Well, 1vs4 3ls, which are probably on ts is practically impossible to win and very hard to survive. Especially when your teammates have brought 4 bad lights for grinding.
Fall back to your heavy firepower units/ your ddc. Im usually cautious, before i jam a ddc im my cicada.
Pray that they have good aim. A 3l with an open torso will probably run off for the moment.
I can remember a game, where my premade was me in a Flame and 3 atlai. We were filled up by four pugs in random non-ecm lights. Of course, they pulled an enemy premade in 4 3Ls.
I chose my position pretty optimistically and quickly drew aggro from the flock. My first though was - "great, 4x3L, gg"
I ran for the atlai, which maneuvered themselves into a firing line on a street ( map was river city).
The first raven which followed me into the street didnt make it for the next crossroads to turn away. Second and third suffered heavy damage.
In the end we won.
OC, this was a one-in-hundred textbook reaction. But nevertheless - the lesson learned is:
Getting swarmed by lights? - Run for your heavy firepower units and hope they have good aim. IF thats not an option, run for narrow places, like streets. If possible, do both.

And how long has WoT been out? I've played WoT. In the beginning, it was pure crap. People QQing about the same stuff as people are doing here. It wmight be better now but that is still a pay-to-win game. Gold ammo? Sky high repair cost in Tiers 8+?
Yeah, your opinion. Pay to win you say? Its pay to play high-tiers at most. What you do disregard is that you can absolutely own low to med tiers without paying a single cent. You played WoT in the beginning, your opinion is based on outdated information.
And another fact: people QQed about the same things - things got better.
Getting my point?

First of all, Respect? Try exasperation.
The "Team Play" vs "I wanna be ALONE" argument has been going on since game inception now, and all "respect" has gotten is people jumping up and down on the launch button screaming "it says I can go it alone, so that;s a great idea, nerf teams more!!!" Were this logic applied to anything else in the competitive world, a basketball team would be forced to grab half of it's team from the audience. It makes no sense.
Look, if someone is new to the game and doing solo runs til they get down controls, fine. If they don't know how to find Teamspeak or Vent channels with people to game with, fine. However, once they realize there are plenty of people who just want people to game and talk with, REGARDLESS OF SKILL LEVEL (check the link in my sig if you don't believe me), and still go alone, then gripe about getting shot to boogers by an organized team, that is entirely THEIR FAULT. They have every option available to them to play the TEAM GAME as intended, and they still ignore it.
I'm not saying that solo launch should be removed, Some people do it all the time, and enjoy it. They, however, aren't on here complaining about it.
If you solo drop, the game is going to be harder, and you will die more. If you choose to continue this, you deal with it.
Also, if the solution you want is for premades to be nerfed more, thus reducing team play, I frankly don't want you on my team. You, by your own admission, are not a team player, and therefore are a detriment to any team.
I'm tired of people soft-pawing around this subject. I LOVE new players coming to the game, and will do anything I can to help get them acclimated, including TELLING THEM IT IS A TEAM GAME AND SHOWING THEM THE MANY, MANY, MANY GROUP GAMEPLAY OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO THEM.

Thats enough babbling. I didnt ask for nerfing teams. Noone did. Is the information that there IS a team a nerf for you? Thats not a place for you to protect your teamplay rights, because NOONE tries to take them away from you. Premade all you want, I never asked you to stop.
