Sorry, but i'm gonna have to veto that. I'm not gonna learn another language. You'll just have to get used to Australian.
As far as your rift remark goes: i agree. Things can get out of hand quickly with a game type like this. Which is one of the reasons i'm not too fond of it. I've had some matches that made little sense in terms of outcome.
One where the opposing team had one person less than us and still beat the crap out of us. 3 clanmates there so i suppose they were either talking or at the very least had played together often. Also a match where in my team just about everyone had a better k/d ratio than the best person on the opposing team. Still lost. Been on the winning side of a silly match too. Our team dunked the spark 3 times in quick succession. I ended up with 7 kills and 0 deaths before the match got stopped by the mercy rule.
Got lucky in IB last Friday. Found two items that were both useful and much higher than i had before. Also made a switch with some gear. That together got me over 300 light. After that my k/d noticably went up. Yesterday afternoon i was really on top of my game. Even despite getting disconnected to the server in what felt like my best performance. I put down the enemy spark runner 4 (!) times before i got thrown out. Checked afterwards and my k/d ratio in that match was 2.5.
The evening however was a totally different matter. It felt like the game was out to get me. I got in 2 consecutive matches where i was like: does anyone on my team know what the hell they're doing??? I was trying to prevent the enemy from getting the spark and i was the only one of my team there. Versus 4 of the opposing team. Needless to say i didn't win that fight. After that i was kinda pissed off and lost my mojo. So my k/d of the day dropped quite a bit (from a whopping 1.71 to 1.4-something).
Judging by my stats it seems like i'm not too bad at it. Especially looking at my k+a/d which is (for my titan) top 6%. And it gets even more ridiculous when looking at average assists per game. There my titan is #607 overall and #40 of his class. In that respect both my titan and my overall average is in the top 1%!
