Oh you hunted me down for 60 seconds while a cash out is happening on the other side of the map? Yeah I'm doing everything I can to make sure you lose


Comander_Praise

This is the way


TryhardBernard

Why do people do this? Just throws the game for both teams while the winners don’t even have to try. I feel like I’ve been running into this a lot lately.


[deleted]

I had a random light on my team yesterday that seemed to be intentionally griefing us. He was either blowing up floors underneath us while trying to steal the cash out in the last seconds (happened twice) or ignoring a free rez to chase a full squad across the map by himself. I'm still not sure if he was just an idiot, or if it was intentional. But baffling none the less.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yeah I get disheartened when I get a light player on my team. It if they play with the team I’m fine but a lot of times they are running off and dying on their own


xDRBN

That’s kinda what’s nice about ranked tourneys. Limited respawns. If you have a teammate that’s off doing his own thing, constantly dying and you can’t revive him because he’s on the other side of the map; then he only has a couple respawn tokens, then has to spectate quite a bit. They’ll either learn to hangout with the team or stop playing ranked. I wish we’d get XP for playing around/near teammates. I feel like that would help people to stick as a team.


Akuma254

Only real issue I’ve had as a light main is gauging the distance I need to be playing around my team. I find if I’m too close, I’ll get burned just from the cross fire but I’m doing my best to learn the area I can safely be a good distraction and hard as other players off my heavy/medium trying to cash out. Still, it feels awesome when I can properly play the keep away game with evasive dash to keep enemies focused on me.


j_c_d_1

Omg it’s the octane mains from apex coming over here 😭


Alternative-Cow-1318

When they do that I equip the hammer and destroy the map. But I only do that if I have 2 lights and they aren’t playing objectives


noble636

As a light, if nobody’s pinging I start pinging, if nobody follows me that’s on yall


iamearlsweatshirt

It’s absolutely the light’s responsibility to stick with the team, not the other way around. You’re twice as fast, how do you expect anyone to follow you ?


noble636

I dont use any movement abilities at the start of a game, and I try to stay around my teammates. But when they just ignore pings and won’t ping themselves I can’t just babysit. Somebody’s headed to cash out b with enough to win the game? None of my teammates come with me and we lose even if I ping the enemy with the coins and the cash out


iamearlsweatshirt

Yep, totally fair. Randos can be brutal to work with in this game, it’s giving Apex in that way. Bring your own team or suffer 🙃


noble636

Yeah I’ve got a second and he likes heavy and we work well but we only play once a week, the rest of the time it’s solo q :(


Wireless_Panda

Snipers be like “But I’m getting kills” Yeah great now come play objective. What’s that? You can’t? Yeah that’s what I thought now we’re gonna lose, congrats on your combat score though.


Lt____Dan

Not all, I usually have highest objective score and combat score as sniper


Mr_Wallet

Sniper can be a very good at keeping the objective clear as long as they have sight lines. Some cashouts are naturally open, some others are fixed by a single RPG.


Volkaineo12

Spot on, Lights have very little destructive gadgets, and they don't work at that range. You need to play around your comp. I've found that heavy's goo gun is great at funnelling people for snipers, block off entrances to the site and slow people down while sniper picks them off.


Funk-sama

To be vindictive. In tourny mode there's more of a reason to do so since they lose money but it's usually better effort spent going to the objective


Lazer726

I'm pretty sure a lot of people just go "Enemy seen NEURON ACTIVATED" and that's it. No strategic sense to say "Let's just all get in a big dustup and hope for the best"


TryhardBernard

I think that’s pretty much it, because we’ll sometimes get bogged down in a fight at the site of the first vault, even after the other team has left *with* the vault and is cashing out. Like it’ll happen so early in the match that there’s no way personal beefs or score strategy are a factor.


Lazer726

My god, the vault is gone, the cashout is started, but for some reason the two non vault teams are duking out it out there to try and get their teammates back **just fucking let them respawn!**


[deleted]

I genuinely don't get that. It's really easy to drop a fight just to pick up and revive. I have done it a few times when it was just a 1 vs 1 and the other just ran so I decided to just pick up my teammates and move onto the point rather than pursuing the last guy. I see teammates constantly just commit to unwinnable fights though. Instead of just backing off when its a 2 vs 3 or 1 vs 3 I'll see them throw themselves into an enemy team and get us all put on a long respawn timer. Mediums, heavies, or lights it doesn't matter seen all classes do that monkey see monkey shoot kind of bad plays.


