Yeah, no.
I had plenty of Skirmish matches over christmas and dom and ambush were more likely to be balanced.
Skirmish just draws the frustration out and brings Caldari scouts into play.
In dom I can do *something* in my own. In Skirmish, there's the inevitability of some random scout camping the objective that I'm trying to hack. They are all dampened to hell, using cloak and nova knives.
And I can't do anything against it because I'm only at level 2 skill for my scout. This means that I can't get cloaking and that my racial profile dampening is basically non-existent.
And the drop uplinks that I plant in corners, to guide blueberries into giving me reinforcement near the objectives, are now worthless due to bandwith because they prevent me from using REs, my only counter to other scouts.
I need dampened drop uplinks with low bandwith requirements.
Also, what the hell is up with the new orbital strikes?
As if the original ones weren't enough of an anti-comeback mechanic. Now the full proto teams grind their WP and destroy any counter.
Get a tank? Orbital strike.
Get a drop uplink and collect people? Orbital strike.
Got an actually competent sniper? Orbital strike.
It's the ultimate "**** you" to anyone who tries to turn the tide.
Hell, I got into the habit of doing suicides in a free suit if my team gets protostomped in ambush.
I sure as **** won't give those guys the chance to earn even more SP by swarming me with proto.
In addition, protostomping also prevents people from countering with their own expensive suits. Because why the hell would you waste money when you are alone against an organized squad?

Two skilled and coordinated teams fighting is the best kind of battle, I think. More than often though, it's players who seem like they just left Academy, versus experienced players with all prototype gear.
I hope you are aware that protos tend to be on the SAME team.
If you squad up, you are very likely to just encounter the stomp from the other side. Which is essentially farming.
This game has anti-balance for teams. |
