LOL Unbelievable. That's the best part about being a biotic: the explosions.

I once played with an asari adept that only used Warp and wanted to play alone from the rest of the group. I don't remember what wave, but I had to run to revive him and so I stuck around to explode his Warps with Throw. He then turned to face me, shot once and then ran away. Shortly after I followed to see him just spamming Warp in a new spot, so I started to explode the Warps with Throw again.
He then explained that I was "killstealing his warp targets" and left the game. Okay, but the killfeed showed them being killed by his explosion as he set it up, I don't know what was the problem...

@Eire Icon: That was an awesome story. I nearly cried.

Truth be told, I did many stupid/funny things too. Like trying to run from a banshee and 2 brutes only to run into 3 ravagers and then running around like a headless chicken only to die by marauder or something on silver. I laugh at myself, though.

I play on PC so I get puzzled when I see some players really desperate for kills running into every mob and getting killed. I didn't realize this is normal XBox behaviour. I play really relaxed and concentrate on mission objectives. So I usually end up being the lowest scoring player of the team. Don't care much about the leader board.

This desperate need for kills just leaves me scratching my head. I've been in bronze (and silver) games where the mission is scrubbed due to players ignoring the mission and running out of time because they were too busy looking for kills and I was a spectator. There was one guy who just camped in one spot even though the clock was ticking. He absolutely refused to budge. Until the banshees came...

Also, I realize stealing kills is bad form but sometimes I thought the guy was in trouble - only to have the guy 'melee' me afterwards for stealing the kill. So now I just wait a second or two before helping. Often if I see everyone concentrating on 1 direction (corridor or whatnot) I simply watch their backs. Many times I've seen 3 guys doing this and they all get killed by 2-3 pyros and stealthed hunters.

To be fair to some of the Asari Snipers, having played a Asari Vanguard with a Paladin, sometimes it's just ractionary to hit stasis. I've played this game a lot and know for a fact you can't stasis armored mobs, but when your fingers move beacuse it's an emergency the first button it always goes to is stasis when it should be lift Grenade. It's a strange concept I know, that people make mistakes when under pressure.

Reapeatedly though, when the Pyros are across the map, that's just silly.

I agree with this, but the last one particularly made me lol.  The other day I was playing Glacier as a Krogan looking for enemies.  I ran up the stairs with the small room on the right at the top and as soon as I turned the corner there was an atlas, a phantom, and some other miscellaneous enemies.  I immediately fled in fear.  As soon as I did it I couldn't help but think of this:

I don't run into spawn points...but I certainly run in terror everytime I hear a banshee close by. D:

It's not running in terror, it's kiting.

Seriously? My team and I were joking about LEEEEEROOOOOYYY JENKINSSSS for most of the night last night. If we'd had a random who actually did that, it would have been priceless.

 "Kill stealing warped targets" LOL You would think they'd bother to look at the kill feed if they thought you were kill stealing.

@Eire Icon, I would have just about died laughing myself if I listened to that conversation.

 I guess I just never realized how some people don't know about BEs.

That time a couple months back when a couple of guys in a random match tried to boot me because I went with a lvl 1 Asari Justicar...this was a goddamned BRONZE match, mind you, and these guys all had N7 ratings higher than mine, and they were all rocking characters from lvl 18 to 20.

Only one of the randoms refused to add his Kick vote against me, so the match starts.

Well...during a 4 node Objective wave, they all get themselves killed pretty quickly.

on BRONZE...

...so I finish all the nodes and kill ALL THE THINGS and carry them through the wave. Throughout the rest of the match, I'm literally MVP because whenever they get killed, I'm the guy reviving them. And using nothing more than a piddly Reave and Pull, and a low-level Phaeston, I top the scoreboard at the end of the match.

I say into the mic, "Well, I guess it's a good thing nobody tried to kick me or anything..." and then bounce.

I mean...it was goddamned Bronze, for f*ck's sake...

[Ibn_Shisha]

My favorites are the ones who think you are somehow obligated to keep the 2 starting weapon classes for the class. They put whichever weapon in each class they have at the highest level (or, commonly, the highest weight). It's even better when they then equip a Rail Amp. For a DIFFERENT weapon class....

Sometimes I wish I had a mic...

[Longhammer808]

I laugh heartily when: a random Gold lobby has three "readys" and one "not ready" and the "not ready" finally makes the crucial choice of bringing their Krysae or their Black Widow for their GI after five minutes. Then, the match starts. The GI, now fully solo wolf, gets overwhelmed and executed in the first round far, far away from the rest of the team.

Me and the two other guys finish Round 1 and get set for Round 2. But it's just us three: the foot-dragging guy has rage quit out of shame or despondency, quit because he couldn't be the leaderboard master after getting curb-stomped.

So I laugh. A replacement is surely on the way, and all is well.

[Captain Funky Blimp]

I have yet to derive endless, howling laughter from mocking players less skilled than I. 

I like to think that after a great deal of practice I'm above average at least, but when I first started I was awful, and stayed that way for longer than I would care to admit.

Heaping mockery and derision upon noobs is something that never really appealed to me.

Now if you're talking about players who are just flat out jerks and/or tardbeasts, I'm with you.

People with a n7 rank of less than 50 joining my gold game and krogans who melee banshees.