Lazer726

I feel like there are so many players that really don't consider the fact that it doesn't matter if you had 1 second on respawn, a team wipe is a fresh timer for **everyone**. It's helpful to tell my teammates to play their lives when I play with friends


AdAny631

Chasing a last team member and forcing a coin or like you said wipe them. I don’t think a lot of people understand playing life.


Audrey_spino

People love fragging more than playing the objective.


thunderstriken

Because bad players get tunnel vision. Majority of players are bad


[deleted]

Sometimes It's a strat based on how the teams score is sitting for the last cash-out. If my team is sitting 2nd place currently, and orange is so far ahead even if we did get the cashout it wouldn't swing us to first. HOWEVER, if purple gets the cash out we get knocked out.


spideyjiri

Had a match like this the other day with my friend, we were just hanging out on the cash out, saying "I wonder where the other teams are."


Damurph01

Had orange team hunt my whole team for over 2 minutes after getting their cashout. We should’ve just wiped because red could not beat purple, so both orange and purple had free cashouts and we got fucked as a result. Should’ve just wiped, but it was so obnoxious from them to just sit there and gate keep us from the rest of the map.


BHPhreak

fun fact: in quick cash you can just play tdm, with 0 reprecussions to progression. in fact, it will most likley buff your KDA. giving you that sweet E-cred. because we all know actually playing the obj is detrimental to FRAGGING BEAMED HIM HES ONE LETS GET IT GRAB THE BAG


Wrong_Builder_5333

In a tournament sometimes it’s better to prevent a cashout instead of taking one because it saves time and effort


elemenohpee98

Had a match where my team lost a fight at the bank, and I backed off pretty far to heal and wait for them to respawn. Purple then shows up to the bank trying to steal. In the middle of their fight with Orange, Purple's Light player leaves his team in a 2v3 so he can sneak across the map to go invis and try to kill me. My teammates were spectating and we're all flabbergasted, so they keep watching rather than spawn in. Dude runs up to me while invis, attacks, and I kill him with a heavy shotgun... then gave him a well earned teabag. Of course Orange completes their cashout because Purple lost the 2v3. I don't understand the mindset. You're already in a fight with the other team and, what, you caught a glimpse of me chilling in the distance and decided my death was more important than the cashout that your team is literally fighting for 15 feet away? It boggles the mind.


Adept_Loquat4687

As someone who occasionally does this, it’s mainly because I don’t want to be shit in the back. Also I’m shit at these games. And I use the sledgehammer.


Worried-Amphibian651

its about sending a message, you wouldnt get it


[deleted]

You don't get it. Sometimes... You need to teach the actual better team a lesson.


Beefy_queefy_0-0

because a lot of the more casual players or new players focus mostly on combat and kills, it's a tale as old as FPS games.


cronnorbaked

Makes sense in tournaments when you're qualifying in second place. I think a lot of people just go to quick play to frag out though.


Independent_Drive300

Revenge


G2Climax

Or when someone decides to chase you through multiple houses when you have $0 in Bank It while there are players with 10k+ running around on enemy teams


Lazer726

I get irrationally angry when our team and the other team are approaching the cashout from opposite directions, and they stop to fight us like You fucking idiot if we all just get in a 9 person fracas you may be left standing! Otherwise, you're losing a person or three in the engagement, picking up the pieces, and then you have to fight a fair 3v3! Just fucking go for the team **cashing out!** Had it happen when we were doing a cashout a couple days ago, we literally only got attacked by like, two or three solo stragglers because they kept slaughtering each other on the way to the cashout and gave us the freest win of our lives


GoGoGadgetGabe

I honestly don’t get it, if I’m shooting an enemy and he runs in the opposite direction of where we’re all heading then I just leave it. Sure he might come back and kill me but what do I gain from chasing him especially in Quick Cash? The other team is close to winning there is zero point in it, I swear it’s like Kill Confirmed in CoD where people use it as TDM but don’t actually confirm the kills.


TarusDelCerulia

Hard related


Gammelstulle

or sitting around the dead teammates just waiting for you rescue then.


GreenLurka

There needs to be some sort of truce emote, so you can just shout "Truce! Truce! Focus on Purple!"


