the flag. Swear to God I can't count the amount of times I'm running backwards and I just got a key double or multi or monster out of the base and I'm just shitting on everything that particular run and all the stars have lined up for a movie type flag run and suddenly I get shot in the ass from my own side. Literally punched my water bottle 6 feet across the room last week when it happened.

sorry csn, that was prolly me

[csnafk]

Probably. You are quite the ass man, my friend

cherry picking and covering

my pet peeves? jesus where do i begin...

top 5 might be
-Cheaters/horrible admins
-People complaining that i'm playing like a faggot when it's just good ctf; did i shoot you in middle? ya because my D is dying with 2 in the base bout to grab. Did I fallback on the flagcarrier? ya i did, because the D got ran over and I'm not letting you cap that easily. Did you shoot me 4 times in middle? well I just spawned in the base and I'm gonna kill ya. Are you sitting in our base DM'ing for over 40 seconds? yup, good time to clear the base.
-people that give up completely after being down a cap or 2.
-people that whine about maps and/or sub out.
-people/foreigners that have horrible comms. you grabbed the flag 10 seconds ago, where the hell are u going.... our flag was grabbed 10 seconds ago, where the hell is it....

- people whining and bitching a tonne
- certain people expecting 'lesser players' to be all stars and not make mistakes, then yelling at them, either stfu or just give some advice !

- complaining
- (while running the flag) boosting or rushing me, or 'mates looking at me instead of covering
- (while in enemy base with team mates) if you're closer to the flag, fucking grab it. I'm going to be in the optimal place to cover you, run and gun.
- (while in enemy base with no team mates) >2 people shooting at me.
- wrong comms (much worse than no comms)
- diamond sword
- when I miss shots
- defense not covering the fc

my cynicism makes me a fairly forgiving team mate because I always assume you're going to miss.

Well I'm always offense. I die on the inside when the EFC is going into their base and someone on my team grabs the flag (spark of hope), only to cluelessly say, "I'm going the way that the EFC and army of players are coming into the base." "Oh I'm dead."

[Carras]

so specifically on flag running, it's when my teammate boosts me OR blocks me in a tight space and I die from it.

[torch]

probably the other offense moving backwards trying to kill me in middle. literally moving away from our base. probably hurting them more than me, but still annoying for me.

people being nigs in middle so when i run into the base there in 4 people spawning on top of me trying to grab.

play defense 99% of the time so i'm hijacking your thread csn.

defense whines-

d calls out a specific person being trouble, somebody kill person and says nothing so d stands there looking for him or waiting instead of getting back into position.

people not using ghostcam, i know people can't see everything, but you can usually tell where they are heading using ghostcam (sometimes this backfires however)

people that play positions like low d on duku, or generally any position that is on/around the flag with a more dm position running around in mid for no reason.

putting me defense after i lagged out of ts 5 times in 2 minutes before the map starts, then crying about defenders.

-nomics
-unwanted boosting
-on offense - when fc runs away from cover or if you are about to sneak into a base and some jackass comes in the same way you are shooting all over and ruining your plan.
-on defense - when the offense whines about the defense when lack of offensive pressure can be the cause of the problem (see delux)

When the opposing offense is wearing the same skin as the defense who is playing in the middle; and expects you to differentiate who is who. I mean, I'll probably shoot you anyways, it just makes my decision that much easier.

[IJ``]

- when ppl doesnt follow the flag or doesnt understand whats going on - solution = suicide, use comms, follow FC, or check the flag indication on bottom right

-when the flag runner start to battle a 1v1 when he could just run to make the cover shot easy

- when the offense ppl doenst get that most of defender wait until you dodge to make the shot, or they dont understand that defenders make mistakes when you apply some pressure on them... ( by leaving the base )

my offense pet peeve...
when I DO . play offense which is rarely but more often lately cus I suck


my pet peeve are the following
getting boosted to hard which causes me to hit walls hard and not get a cap
not getting covered so I run backwards dodging trying to kill people looking like an idiot and easy to hit.
Finally getting the flag to the base mutliple times with multikills etc.. and then get denied at flagpost cus d fails without miracle on d.

ZP bugs
Pingrape
Having to adapt playstyle to accommodate the above
EC2
People picking Acrony because they know I can't move my mouse on it
A bug where every minute my game's fps drops to 20 for 2 seconds which fucks me up
Cheaters
Endless cycle: Can't hit -> Get bored -> Get annoyed -> Can't hit even more and so fourth
Backshooting
Chasing
Lucky spawns (60% of the map on average (that, I'm not kidding about))
Getting blocked
Unwanted boosting
Nomics

Ya.

[InfamousRaider]

[PACO]

People have different definitions of lucky spawns. I feel like if someone spawns on me 4+ times, it's lucky. If I get telefragged or they spawn within a few mm right after i kill them, it's lucky.

Running O on scandi or a similar map and crossing mid, about to go in a door only to be shot in the back from your own side by the guy you passed not 5 seconds earlier. Total pot shot in the ass and it will make me play like Carras that much quicker

Constant fallback by the winning team when the score is like 5-0..just bad sportsmanship even if you are gunning for a shut out.

I noticed in matches EVERYONE plays like a fucking douchebag. It's like the reincarnation of pub-style play for a match, which is completely backasswards IMO.
