in most pub matches its less about strategy and more about the zerg. The Zerg wins all. Well, that is unless the other team's zerg is faster/strong than your zerg.

You really only see people defending points from teams who actually know what they're doing. Point defense is a boring job. Sometimes nobody will come to your objective for half a match so you spend it twiddling your thumbs waiting to pounce. Most people find that boring and just want to be high up on the kill board rather than securing a victory.

I like point defense but I'll generally pick a point that's high traffic rather than outlying point.

Quick question. If the goal of skirmish is to hold the most null cannons for a period of time, and reds will without question try to hack said null cannons, why do very few people actually defend null cannons? I don't understand why people think that going in a group of 12 for 1 objective at a time is necessary. Now I fancy myself relatively competent, but usually I'm the only line of defense when said trucks of 10 reds come riding up on my point. I may be able to take out 3-6 of them tops before being overwhelmed, but if there were just 1 or 2 more players with me, that point would damn near impenetrable.

I find it much easier to play Home Alone and work to keep out invaders on my own familiar ground, but I'm starting to feel crazy for trying. Should I really keep throwing away my suits defending a point my team doesn't care enough to look over? Should I just walk around with the other blues in the eternal conga line of hacking? I swear I'm going to write something positive on here soon, but these past few days have been rooooough.

Because I'm trying to hit my cap for the week and would rather lose with 2000 wp than win with 1500.

trying to defend and not attack normally ends up in u being overrun.and slaughtered at the very end.

but it would be nice to some ppl go for and try to defend points a little more. its rather strange to be slaughtering the other team yet have none of the objectives in a skirmish match. makes u wonder where your own teams at.
