about lobby and ingame behavior

from Sins Forums

hey there guys, i have some concerns on how most of the 5s games or lobbies go, wich might ruin the game for newer/casual players.

first of all, most of the lobbies turn into trollfests because nobody likes to cap. normally two equally skilled players should step up here, but most of the time this takes hours because most guys are too afraid/selfish to cap because there might be a better player than themselves in the lobby. this can lead to stacked teams and isnt improving anyone, wich leads to a fear to cap. i think some players should accept that it is pretty hard to balance a 5s skillwise and instead of crying that a game is stacked, players should start to do their best to win the game and atleast hold their position vs a better player. you dont get better by beating weaker people.

also i want to adress the ingame behaviour. it seems that many players are looking too much on themselves. only because you got beaten in your aggro/suicide spot, doesnt mean the game is over. before you surrender, first look if the other fronts are winning or if you can buy them some time to help you in the end. talk to your team. too many times an aggro player leaves because it isnt looking good for him. also if you lose because a "noob" got rushed, dont start flaming that player. tell him how to improve or what to do next time so he will hold longer next time.

tldr: dont be afraid to cap if you are a better player in the lobby, you can only improve

       talk friendly to your mates, only because you lost your position doesnt mean the game is over

       help losing players by telling them what to do in their next games

 

p.s.: english isnt my native language so sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes.

The bigger problem is the low player count. I just spent two hours waiting for a 5v5 game to fill up because there was less than 100 players online.

Let's face it....the real issue is that no one wants to be blamed for picking the player that MDs first...or second....or third....

I just singlehandedly guided a PUG process in 2 minutes where the entire lobby was dead for like half an hour. That makes this post invalid. However, I played like utter shit in that game so I guess that was karma from the minidump gods...
