Good posts, Aythreuk. Think I'll salute you.
I like the game. It's fun. But you know what's NOT fun? Losing against a stacked team, going 0-5 in a really quick, really unbalanced game, after waiting forever for the many empty spots on my team to fill up...while the opposing team stayed full...because everyone wants to be on the stacked, winning team. Could've played sooner, had a more challenging game (for both sides), if even a few of the stacked-team members would've trickled over to my team. Maybe they were all friends? That's cool. Friends don't like to compete against each other SOMEtimes? Maybe they do. Maybe they didn't want to THAT time...or any of the other various times I've seen the stacks. But what are new players meant to think, when that's what they have to play against? Pretty sure many of them would think you guys just enjoy steamrolling noobs.
One or two of you have said you learn best from playing against stacked teams. Good job. Maybe I'll feel the same way when I'm not so new. But for the time being, I don't feel like I'm learning anything when my team gets pummeled 5 minutes into the match. Zero fun. Zero learning. Just left wondering what went wrong. Zero answers. However, when I played in an evenly balanced match, I learned so much! It was the best experience I've had since I started playing this game. Too bad the majority of the matches I'm in aren't like that...
Seriously, though, if I was a veteran, and I was on a stacked team of friends, I'd go to the other side and take a couple friends with me. Makes it balanced, makes it fun for everyone involved. Get to kick other friends' asses and poke fun at them for losing against my noob team. There's more than one way to have fun with friends...
Not asking for a free win...that's boring. Not asking to be babysat. Asking for a fun challenge, not a seriously quick and unfair bashing.
