[BBMM] BLUB__BLUB [BBMM] Players 8,818 posts 17,199 battles Report post #2 Posted July 11, 2020 I have two of those, but my main reason for poatoing is when teammates do stupid stuff. Like when I am in CV, they want me to spot and kill DDs, but they never help. And then some BBs go to map border and cry "need spotting". Such stuff. Or when I am in a BB you cover two cruisers, they both turn and run. Same when in a cruiser you cover the DD he smokes up and dies. I always go whistle this song, and the I potato on... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[CUPID] TruePhoenix Players 266 posts 12,721 battles Report post #4 Posted July 11, 2020 In all honesty. Over-committing. Either I get sucked in by team mates going forward only for them to turn back the moment the first salvo arrives or simply me pushing a bit too far forward. Occasionally and a lot less now than last year, showing broad side at the wrong moment. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, in all honesty getting greedy is my potato causing curse. It tends to go something like this: Me - just... one... more... torpedo run... on fat stationary BB (ignores DD creeping closer) DD - "HA HA, Torpedo Surprise Criminal CV scum" Me " Oh noes" DD - "You violated the law by bringing that foul CV in here" Me - Glub, glub, glub (sad sound of CV rolling over and activating emergency Submarine mode) 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Teob_ Players 1,625 posts 14,901 battles Report post #12 Posted July 12, 2020 Greed. Greedy for that extra 10k dmg or that extra kill. Staying in smoke when I know there are torpedoes on their way because an enemy DD had been spotted or staying on a flank for too long because instead of realising I am outnumbered I just figure that there's a lot of damage and kills I can get since I am not competing with anyone. Stuff like that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The worst is this little devil sitting on my shoulder and whispering 'go on, you can move a bit closer' when I KNOW it is not a good idea and I will get punished.
