Had a pretty annoying session in my West Marches Lancer server last night, though I’m not sure about calling it terrible given how quick it was for me. I’m not gonna lie though, I got mad (though I just accepted and left the chat, didn’t make a scene in the call/server)
In this server I main the Emperor mech, a squishy, low HP type that has Overshields (Temporary HP) and can grant it to allies. Its very evasive, but if it get hits there’s no armor or anything else to block damage (I did have 1 Armor for this combat only because of a Reserve, one time use item).
On the first turn, I give some general buffs to my teammates and advise they Hide instead of charging ahead; we were warned this would be a ‘lethal’ mission, so caution would be good. I didn’t Hide myself because of the buff giving ate my actions, but that’s more of an annoyance to the enemy who would need to use a Search action before attacking, plus I’m a little behind the others and also in cover.
Then the GM teleports a Ultra type enemy - as in, actually uses an ability to teleport 50 spaces away - straight to the backline and goes for me. So far so good, I imagined that it was meant to give us a scare. It misses the first attack and hits the second, and its weapon “attacks” twice on hit, so that’s two strikes on me. Then the Ultra acts again (it has two ‘activations’ meaning it can take two full turns in a single round) and attacks me again. Then it Overcharges (gets 1 extra action) and uses it to place a Lock-On on me, which grants it accuracy on the next attack, and hits once more. Both of those hit, meaning 5x attacks in a row and I lose 2 Structure (think HP bars). At any point it could’ve used a Search action to find the other party members who were right there or general debuffs, so its getting a little weird.
The next turn, another player who was ahead falls back and attacks the Ultra to pull it away from me. He hits one attack and manages to Ram, which knocks it Prone (I did raise his roll by 1 to make sure the Ram hits, as I can do that as a Reaction in a turn). I guess now its a little more even.
Then the GM immediately acts as the Ultra, clear Prone and goes for me again. It Overcharges once more - another Lock-on - and attacks me another two times with a Barrage (using all its weapons as a single action). That’s 3 Structure and my mech is down. And I’m there like 
okay, guess that’s my job done, gg everyone.
I did talk to him afterwards - way afterwards because, again, I was actually kinda mad, there aren’t a lot of people in this server that run games in my night time - and explained that there is “hard” and there is “unfair”. The enemies are not stupid, but they’re also not mind-readers, and he’s supposed to react to the game as a GM, and not think like a player who “wants to win”. When you beeline for the healer/support like that and explicitly attacks him, going so far to ignore another player who is attacking you, its just straight up bad GMing. He asked me why I didn’t say anything about it in chat (which, honestly, kinda baffling) and I told that was not even the first time has done the exact thing against me, ignore players attacking an enemy and making it focus exclusively on me, plus I don’t want to be a baby complaining about getting targeted.
