Kinda self-explanatory. What things to do you find yourself doing often in LD?

For me, it's usually going after capture points and only staying for a few games.

I've played so much Striker, doing a 360 when shield cancelling to optimise my boost usage and speed is a habit I have in both PvE and as other classes in LD. Of course, it's not visible as Recon but I can imagine it's rather interesting to see when I play Guardian.

I don't scream about Auto-Target or UVs enough. I should be doing it every single time I die rather than never.

Also, I'm not actually here.

- I spin around when starting a charge or going into cloak. shaddaaaap I'm fancy X/
- I change directions when I get hit. I need to stop doing this automatically.

Whenever I shield cancel a striker, I often relocate by doing a small circular move. To optimise the speed and boost usage, I follow said movement by following with the direction I look in. This is useful for strikers but it's quite worthless as Guardian or Recon, or in PvE.

Some things I'm annoyed at myself for doing:

-My fingers move faster than what I'm able to do with Aussie lag, no ASI, no Gamemaster Superspeed and a normal mouse. I'm saving up for a proper gaming mouse but that doesn't really help my lag issues.
-Like a lot of other people, I spin around after attacking. This is bad because like I said above, if I'm faster than I am on screen, I wil lend up swinging while in the middle of spinning and miss. I don't even get the logic about spinning, am I trying to do a 360º no scope or something?
-I've been able to stop complaining about everything in LD recently, it's painful but it's better than being a pain in the a**. Anyway, that's what I used to do back in the day.

Some things I'm proud of doing:

-Relying on Valiance. Valiance is love. Valiance is life.
-Being a lagger. It puts me in a position to laugh at people's petty issues when I know that half of then can't do crap with my connection regardless of their gloating.

I like to do a little victory dance after a long fight that was otherwise against me in favor.
I got out of my way to put my finger on the touch-pad to do little twirls while running and charging bombs. It's gotten me killed quite a number of times.
Sword, Gun, Sword, Other. That's how I like my loadouts, and I get all futzed up if I have it any other way.
I get quite salty when it comes to imbalanced teams, whether against me or with me. Whoops!

Warming up for a game or two, playing for about half an hour to an hour getting like 10-12k avg(T3) before getting inevitably getting placed in a game where at least half the players massively either outgear, outskill, out-think, or out-spam me and I get frustrated and play one or two games while raging and do poorly before finally ragequitting.

Also sometimes I talk too much.
