    Will a shooter please explain to me why at the end of a match some of you lose all common sense. Let me set the scene, you and an unfriendly shooter are all that's left. You are one shot away from being destroyed and they have full health with 1 min to go. They are halfway across the map and there are plenty of obstacles to stay out of harms way. Instead you feel brave and think that your tier 2 rare magically turned into a tier 5 legendary and think I can take them.

    If there's too much time left on the clock, I would probably rush, too. I'm probably going to die anyway, why try that hard just to save 23 infamy? I don't think I've ever seen what you're describing where the Shooter in question didn't die at the last second.

    I've seen it a few times, I understand if there is like a 1:30 left that gives them time to set up line of sight. The few instances I am talking about are 50 secs or less with plenty of options to use the barricades to save your team a loss

    Because battles are decided before they even begin. There's a reason why higher level ships aren't equally distributed between teams because game keeps everyone at 50% win rate. No point wasting time fighting obvious uphill battle. Just move onto the next one.

    I'll admit that sometimes I get so caught up in the battle I forget to look at the clock and end up dead, with seconds left, when I should have run for the draw.

    I've seen this a few times and I'm just staring and screaming at my phone. Just hide and let it be a draw! But nope they die. I've only seen once where the playing ran and let it be a draw.

    You actually gain 1 infamy if you draw.

    I think they change it . The scoreboard says +0 but it actually gives you +1 in the battle log

    Nah, they didn't change it. There is just some variance sometimes when you win, you will get +23 instead of +24
