Especially when you guys come in with 6-12 members and 2 or 3 tanks/ads? I dont understand the mentallity of people stomping pub matches, then crying about lack of competition... maybe tone down the proto and vehicle spam and you'll find decent matches.. We don't sync pub matches. Never have. FW yes, pubs no. BUT we are very active and it happens that we run into each other on the same side from time to time. Some of my corp mates have great matches all the time. Perhaps me having 60 mil SP just puts me with the crappiest players in the history of video games??
Some people just really enjoy solo play, have you ever considered that. I don't know what kind of life you live but when I get home after a 13hour workday and decide that tonight is the night I will shoot things for 2 hours, take a guess at how much I feel like communicating with a squad of 5 others and be the best out there.
I adopted a solo play style that works well enough. But now factor in the matchmaking system. I can't recall how often I've come up versus a squad of say 4 Prima Gallicus dudes who also have on their team, a Rainbow Effect guy, 2 What The French players and one or two Maphia Clan or Italian Hunters.
How depressing is this, when you realise your entire team consists of random people with no big names around. I'm not saying you can't win but it's gonna be damn hard - communication vs complete unawareness. Even if I squad up with the people on my side, we are not a built squad, so to speak. We could be 1 GalScout and 5 random assaults or militia heavies. The corps who take 4-6 into a game are built around each other. What hope do I have with my team of beating you if your already awesome proto heavy with his Logi friend is using the shared passive scans from the proto Cal Scout. I could try sneaking up but really, it won't work. And even if we manage that we're still up against better gear and more importantly better players.
Your communication then allows you to adapt quickly to defeat - even if you all die you'll talk about who is gonna get a dropship up to point X so you can then rain havoc on the objective, or get others back into the match faster. We're always up against a tide that pushes us down faster than we can swim up.
If you want proper resistance, just run militia fits in Pubs and see if it matters. You'll probably still win but you're evening the odds a little more. But don't cry when the other team has a full squad proto stomping. |
