So, You Left the Game Because Your Team Was Losing. Ya Know What You Are?

Yeah. You're a jerkass. And that's the politest term I can use on the forum, where I am determined to try always to be poilte. I understand nobody likes to lose. And I understand the frustration that is engendered when you are performing well, and others on your team are having an off day. But understand that a game is A GAME, with winners and losers. If you don't want to risk your team losing, don't play PvP, go play the Strikes playlist, or go patrolling. One team wins, one team loses, is how it is. Your teammates don't feel any better about going 2 for 10 than you feel about it. It is not like they are standing there dancing in a corner so your opponents can gun them down for the points, or sparrow surfing through the arena (unless that IS what they're doing, in which case, feel free to quit- my rant doesn't apply to you); they are fighting for their lives, and having their teammate bail out on them is only going to make them feel worse. What's more, you are being a fool to yourself. You already fought through a lot of the match, and now you gave up on the Marks and possible rewards that come at the end of it. Why? Why quit? Why not keep fighting and maybe snatch victory from the jaws of defeat? If nothing else, just take satisfaction from being the best in the match, even if your team loses. Quit quitting, ya big quitter.

  • Idk why people care so much about winning or losing on this game. It's not like there's a ranking system or anything, just get the marks and rep at the end. Despite having at least 30% of my team's total score most of the time when I'm not playing with friends I lose the majority of my games. If I quit every time I started losing I wouldn't be completing much matches by myself.
