Useless.
I leave the game for a month, return only to find myself THANKFUL there's a fu*king TGI in the room to save me from rezzing THREE pugs all the time. 150K and 15 revives by wave 6 is poor "epeen" consolation when we wipe on wave 8 after I run out of gels.
Guess I'll be back in another month.
Uhhhhh.
Rolling through a game with three really solid players when one of my kids woke up and came downstairs. Right when wave 9 starts, I bleed out so I can take her back up figuring "Hey, this team can handle it!" Came back down 2 minutes later with Shepard's laptop on my tv. *sigh*
Backbreaking:
And no there's nothing exceptional about the scores outside of the ineffectual symmetry of my teammates, It's actually impressive. Normally in this scenario I'd get at least one other person scoring 60-80K with the other 2 dragging way behind. But it seems they were brothers in a struggle for mediocrity.
PS For the record they weren't "bad" players, they were all just running weird kits I think.
Confusion
Searched for UUG, landed in a Unknown/Reapers/Gold lobby. The host came on over his mic to point out that one of the players was apparently planning on playing a level 12 character in a Plat game.
I double checked the lobby settings... no change.
The player of the level 12 character then drops out of the lobby to be replaced by another with a similarly levelled character and immediately gets a kick vote from some unknown player. The only change to the lobby I was aware of after that was one less me in it.
Went from that to what I can only imagine to be a relatively painless GIP Condor/Collectors match. (To be fair, I like Collectors).
Worst.
I have never had a wave 2 go so badly. And none of the Pugs, including a supposed "Best of the Best" knew how to use a medigel.
NotasbadasIthoughtitwasgoingtobe...
U/U/G - I'm hosting after a host migration in the previous game, and up comes Collectors/Rio - I thought it was going to be a clusterf*ck; wasn't that bad - BatSent/Kishok on-host is pretty lulzy. The only problem I had was my timing with the AA - we had a bad habit of simultaneous SubNet/Stasis on the same enemy which was probably screwing their BEs - still got the headshot though I suppose,
Aggro.
Javelin GI
Black Widow DAI
CSR Salarian Infiltrator
They just switched to a Claymore Dell Vanguard with GC V, a Reegar Geth Trooper and a QMI with a Widow so we'll name this lobby "Tryhard Pants".
EDIT: Both preset to Reapers.
My last pug in one gif:
A Juggy teammate decided to carry the pizza from on end of Rio to the other while being rushed by phantoms. At least he let me deliver the 2nd one. 
Bored.
I pugged Plat/Giant Hazard/Reapers with an AIU. Kits did not mesh extremely well. There was a Juggy drawing aggro. There was a BatSol (sans grenades!!). Honestly the most interesting thing was how well a Huntress played semi-solo killing her own stuff without eating off of the Juggy's plate. Otherwise, it's like a dance where everyone knows the steps. Pretty sure I yawned.
No more Platinum/Giant, please.
Zurri I hear ya but I actually find Giant/Plat very entertaining. Can be boring for the GJ or the VS. I always bring something fun but helpful. I came to really appreciate the Javelin GI on that map. Last match I was with an Asari Ad, Awakened, Geth Eng and I was EDI. Trust me, was not boring despite the repetitive environs.
NEATO
Was a salarian with the venom. Didn't even care that it was on condor. That combo will make anything fun.

If three of the teammates are constantly going down on Wave 2, I sincerely doubt there is any point in using a medi-gel that early to begin with. You're all just likely to wipe before you even make it past Wave 6 even with someone clutching it.
Well honestly Iggy I'm a decent player but like every 20th game i just get trolled...especially Collectors with lag, thats like an instakill.
Frozen.
Wave 10 freeze on a Giant/Collectors/Gold. AFTER the objectives.
I'll try to let it go LOL
Isn't the inactivity timeout 2 minutes?
I bled out right at the start of the wave, so it wouldn't matter. The morale of the story is that rest of the team wiped two minutes later.
DECOY
But I was the decoy! Towards the end of the Wave 6 hack in the middle of Hazard Giant, I was getting stomped and revived at the same time. So I hit a gel. This was all while another pug was shooting at the dude stomping me. tl;dr I gelled, got revived, and wave ended all at the same time.
This resulted in a glitch where I was stuck in spectator mode for the next two waves, despite my character being alive and standing there in the corner. Two pugs died Wave 7, so I was spectating the remaining guy, an AIU who ran two circuits around the map to fill up all of his Grenade Capacity V Noob Stims. When he came back up around top, I had all 8 enemies circle jerking around me. In addition to being alive, my character was also invincible.
AIU picked them off and Wave 7 completed. This did not fix me. At some point during 8 or 9, I spontaneously got the "mash button or gel" message in the middle of my screen, so I was able to gel and regain control of my character. Despite being incapacitated for 2 waves, I still topscored the lobby.
Epicmofotrololololol
Not really a pug but damn near every player had fifteen revives and most of the deaths were at the hands of the player. Hopefully the video of how not to play Collectors will be posted soon.

That's why I said even with someone clutching it.
Meaning you. 
Painful.
Off-host Kishock QFI with a bit of rubberbanding and only Sabotage shots registering. Condor/Geth/Gold, GIP, two players were dying all over the place, a Shadow was killing my Sabotaged targets, before they could give me a breather. I need a nap.
Full extraction btw.

"Your not finished yet" !
Telekinesis
It's what the Scion used to pull me from 10 ft directly behind it to the front where it could smash me. Been a long time since I've died that way. Had to clutch the tail end of Wave 7 for BS reasons as well, after we all blew our medigel load in the Reactor central hack on wave 6. Thought I'd rescue my remaining team mate by missiling the 2 Scions standing over him with my last remaining missile. Nopelol. Missile clipped directly through the stationary Scion. Everything else went like you'd expect after that. Wave 9 wipe. 
After playing an awful trio match on Rio too, where I had to solo basically all of Wave 8 with ungodly amounts of grenade spam and actual Thermal Clip use. No healing left. Could not hold Wave 9 after the other 2 wiped in the first half of it. Stupid newbie Krogan Vanguard on the other side of the map. 
Whenever you see a low N7 vanguard, you know you're in for it.
Lone survivor.
In one game I had this morning the team was camping the FB Hydra LZ with about 15 seconds left to extraction. Then with only a few seconds left, our Batguard decides to lash in a possessed abomination (you know where this is going.) Well as this was happening I was shooting a possessed trooper with my Wraith and was about to cast reave on him. Then my dumb ass noticed an abom flying towards the team and decided to reave IT instead of the trooper. If you thought regular aboms were painful, you must've never seen one go air burst. The force from the biotic 'splosion sent the abom flying about a meter above our heads and then kaboom. The team's Juggy was the lone survivor.
Then much later on I got invited to a game where another buddy of mine dropped into the lobby as well as a clueless pug. Well come wave 11 I get synced like the scrub that I am, the friend who invited me ran out of gels and bled out and the clueless pug did whatever clueless pugs do. He didn't make it. Buddy who got dropped into the lobby was the lone survivor.
Then a few games after that we're playing on FB Reactor and decide to hold the the far end of the reactor until about 20 seconds left to extraction. 2 pugs decided to run through the reactor and both got smoked by a mob of Goons and Phantoms. My friend and I go around the reactor on the catwalks. Then out of no where she gets slashed by a Phantom, dooming her chances to extract. I manage to get to the LZ but get killed with a few seconds left to extraction. Luckily I managed to gel and heavy melee just in time. I was the lone survivor.
I very rarely see the Lone survivor medal, maybe once every couple of weeks. Seeing 3 in one day was pretty cool.
^Mostly liked for aerial nuke. XD
