Bad players in MvM (feel free to add your experiences)

[omgeveryone9]

This is not about bad classes, but about horrible players that are playing at the wrong difficulty.

Because of my winter break, I had a lot of time on my hands to play mvm, specifically on the new bigrock map. However, many time I have been plagued with bad players. And if you guys were wondering, this was not on expert level but on Intermediate... AND NORMAL boot camp.

Here are some examples of what I have experienced:
1: Playing on Decoy as a Heavy, there was an engineer (and later 2 engineers) who DID NOT PLACE THEIR TELEPORTER. Their dispenser was next to the sentry spot in a quite inaccessible location (the balcony of a building that took 15 seconds just to get there). Many times I had died or wasted time because there was no source of health/ammo. And I had to walk my way to the front line. Luckily it was only wave 5, so I did not have to endure long.

2: I was playing Coal Town right after I finished another mission, and I joined a server where I was midway at a wave as an engineer. I was an engineer and we failed that round, but then we succeeded the next one miraculously. On the third wave we were against a tank. I was on tank destroying duty, but my team forgot that other robots will always come with a tank, so we failed it. I tried many different tactics, but my team never really realized that someone had to take care of the scouts, and It can not be am engineer without a wrangler.

3: This is a summary of what I experience on 50% of the BIgrock games I play. There are no Engineers, and when there are they either put no teleporter or place the exit near a sentry nest near the spawn. Everyone melees each other, and occasionally a soldier or demoman kills himself. There is always a person who contributes nothing, a kid from Eastern Europe who lacks skill (I live in Europe). And there is bound to be noone who collects the money but me, even if I am a heavy.

to compare that to me I am a F2P who clocked in 100 hours and mains Pyro, Engi, and Heavy in MvM. Feel free to respond and/or add in your bad experiences with bad players.

Some kid charges giants on expert with phlog.
Dies instantly.
Complains to the others about how WE'RE terrible.
Tries to votekick our buff banner soldier.

Some kid who went Scout upon joining(I was playing Scout already) in advanced mode and instead of getting the money tried to attack the tank with a bat. He blames us for not getting the money and tries to start an argument with me by cursing at me and using juvenile insults. I mute him, and he ragequits when he realizes I'm not responding to him anymore(I wasn't arguing with him mind you, I was just telling him to get the money and that I was not going to trade my Mad Milk to him since I was using it to slow down the robots).

In one of the intermediate missions on Decoy, I'll never forget this one, there were some super scouts on this one particularly annoying wave. Out of desperation, four separate players become pyros.

"Great" I think, "Atleast one of them will airblast the super scouts so they don't get away from us." and this was intermediate anyway, we could definitely beat it with four pyros, as deeply flawed and lopsided a team composition as that is.

The super scout grabs the bomb, all four pyros converge on him, I had a front row seat to this action so I know that each pyro had a chance to airblast him, and not a single one did. It just runs right around them and scores the touch down at our base.

I ragequit immediately. There's just some people you know you'll never be friends with, no matter what, and these were those people for me.

This one time, I was playing pyro on coaltown, easy mode. The bomb didn't get past on the first area where the robots drop down due to me, our heavy, our engie, our soldier and our demo being awesome. Our scout didn't get any of the money and it ended up being me and the heavy. I asked him to get the money and he said "IF I DONT GET THE CASH WERE GONNA LOSE!!1", so he didn't get the money.
The second wave, the bomb got past the first area and to the first pit. I pushed it in, and we beat the wave, but we still didn't get a bonus due to our scout being stupid. We were too broke to get good upgrades, so we lost the tank wave. Scout said "SEE!" even though there was no money until you destroyed the tank, so he was pretty much just sitting in spawn. The spies got our heavy right when it was about to get killed.

Another time, we had this spy, and I asked him to switch because of the fact that 99% of the time spies are worthless in mann vs machine. He said, "You've never seen me play spy." So i gave him a chance. He died pretty much seconds after the wave started. He wouldn't switch after we lost. We also had a sniper, but he had the huntsman and jarate, so it was better than the spy. Eventually I got the spy to go engineer after threatening him with a votekick, but he intentionally (i'm not making this up) put his sentry facing away from the door thing (we were on bigrock), behind a wall, and his dispenser was at spawn, and he did not make a teleporter. Everyone voted yes to the second votekick. No one joined after that, so i just left.

Anyone initiating a trade in the middle of a wave. It happened a lot during this christmas, I don't know why.

I went into a server with a friend. The server was full. It was wave 666. The others had mics and yelled at each other. One of them repeatedly insulted the rest of the server's family. The next one said we were horrible and he played spy. Looked at his points on the server thing (Only way to see points) he had 10 points. So basically for the entire game he had gotten 5 backstabbs. The next was a soldier with the RJer. I thought he was trying to have some fun and mg some bots but in the end he actually tried to kill bots with the jumper. The last was the worst. He tried to vote kick everyone, talked on his broken mic and only heard fuzz, didn't make a tele, took his dispenser on a spot that talks basically forever to get to, and he was using a gunslinger.

There was a child who must have been the mature manly age of ten... We failed one wave, during that wave we heard his voice on the mic. He was a spy, a poor spy.
After the wave was reset we heard him say, "I'm going to switch to heavy.", we proceeded to votekick him.
"A HEEEEEEEAVY!" was his last words before he was kicked.

this is why tf2 should have some sort of free, built-in recording program. i'm not talking about replays, those can't be used on every server. i mean, a built in thing. to record annoying, funny, nooby little kids raging and put it on youtube. it would be hilarious.

I swear i must be the only one who doesn't actually mind playing with kids. I say kids and not annoying brats because we all know the latter isn't restricted by age group. Of course I was basically Regular Show's Rigby when I was that age so I have no idea where my faith in humanity comes from.

That happened to me once in Bigrock. Some kid who was called "Harry Potter" used the eureka effect many time to go from spawn to spawn. That guy also made no teleporter the first two waves and on the third wave placed the exit at his engi nest that was at the building facing the spawn (and the fight was going on at the cave).

This I agree. Valve should have an update with this built in so that we can access these moments from a folder or something.

I was playing with this engineer the other day that, instead of moving his sentry to the tank he started hacking at the tank with his wrench through it's whole path. :(

Hahahahah! Perfect! I cannot stand some of the little kids that play this game. They join up and are suddenly master tacticians yet never have any of the necessary kit (Mad Milk, Buff banner, etc...). They never stfu on the mic and are usually the worst members of the group while having the biggest mouths. Kid got what was coming to him.

Probably people trying to get their hands on the new items... though I really don't understand why they have to do that during MvM.
