When I'm lone wolfing, I can usually tell whether or not my team is going to win based on the actions of the rest of my team mates in the opening minute or two of the match. Also, unless your putting up 20+ kills a game with that sniper rifle you are part of the problem.
Don't base how useful a sniper is based on number of kills. If they're going straight up hunt and kill then yeah, obviously kills matter, but if you're sniping in area denial mode, you're more likely to get more kill assists than straight kills. For a kill you need to get a headshot (and sometimes even that doesn't do it) but just hitting and taking down shields makes targets evade at which point the sniper often can't track them quickly enough to get a kill, but it makes it easier for a friendly to get a kill.
I'm not saying that redline sniping isn't part of the problem (regardless of how many kills the get) just that you shouldn't judge a sniper by kill count alone.
When I play as a sniper, I'm more likely to be nearer to the opponents redline than my own.

Damn, those CCP guys are clever. Writing matchmaking code that can put all the losers on one side and all the winners on the other side, every single time, can't be easy.
Now I'm hoping they do a tournament bracket system while solo queing.

Would help your team a lot, and possibly change the tide of battles. Or could make things worse. If a drop uplink is placed in the wrong place, it becomes a camping spot for the opposing team to wipe out your entire clone reserve (Yes ,I am exaggerating, I know) Plus, not everyone has skills for drop uplinks or logi suits. Or vehicles.
I hate this approach. Everyone can use uplinks. Militia equipment is fine for ambush. My guys are ordered to spawn an uplink the first time. Ambush is a broken turd.

I thought this week would be bad due to the 5x thing but instead I had the most enjoyable games in a while last night. A couple even went down to the wire with the losing side coming back for the win. There was also almost no tank spam. That was disappointing since I fitted an AV logi just for the occasion. |
