If randoms begin the dreaded LZ camp, at the start of the wave, I run toward them, then sprint away, and usually one begins to follow me, thinking I've seen an enemy they can rush. Then I run back while that first follower is looking around in confusion wondering what I'm doing, and another guy will see that half the party is in the direction I've begun running, and he comes toward me. I immediately run away again, and about half the time they chase me down. The last guy doesn't want to be left alone, so they run along, too. Soon everyone runs after me, convinced I see something I don't, and then I just park on the other side of the map and relax for a moment or two.

I learned this sort of behavior from watching sheep dogs. I'm alarmed and comforted that it works on PUGs more often than not.

As do I friend, as do I.

Not a single f*ck given.

Yup. Same here. My favorites are Giant and Reactor. Gives me time to grab a soda and popcorn to munch on for the fireworks about to occur in the LZ.

As usual we have a host of players that should be playing solo if they all don't give a fug about their team mates. By all means do the smart thing and hang back but to relish the rest of the teams wipe is stoopid.

C'mon man, you know that sitting on the LZ during extraction is impossible to do.  If they don't want to listen to my friendly team orient spiel about how this is a bad idea, then that's on them.  

Well it's not impossible on every map.  We all know that hanging back is the best thing to do, and we all know that it is indeed on them if they fail.  However these are our team mates we are talking about here for 25 minutes or so anyway.  Don't care about the team?  Think they are all dunder heads that get in the way and are to be mocked if they do not extract?  Play solo, it will suit you better.

I got yelled at by some kid a couple days ago for running away from the extraction zone. I remember this because of the way he spoke, at first it was comprehendible, then slowly devolved into something strange.

“What are you doing? Whatareyoudoing? Wharoodin? Waadin? WHAADONNNNN?”

Nah, you are a not a bad guy. I stay far away from the EZ and then move towards it around 25-30 seconds on the clock.

PUGs are on their own if they decide to defend the LZ. More often than not they should be fine with all the missiles and gels they hoarded in previous waves in the match. If not, tough luck.

I do this all the time. I got yelled at once cause I didn't help defend the LZ.

This.  

I used to try to tell folks why it was not good to rush to the LZ but after being told to go 'fun' myself I gave up on that idea.

Now, I find it rare that everyone will rush to the LZ, in a gold match, but there is always one, who, like a moth to a flame, just rushes over.  

And in the case of all three PUGmates running into the LZ, well I just end up getting 'lone survivor'

Everything tends to chase after me, so I rarely get to enjoy this luxury. It's like I'm the Frank West of the team.

[ryoldschool]

I get on the mic and tell everyone I'm headed to the other side of the map. If we have a jug, and he does not move, I'll stay and defend if he was a decent player. If I'm in a decent pug and make it to wave 11 they usually know not to go there. My bad pugs don't make it to 11, lol

[baldmop]

It depends on the lz and how many decide to stay there for me . I really don't like everyone gathered in lz building a camp fire and singing songs things go wrong quickly but pure exhilaration when successful. .

[codsquallic]

Usually yeah I watch, quite often with 1 other.

[Komrade Kaos]

It's funny... even though I know I shouldn't I feel myself getting sucked into the "Alamo Syndrome" more and more these day. Mainly because I want to see who, if anyone, will be the lone survivor!

well put...also I would like to say that I am not taking shots at PUGs because most of the time the next game we play they would have took the smart route and followed me to the back of the map on wave 11...but I just find it funny to watch them scurry in panic to survive in the LZ

I don't like it. Somehow I'm the one who always gets screwed over.

Looks like we found Waldo, the ManBearPug. 
Yeah, it's fun.  Once in a blue moon, you'll get the PUG who goes down, gels, and wisens up, running into your open, nurturing arms.  Even rarer are the times that a PUG will run frantically around the LZ and survive!  Precious moments that sometimes end up making it hell for you to survive extraction, since all the dangerous units are now camping the LZ and the routes to the LZ.  It's like some kind of divine PUG retribution for popcorning it gleefully all those games prior.

[mistervirginia]

lol this thread is funny.

[GriM_AoD]

Funnier when you can hear them over the mic xD

Though there is the rare occasion where I think "**** it!" and join them, can be quite fun.

[N7Kopper]

Popcorn is so last season.
I prefer Doritos and Galaxy chocolates.

Every man for himself on PUG wave 11.

Sit back for sure.

This is fantastic to watch on london and white

[Ashevajak]

I can relate.

Had a horrible game yesterday, the PUGs I were with simply couldn't stay alive. I soloed the last three rounds, essentially, and then, after watching them all immediately rush to the LZ, decided to go to the other side of the map. Had to kill a single dragoon all wave, while they were dancing with Phantoms and Atlases in the LZ.

Thank you team mates, your heroic efforts to ensure my Lone Survivor status were not in vain.

Apart from on Reactor, Rio and Giant, I dont see a lot of LZ zerg rushes nowadays though. Those three maps seem pretty bad for it, though at least Giant's is pretty defensible for the right team, and on Rio it prevents enemies spawning behind you. Seems PUGs are generally learning, when it comes to that particular error.

[HeroicMass]

I love it too. I also like to hurl snide comments at their dead bodies.

I usually try to help them. I like to hold the line.

Then we all die.

I'm stupid.

^This. Unless they are all bled out before I can get to them. Happens frequently.
