not a mission i like a lot, i usually antag as shae or konst, and shae is good for me on this mission.
i tried it with lycus too. it works. lycus is often cool as antag, and his "invisibility card" can help.

but alicia or harec can do great job there too. not in my hands btw, but... for people used to play them, they can be cool here.

and i never saw it until now, but an aneska or a valeria who could invade and then keep the aleph/extraction zone may be annoying.

Why is it that I am forced to carry every goddamn match

i really doubt that.
especially when just before you said :

is it my fault the developers have such a shitty matchmaking system that it puts me a tier 1 purple with 3 newbies and an antag?

it rings more like "bouhou lets quit it will be too hard", than "ok rookies, look at me and walk in my steps !"

Ok sure I was a dick there but come on an online game with no chat? That just makes no sense.

well, it makes no sens for you and people who want a chat.
for others it's not really a problem. or at least it is a problem which can have others solutions than ingame chat... ^^
and it changes nothing to the fact mentionned : in the end you are acting exactly the same way they seem to do.

Some for in game chat some against. Im in against camp so idk about who you talking about sonofz.

i was talking to tekato =)

yeah yeah i know its about ignis nerf and not about stalk spam. but stalk  spam a bit harder cause it can be countered by timed grab so we a bit split on it. also this one i did some time ago and im a bit lazy to go and find votes for cooldown on stalk.

i'm still sure that the real problem with harec, more than the lack of cooldown, is, it's really hard to kill him while in stalk form, because he's just auto sent back to his body...
the auto send should desappear, just lets manual one, and his stalk form should be his body... so you see him and shoot him before he headshots you ? you kill it.

no need to cooldown, so good harec will still move everywhere as hell and HS people in a flash, and the character keeps his cool gameplay, but this stupid immunity thing who makes you have to be 2 and/or find his body first to fight him will desappear. and that would be a good thing imo.

First step should be fixing the latency issues and solving the CQC system problems.

wich mission was it ?

As a tier 6 Hive I have to relay on the plague and its fart cloud for CQC outside of that I am fucked.

as any hive of any lvl.
truly effective hive i have encounter find their strenght in contamination and for a good one, plague is usually used.

rak can be a problem at any lvl if you don't have the good characters/weapons to counter him. lot of his weapons can melt a foe pretty quickly regardless of the lvl.

you can't really consider you a rank 6...
you have knowledge of the game, and it can make the difference. well, obviously less difference than being OS by a punch of course 

but believe me, even is they are  few, there is low rank who can handle high ranks. wich is not so surprising when you see how so much high ranks are bad.

yes, they should remove pvp bonus, but... people would not stand to be beaten by noobs whereas they are lvl35635 but are still unable to adapt cqc...

had a hans player who was purple tier 1 just camp at the spawn door and kill us one by one as we spawned.

yup, i do it with konstantin, hive or even shae when i can.
it can be an effiocient way to bash somes lives quickly.
especialy when they spawn back one by one or when team mates are blind and you can kill the 2 poor same lads again and again while the 2 others are running like happy magic unicorns across the field... 

I am a max tier player who started over on steam. I am not just some new player

from what i see that's not proof of anything in this game. but that's not the subject.

She killed us all and then placed her orb directly in front of the hallway that our spawn point is on while the Valeria hid behind the crates behind her bridge. There was no way to leave spawn

what about the incibility time ?
i don't know where she put it exactly, but when you respawn you should have enough time to run out of portal effect.

That is very problematic, I've had my fair share of new players on the team getting destroyed by a high level antagonist. it's the kind of thing that does frustrate you/me. but i like to think that one team can gang up on the antagonist. circle around stealthy while drawing the antagonists attention to one or two other players.  i like to call the raptor set up,  two ay the side,  that antagonist won't see until it's too late.

exactly
