so first you say sticking together is brain dead strategy... then you say the problem is that people dont stick together

WTF?!

The reason you're WTFing at my post is that you didn't actually read it properly.

Your not alone, my team normally fails hard as well.

72 wins to 105 losses, 1.04 kdr (and that’s with me rarely getting the last hits [seem I always get people to red core then someone else shows up and gets the kills shot, lol). On a side note they should not track kdr but kda.

The only consistent factor in all your games is you. And I can say with reasonable confidence, YOU are in fact the problem. You need a shirt that points upwards to your head, so everytime you look down you are reminded that you are the problem.

I love all these folks saying "The only consistent factor in your games is you durp hurp".

Except there are several other consistent factors including the fact that matchmaking is totally random and does not include any ELO system right now. Its is VERY EASY to have every single game, all day, become 7v8s, have feeders, afkers, or just have your team be straight up awful, regardless of your own skill. Weight class based matchmaking, no ELO/skill factor in matchmaking, potential for the enemy to have premades and you to have none, feeders, afkers, bugs, etc ALL factor into it and, depending just upon the random chances of the day, you might end up with almost every game being a total crapshoot because of it.

At the same time, this is a team game, so you can't act as though a single person can carry the game. If you are surrounded by awful players, you are extremely likely to lose unless you manage to get a perfect run and take out basically everyone by yourself. I've done it before, but its very rare and you can't rely on it happening.

The only thing you can do in pug games is keep with wherever the majority of the players are going. "Stick together" isn't a battle plan, but honestly when people aren't going to listen, you don't really have much of a choice.

Unless you end up with a lance of light mechs, a couple of mediums and you're the only person who weighs over 55T.. Times like that, you just have to deal..