I only play Krogans on Bronze, so I can melee everything.  I won't do it during extranction, but if I get instant killed on wave 9 on Bronze, I am sure everyone else can handle the round.  The only real fun in playing a Krogan is meleeing everything.

Speaking of AA's, has anyone else encountered the AA that NEVER USES A BIOTIC POWER at all? I have. A lvl 20, AA, in fact. Dagger/Cerberus/Bronze. He also had diarrhea of the mic. The other 2 randoms decided they had pressing business elsewhere quite early in the mission. I somehow managed to carry through Wave 9 before we wiped. With my lvl 2 MHI. TC, CB, Locust...

playing with another infiltrator...he gets in front you to block your shots.....and I still outscored him by 20K in the end.

Eire Icon, that was the single greatest story I have ever heard.

I also, cannot stop laughing

I wish I could be like you - you know - all 12 foot long e-peen.  Can I bask in the aura of your perfection, having never made a mistake - you godlike being of awesomesauce?

Can I sit there all smug, and act like a troll - hiding behind the internets, with a facade of 1337n355, like you?

What kind of man laughs at another's misfortune?  From what lofty heights do you look down upon the peasantry, these subjects of your whims? 

Do you smile while the person beside you dies, being just in the blast  zone of a grenade?  Do you leave them to bleed out whilst looking for that elusive phantom?

You Sir, are what we call the indoctrinated.   You do not know what teamwork is.  You do not know sacrafice.  If you are busy looking for reasons to laugh at other's misfortunes, then you are not doing your job.  You have to give of yourself - for the bonds of brotherhood are forged in pain.  That's what it means to be a true warrior - a member of the N7.  We give our lives so that others may live.  That is the promise, the bond of men - and the challenge.

Are you up to the challenge, or are you too busy laughing to step up?

That replacement was probably me just after I promoted a class.  Nothing like promoting a class and looking for a bronze game only to be sucked into a gold game in progress.  It has not happened often, maybe 3-4 times.

My falcepalm chuckle moment is a lvl 18 vorcha on silver going down 4 times a wave because he runs straight into a horde of cerb troops meanwhile me and the others are destroying everything in our path. I was a vorcha too and it baffled me how you go down so much with health regen powers I know ur not invincible but come on you definetely die a lot less. so yup good job lvl 18 vorcha you made my day!

I have the same experiences after promoting my guys it always makes me laugh when i'm the lvl 1 carrying a team of lvl 16-20 it has to be embarrasing for them but not for me cause i laugh through the entire match becuase they either tried to kick me or the said i would do bad but nope i kicked ass so to all u out there who try to kick lvl 1 characters you make people lol cause they little ol lvl 1's beat all  but it may be just cause i'm quite good at the multiplayer because i have played all the mass effects but regardless lvl 1's carrying a team is a definate facepalm moment

*Ahem* My e-peen is 20 feet long whilst buried in the freshest Alaskan snow.

Last summer it was routinely mistaken for the Lochness Monster.

If you're auditioning for the lead role in As BSN Turns... you could have at least been diligent enough to come correct on my measurements. Now if you'll excuse me my diamond encrusted platinum chariot pulled by orphaned N735 Bronzers awaits. The White Tiger striped Vorcha strapped to their backs may have gotten restless.

We have reached a point in our society where it is thankfully unacceptable to discrimate for reasons of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, illness, mental and physical capacity or religion.

Incompetence does not make that list though.

[bawb44]

Most of the time, the facepalm moments in my teams come from me..... I am a very unskilled player. N7300ish, and I still don't know what creates a Biotic Explosion all the time. My point totals are always on the bottom, but what I lack in skill I make up for in being entertainment. I have done most of the face palm things..... except the sniper on the adept (still laughing). I just try out stuff on bronze and then go to silver. I rarely do gold unless I know I have a great team for it.

There was one match where I was an AA with a Drell Adept, and two Krogan Vanguards. They were all level 20, but slightly lower N7 level than me. Since I was pretty low at the time (and still am, I guess), I didn't give a f*ck.

I'm expecting a fairly easy run with all the biotics and ability to set off BEs. I'm setting up warps for the Kroguards to detonate and so forth.

But at no point is anyone else on the team detonating any BEs. And in point of fact, none of them are even using their powers. These guys are literally getting killed left and right, and I'm running around doing objectives, blowing sh*t up and reviving people.

Last five waves, I begin talking to these guys...which I should have from the beginning, but I hate giving the impression that I'm trying to run sh*t in a game that is just for fun. I'm explaining to the Kroguards what will happen when I warp a target and they Charge it. And it works. I try to explain to the Drell that if he Reaves folks, I can explode them, AND the krogans can do so as well, but he never responds.

I had gotten angry through the first five waves, because without talking to them, I just assumed they were all f*ckfaces. But after I started talking to them, I realized no one had ever explained BEs to them. They had no idea they could even do that sh*t.

I started giving them some tips about not carrying heavy weapons if you're a caster class, like the DA, who was rocking a shotgun and a sniper rifle. I felt weird about giving this advice, because I figure, people play how they want to play. If it works for them, who am I to tell them otherwise?

But it clearly was not working for them or for the team.

They responded positively, so I think it turned out for the best. Hopefully, they picked up some useful knowledge. And I got the chance to help some folks along the path of understanding.

I can't sit back and laugh at them, even though I was initially inclined to, because I figure, there but for the grace of god...and whatever. I certainly didn't know sh*t when I first started playing...I learned from people who knew.
