Come to Badwater LA sometime...
But yes unfortunately most pubs have players that don't even think about or seem to realize they need to keep their medic alive.
Yeah, I live on the east coast. I did play on the LA one time and had a ping of around 80. I just couldn't do it.
It really sucks that so many people from these forums don't live on the east coast or don't have a love for badwater. Stuck on badwater NY by myself :(
