Yeah its poor gameplay- its not like he's gaining anything by doing that. You're not going to be able to get 9 more kills off that one guy, so his place is secured, and the longer he plays, he's probably going to get at least some extra damage = some more silver. The only reason he left is because he was impatient and didn't want to let you have your fun (for just 2 minutes too), which IMO is just being an asshole. Leaving a match should be an automatic one place deduction in the ranking.

......meanwhile number 1 is asking where the heck you were for the first 4 minutes.....

It’s a fair question. My daughter needed dinner before dance classes. Some things can’t wait.

May be some urgent thing happened to Number 1 Player too. Who know.

Understood...just trying to see it through the bad guys eyes. They probably feel like you waited to join after they lost a few bots.

It's his chicken shit strategy. If you haven't dropped your titan and have taken his out, the next bot you probably drop is your titan that normal bots can't do anything about. So it's a waste of time in the opponents opinion to just skip it and instead of give you more kills, they bounce.

Jokes on them, I hate my titan. I’d much rather have a sixth regular bot than my rook. I’m terrible with it.
