"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.
Lockdown Excuses~
If you wan't to argue over these points and try to defend such excuses, go right ahead.
"Personally, I prefer the air." - I'm a bird who knows how to speak English.
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.
"My AT locked onto the Rock Jelly"
"My mouse died" - I forget to feed my pets because I play LD way too much
"Look at me mom, I'm a walrus" - Aberdeen angus with mad cow disease
(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.
"im lagging"-i dont want the bear the shame of getting my clone butt stunlocked by a recon's callahan with good connection
got that one yesterday from the one guy who didn't flat out flee the battle when stunned
"I love being a clone to win all my LD matches!"
-Someone with no life
"I won a lockdown match, even though I'm the worst player in lockdown."
-Me, Pery-Alaois
"/sigh" - The enemy spawncamps.
"You rely on shock/shock nub" - only some game mechanics are okay by my arbitrary rules.
"/yawn after winning" - I'm too good for anyone or this game, give me attention.
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 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.
My Biohazard is bugged....
Blame the game because you don't take time to read patch notes
So is the point of this read to add to the list, or argue with it? Because I can do the arguing one.
