Having your team always filled with the noobs that dont team play or fail to realize there are no spawns left. Having the blue in your team play dust like its cod.
And when you want to simply have fun, there is always that scout !
Scout's appear to be OP because they generally require either an undivided attention or team work. It's easier to scout than to counter scout essentially especially since they win the Ewar. Not really anything to be done about that except that scouts have diminishing returns when your team is coherent.
That said the real perpetrator these days more than anything is just the high level of terrible players. And I'm not even talking gun play, I'm talking people giving up/farming isk/being actually stupid. Leaving objectives on Dom when they have been captured, hiding in your red line, spreading out across entire maps when the enemy is focused on the majority of objectives, etc. I get more upset with the team I get placed with than anything.
You can improve things by working in squads of competent players, but there is always a chance that your 6 will be fighting 10-16 competent players while only having 0-2 competent players on your team outside of your squad. When that happens, you're gonna have a bad time...
This happens in all team based games, if you play battlefield games/team fortress/battlefront/insert team game, and your team is awful you will be awful as well as you will get double/triple/quadrupled teamed while your teammates can't pull their weight. You rarely can carry your team and make up for the 5 guys going 0/16, unless the enemy has some guys going 0/16 as well.
This game has become far more balanced then I have ever seen it, I may dislike a tactic but all tactics generally have a counter these days, unlike past builds where it often took one type of suit/vehicles to kill the same suit/vehicle. Scouts are much easier to deal with if you have a mass driver on your team nearby or tote one yourself, it just won't matter if its you're carrying a mass driver vs. a heavy hmg + rep logi, shotgun scout, and some assault troops with a back up aver. Teamwork can wreck any lone wolf mentality. |