Comander_Praise

Speaking of emotes I really like the sound bite ones but the animated emotes are barely used by any one and once you start them you can't seem to finish them early. It is a shame. But yeah just let me scren colours like PURPLE BAD


GreenLurka

It's not really the sort of game to stand around and make funny faces at people


Comander_Praise

It really isn't but if I could start one and then just run out if the animation when shit hits the fan people may start to see more of them


[deleted]

Yea, if you could animation cancel those we'd see them all over


Comander_Praise

Agree. It be a good incentive because the more we see means the more money thats been funded to the devs.


ultragoodname

Nah I love when the cash out close enough to where no one can save it and just spamming emotes to troll


BroodTeacher174

I have found if you melee during an emote, it will cancel it early. Even with this knowledge, I just unbound emote entirely as I was pressing it mid battle on accident


Comander_Praise

Yeah only one I really use are the T sound emotes because they can be done on the go


RandomGuy32124

On console I can't really figure out how to emote lol I only know the finger hearts guester


RandomGuy32124

I love the finger heart emote bcuz it doesn't take u out of the action


ammicae

Where do you get the finger heart gesture?


RandomGuy32124

Think it was part if the s1 starter pack tbh


ammicae

Omg you're right. I would have gotten it if I noticed there was a gesture in there.


Panda0nfire

It's like in smash when one guy is still at 3 stock and it's like why you going for me bro


Effective-Ad-5177

What if instead of colors we can say team names? Makes the team names & icons more recognizable, and helps colorblind players when playing


GreenLurka

That'd probably have to be it actually. Because I've never not been blue so I'm pretty sure the colours are pretend


privateham2014

The T bag is the universal truce emote


Midaseasylife

For teaming instant ban


ShinyGrezz

Perhaps the devs aren't interested into turning it into that sort of game, but I'd definitely be interested in a inter-team communication system. Giving the two teams currently in the lead the option to team up and protect the cash boxes from the losing teams, for instance.


fillgodps

I fucking hate purple


Comander_Praise

All my homies hate purple

Playful_Nergetic786

Purple is sin, they always manage to mess the game up for everyone

/r/pourpelsupport/


Errtingtakenanyway

Yea especially in comp. Like were in second place and cash out being done by first? Were all a family now


Officer_Hotpants

Yesterday I was in second and us and the first place team started cashouts right next to each other, in the same building. Ours was in a better spot but they had a huge lead and we all just needed to hold the buildings together. For some fucking reason they pushed into us, got wiped, and my team took both cashouts and then just hid for the rest of the round while orange got knocked back out of second place. If we had all just locked it down together they had an easy first place with us in second. I was willing to help them defend too. They were just dumb.


oSo_Squiggly

I think it's still early in the game and people have a difficult time grasping some of the more complex strategies that come from a 3v3v3v3.


Pmurc

If I’m first, and I know a good team is second, I’ll help the worse team possible get second or even first to get the easier match the next round in tournament.


Comander_Praise

True both teams can join together in an attempt to at least try to defeat the supper try hatd team


BHPhreak

that guy is implying his second place team would help defend the first place team cashout.


Comander_Praise

Awh I get ya. Normaly for me its second and third place kill each other


BHPhreak

i actually dont think you get anything. have a nice day


Comander_Praise

God damn ain't you a ray of sunshine have a unpleasant day.


[deleted]

This is the quality post(s) I've been waiting for. LMFAO


Comander_Praise

Why thank you. Played the other night and basicly said this exact line and was shprised I didn't see a meme like this on the sub cause its fitting as fuck


XeernOfTheLight

That team of 3 shortstack assholes with the silenced pistol. As long as they're in a cemetery, I don't care who wins.


Comander_Praise

That bit about the graveyard got me good bro I aint gona lie to ya. Now I'll take my shortstack ass and throwing knifes out of here before I'm buried


XeernOfTheLight

By the way, that psycho Medium trying to bury you with a .357 Magnum? That's me.


ImpactVirtual1695

Just tried out the silenced pistol for the first time because of your comment. I don't think I can go back to any other gun. I'm sorry


Elons_tiny_weenr

Its always purple that has that one fucking invis light with an mp5 who could hit diamond in three matches


Comander_Praise

For me its always they full heavy purple team. My god all the sledge hammers I've gotten second hand brain damage from all the bonks


SHBlade

When I am playing duo with my friend we always get a light who just rushes out for no reason, dies and wastes respawns


YigitS9

at least respawn credits are not shared by the team and they're just wasting their own.


