You say you blame yourself and your team more than Tarkin (in the game). But I think that's the issue tbh. If you "blame" your opponent for a good play, that brings people up. He circumvented the entire team to do that. Twice.

There isn't a ground player assigned to your backline. Nobody is actively thinking to themselves "alright, I need to hold this front, take these mex, and screen around my air player's factory for gremlins". Getting them to bail you out isn't something you should take for granted when you get hit from an unexpected angle. Rather than blame, it should be Tarkin's insightful exploit of the weakness that should be celebrated.

Its always good to think about where you can improve, but try to be realistic about it. Sometimes no matter how well you do your team can't hold it together. If you as a lower ranked player were a significant obstacle to blues and purples that is not something to be understated.

I agree with SnuggleBass. Games and the community would be way better if we stopped blaming teammates or engaging in blame games entirely and started focusing on celebrating good plays. We should be trying to bring each other up not push each other down.

This was part of why I stopped playing in teams all welcome. It's just not fun to play in when certain people feel it's okay to make the environment hostile like that. More so when kick votes are involved in this blame process. It actively makes the game less fun to play I feel.
