Are we sure they didn't do the same thing as ME 3 when Plat was introduced, and make it the default setting for new players? O.o

This happened once in one of my gold games some time ago, that two HSols showed up with level 1 character and two default guns. So I got on the mic and asked if they'd intended to use the kit for gold. One of them said "wait, this is a gold game?" I asked him how he got into the game, he said he did a search using "random". So not every new player knows how to search for games by level. I'd definitely inform them that they got into a plat game. Lol

That is... ugly. I'm not sure I'd feel real confident of success even on Bronze with the three noobmigos there, if I happened upon them while trying out a new kit.

The Angara Avenger is invincible on Bronze, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Hell the Human Soldier is invincible on Bronze if you know what you're doing.

I failed a lol bronze match yesterday due to time-out on devices. One of the pugs started it and was killed half way. He didn't gel, I wasn't able to reach it in-time.

Rookie mistake.

In situations like this, I ready up, and as soon as I'm loaded into the game, I promptly quit. Make 'em learn the hard way ^^

We got two level 9's and a level 6 there should breeze through Bronze I remember starting with a brand new kit (I forget what now) in DAMP going PUG on Routine and getting 2 kick votes almost instantly. They did take 'em off when I got on the mic and asked where exactly I was supposed to start off.

Welcome to Platinum... Compared to these three you're not sempai already, but rather sensei :-)) They are clearly noob but Trying to play low level , poorly equipped soldier give away that they have no clue what they are doing. They would have better chance dealing damage & surviving with almost all other common kits available. Well.. at least one guy was smart enough to pick infiltrator.

Hmm, is there a benefit to surviving even one or two waves in platinum vs the full bronze game atm? By the look of that shot the OP joined a lobby in progress, and the mission is actually custom set-up to that APEX/Plat difficulty (gods only know why Remnat unless it's part of the APEX). Maybe that's a calculated risk, not a noob mistake? Maybe there is a system to this madness?

You let a PUG do an objective? *shakes head sadly* Rookie mistake. I did the first two devices, 3rd one was on the other side of the map. When I was seeing the pug starting it, I was already readying for the last one. I'll not repeat this mistake.

Did you clue him/her in that s/he can press 7 to restore shields w/o interrupting the device to keep self alive? It was one of the most important tips I picked up on the forum when I started, and I would have never guessed otherwise

I really don't see the problem here. I've read comments here the last two days claiming that even a platinum solo is a no-brainer, so why should three additional helping hands - even if low level - create a problem??? At least for the high skilled super heroes NO game constellation should mean an issue. P.S. Personally I would have left the lobby and created a new one. I'm not the super hero type...

I wouldn't take that group into a Platinum, but I love Gold lobbies that look like that. At least one time out of ten one of the PUGs'll turn out to me much better than expected, and even when they all suck they usually frantically res each other. They generally suck down enough aggro without killing much that most waves become solo lite.

You make a compelling argument. Who will be the first to do a Plat game in which you carry 3 n00bs? N00bs must be level 1 Human characters with Avengers also level 1.

This is why they shouldn't release Platinum Apex matches. People who don't otherwise play MP at all enter Apex matches from an SP terminal. I think a lot of unprepared n00bs enter Silver and Gold matches that way, too.
Of course, the ideal would be to allow players to choose difficulty with bronze as the default, though I suppose they would also want to adjust the item boxes awarded accordingly as well.

I think I had like 50 revives last match... not kidding. I really want to publicly shame these players because I've seen them before and they might even be BSNers, but I'll just let it go.
You'd think dying over and over behind the same piece of cover would... I don't know... MAKE YOU FUCKING MOVE