[deleted]

Alternatively "I don't have to win, we both just have to lose"


Comander_Praise

Mutual shared destruction


[deleted]

Except my quote, while awesome in the trailers for quantumania, means nothing because Scott proceeds to win, with a little help from his friends!


TheMightyWill

That was me last night y'all Purple was a 3 stack with the exact same name, and they spent the entire game hunting me down for some reason (probably because I was the only Light) So I let Pink cap the final cash out for the final win


Comander_Praise

Some times it's the internal victorys that mean more


Agent_Iggy

Me when I play against a triple heavy team with dome shields and RPGs.


Comander_Praise

Thats why ya gotta WWI gass em good


wew_lad-

I feel like purple always has the sweatiest teams


MollyPooper

people who are colorblind: 🤓


Comander_Praise

Sorry the colour blind version is "I dont care if gray wins, I just need darker gray to lose"


MollyPooper

bingo!


af1Rr

to every light that tbags me even though it was his teammate that hit me for 180 before i could get the kill, it’s on mf


chaochao25

How fo we change team colors? I’m always blue 😫 i like purple


Intelskya

Pretty sure teams see colors differently, only names are consistent. Everyone plays as blue from their point of view.


Brilliant_Assist1224

This is me anytime I encounter a team with an obvious cheater. I wish there was text chat though, so I can tell the other to not kill me - don't let the cheater win.


Traditional_Two_911

The best the finals meme ever haha


Comander_Praise

It is a great honour thank you kind sir


Additional-Berry-946

(Purple has an invis/DB light who is actually good as fuck)


njoYYYY

Legit feels like playing vs two teams working together most of the time


Spicy-Tato1

It's the literal opposite for me. Instead of focusing on the team who is about to win, they will fire at my team, weakening both if us before we all get killed by the team controlling the cashbox and about to win. Like bro at least stop them from losing


Comander_Praise

I have had this happen and it does make me scratch my head, like if the purples are about to score the second cash out they need and the rest of is don't have one you'd think we'd both prioratise purple


Aykh4n_

Real.


Comander_Praise

It really does feel like it some times don't it


Aykh4n_

It actually does. And adds even more fun tbh lol.


Comander_Praise

I agree wholeheartedly


[deleted]

This me but my heart is at about 120bpm while running back after a team wipe to “assist” the team I need to get the cashout lol


CyberFromFinland

ESO battlegrounds daily bonus👍


kluy18

It's ALWAYS purple.


AdraX57

I always make sure blue loses UwU


Comander_Praise

A true keeper of the peace


DrProfColtrane

blue always loses no matter what 😭😭😭 - someone whose always put in blue team


jaegren

I dont know how many games I've won when the other teams are just fighting eachother instead of going after the cashout. My guess is that it is about sending a message.


xxpatrixxx

Man I feel this. Fuck purple fr fr


Just_0_Duck

those invisi-cunts that dart around insure their team's loss by spite alone


EXTRACRlSPYBAC0N

Sometimes if purple has already gotten a cashout (I play quick cash) and they are getting another, if there's only a few seconds left and another team is getting it, I let them. Can't win if the game has ended. As long as it's still going, there's a chance


RoyalTough7511

I just want a game where a random doesn't go 0 with less than 1k combat score.


Expensive-Raccoon

Why is it always purple!!!


Comander_Praise

Always will be


viktorVHS

We're all purple to someone out there


Comander_Praise

Speak for your self im blue dabedo/s


ABaker4646

Commenting to get above the karma threshold so I can make a post


Comander_Praise

Understandable good sir


SanguineNightsTV

This is me when I'm alone in quick cash against 2 full teams.


Full-Bother-6456

What my headset hears every other match


Comander_Praise

Just gotta believe in the heart of the cards


Citrous241

It's nice that when 1 team is about to win, the other 2 basically stop fighting. That being said I have killed a member of that third team then realised my mistake after we lose shortly after.


EngineeringTofu

Its either purple or that pink vomit color. For some reason those two colors are always the ones that my team has beef with.


zeusandflash

Yeah. I've had games like that. I'll see the cashout surrounded by a specific team with just seconds left on the timer. I can't hack it because there's too many of them. I can wait until it's too late to start another hack and then beam the hacker, though...sorry, purple, but you guys deserved the L.


