Usually a walker will do well in teams that are more focused in winning a round than getting a lot of points. Teams that want to win are more supportive and look out for each other. They revive and assist strategically those that are in a better position to attack or defend, instead of doing it randomly, so they will even sacrifice to protect the walker's weak spots because they know that in the end they benefit greatly from the walker.

True, I agree that teamwork between a walker and the team surrounding it is the recipe for success.

But I disagree on placing such an emphasis on the team. Pardon me Lusitano, don't misunderstand this post -- I'm not typing it against you. You brought up an issue that leads to what I want to say here.

I often hear:

"We would do a whole lot better if this team knew how to revive."
or
"This team is filled with idiots, that's why we can't do anything."
or
"Look at that -- engineer two feet from me and he won't repair me. This team sucks."

Yes, the team may suck, yes the CO may suck, yes everyone but you may suck but this is the reality. You cannot change that. Complaining about it and blaming will solve nothing. Resolving you cannot do anything because of your team is a weakness.

First, start with what you have.

Recognize the situation and work outside it. Compensate for your team's ineptitude. Think outside the box, devise different tactics and strategies. Ignore the fact that the team is not helping you and focus on getting things done. Whining about a simple reality -- lack of skills, experience, or teamwork -- will do absolutely nothing. Even worse, blaming your failure on their ineptitude is even worse. The reality exists and you cannot change it: you must adapt and compensate.

Yes, it's quite beautiful when the entire team works together. It's pretty to have constant engineers on your walker, to have medics with defibs behind you, to have resupplies as soon as you call them, to have a UAV over you when you call it in -- but if it doesn't happen, you cannot blame your failure on those teammates. Acknowledge the reality, accept it, and work to fix it. Adapt, compensate, change your tactics. A negative attitude changes nothing: the game is only what you make of it.
