"I couldn't cap anything." - My loadout fails to find ways around area denial.
"He was using AA." - I am not interested in reflecting on my losses.
"It was a 3v1." - I can't think on my feet and have failed to find a way out of anything other than a 1v1.
"I wasn't trying that game." - I haven't practiced thoroughly.
"Atleast I'm not cheap/using meta gear/being a copycat." - I am unwilling to adapt my strategy to the evolving game due to a personal code of morals that are not acknowledged in the rules.
"I prefer to be original." - I am afraid of what losing a 1v1 implies about my level of skill, so I will cling to an unoccupied niche and claim this niche as my defense against any and all accusations against my ability.
"I play for fun." - I am willing to redefine a word in order to seize a nonexistant moral high ground in the face of failure.
"You're pay to win." - I am rejecting the fact I've lost because I haven't put the effort in to get better gear.
"We were camped." - I have failed to take counter measures against this tactic.
"I had to carry." - In the face of defeat I blame the loss on my teammates who had nothing to do with my own personal level of skill.

So is the point of this read to add to the list, or argue with it? Because I can do the arguing one.

It's a free world.

If you wan't to argue over these points and try to defend such excuses, go right ahead.

/shrug LD isn't my life

I don't use trinkets mainly because I'm too lazy to craft them, LD isn't my life, I have other stuff to craft, saving CR/CE for the gunner update and future SL expeditions.

But mostly because I don't need them in PVE so I never get any slots.

Yet I can still pull an average of 9k damage and respectable caps when I do play LD.

(insert excuse of choice) - I'm butthurt, and I want people to know it, but I don't want to sound like I'm butthurt so I'll express it in a non-explicit way.

What is a counter measure

What is a counter measure against spawn-camping? I don't know any.

By the way, here is an excuse to add to the list.
"I suck at lockdown" - I suck at lockdown.

I really suck at lockdown. That is a fact. But it doesn't matter!

@Pery Countermeasures to

@Pery

Countermeasures to spawncamping arent necessary.

Either your team is good enough where they actually put up a fight and are competent, or they arent good enough.

If you are being spawncamped by epic-AT-Ping-Knights, then what you gotta do is chip away at them, and run out and tbag if you get a kill.