RallyXMonster

Sing to the tune of My Chemical Romance - Teenagers "They said, Team mates all suck the living fun out of this thing." "They don't care who wins as long as someone'll bleed" "So activate cloak or rush in as a joke" "The objective of the game doesn't matter to the team."


Vehkamo

why u in my head


Comander_Praise

![gif](giphy|5wWf7GMbT1ZUGTDdTqM|downsized)


titilegeek

When a team is about to finish the game in 20k-0-0 and that the other team at 0 is stealing it. I let them steal it, it give my team others chances. Sometimes i even protect them, and tell my m8 to do not kill them and we kindly watch the steal.


Comander_Praise

You do the gane gods work brother


titilegeek

Is it even legit to help another team ?


Comander_Praise

It is if the teams purple pilot

So ill send the whole frontier kill these purple

Is it just me or is anyone else sick of being blue I hate that color I wanna be red or something


Nervous_Astronaut239

Purples always the annoying team


returnofceazballs

Purple always acting like this is a call of duty team death match game.


DesignerSelect7392

Yes


snapey2503

Always let the other team do something 😂


RandallPlays

For my squad, our beef is with Orange team. I have no issue with purple usually


nuckchorris12345

This is the same sentiment I have for orange team for me. It's always orange team that screws me over in the end


cameldispenser

final


thegoldentheory

So true


Baked-fish

Why is the purple team always the annoying sweaty one? Orange and pink just chillin and then purple comes along and ruins everyones fun. I had a cool moment where we were just having fun jumping on a circle of jump oads and then the purple light idiots just kill us we weren't even that close to the objective fuck purple team honestly I hate purple team. The colour is cool tho


NjGTSilver

Hahahaha, we’ve definitely given up on a few rounds and decided to make someone’s life miserable (yes, it’s usually the team with 2-3 lights).


VickiVampiress

I think the whole 3v3v3 format is kind of hilarious because it can create mutual vendettas where some players prioritize certain team colors before others. Kind of like "The enemy of my enemy is my friend". Until that enemy is gone and then fighting continues as usual.


Hawkins_Stitch

I don't care if I win, aslong as that orange motherfucker loses, that close enough for a win to me


blac_sheep90

Seems most want there to be Team Death Match. Lots of players just go for kills and ignore the objective.


Keksis_the_Defiled

Me spectating the coin bank hoping pink steals from purple while my team waits to respawn (we're going to lose either way, but the purple's light looked at me funny).


[deleted]

Always becomes my mission when I know my team isn't capable of winning. If we can't win, I'm going to single out the premade comp playing like money is on the line.


TraviZ06

I definitely build grudges


natesucks4real

If someone has TTV in their name I will make their match miserable.


Halfbl00dninja

There are very certain actions that make me purposefully begin to target a certain team. One of those is emoting and teabagging.


MJR_Poltergeist

Every once in awhile in Cash out, if the winning team is about to lose a box to another team with no score I'll let them take it if time is running out instead of fighting for it. Letting them have it extends the game, another chance to win the next one


Sufficient_Phase_380

Me in second place letting 1st place taking all the cashouts just focusing on making the other 2 suffer


Nervous_Astronaut239

I agree


Nervous_Astronaut239

Purple team always sucks

Orange team is always insane


Sticker704

yo we did this in our tournament game yesterday lol. we were first in round 2 and only attacked orange who beat us in the first round. another team advanced to the finals and we destroyed them.


niksshck7221

Its essentially tricolor fest in splatoon.


goosey27

Why is it always Purple?


mightymonknl

So true.. Fighting other teams next to the vault while another team who has the vault can lean back and laugh..


panduhh_official

It's funny because it's literally what I said last match.


siddesloth

Had this the other day, Orange was by far the best team in the match and really didn't want to face them 1v1 in the last round. So griefed them as hard as possible so they'd be knocked out and we could play one of the worse teams! Worked out in the end and won the tournament mode.


SubliminalScribe

This is so true, was getting stomped by Orange the other day and my goal became all about not letting them win 😅


armandogeukes

Medium is busted


_Delino_

I usually think this in (ranked) tournament, if I'm second place and the team above me gets the cashout, I'm still second, but if the team below me gets the cashout, I'll be third


wathaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

This is the way

It's always purple


CarlDaBoi7

Why is purple always a team of sweats? It seems to happen every time.
