I understand what you're saying exactly. And I get what you're trying to say. However, In my case, I consider it an honor to be "focused". Really. It dose not bother me a bit. Not at all. It must mean I'm doing something right? I don't have a problem with it. And I don't understand why the Purples do? If your really that good, and your not padded, then be proud of it, and wear it well. Be proud. Play like it. Wear it like an honor. Don't cry about it. Don't ask for special protections. I'm dead serious about that statement.
I pretty much go along with this. Sometimes I get focused on and killed quickly but it's often because I did something stupid and I just try to do better next time.I used to get mad at my team more but I find it more useful to focus on what I could have done differently as long as it wasn't just a complete team fail.
Often when they focus on me it's arty and even when they were using cheat mods I just laughed because the trick to arty is to stay shielded or don't stop and don't move predictably. I often drive like a crazy person just to make arty miss. If they (any type) are focusing on me I can often use skill to delay them enough (or draw them out) so that even bad teammates can take advantage of them... otherwise I'm probably not playing smart and deserved to get whacked.
On the flip side I will go months without using any mods (xvm included) and I just play my game. I don't worry about who is good or not and it works out just fine.
The bottom line is just keep learning and getting better. If yer good most of this stuff don't really matter all that much. I only put on xvm from time to time so I can sort of pay attn to the MM trends and type of players I'm being saddled with or against.
just as a PS I still miss cross team chat. I liked to taunt arty and get them to keep shooting at me and missing... if they're missing me they aren't killing my team.
