Tips on dealing with premades in frontlines.

The part that bothers me the most is the big carrot on a stick for pushing to do frontlines at the moment requires solo queuing which somehow lures premades to come out in force...

feels like frontlines should be knocked down to 2 teams and just has 3rd base as contested territory

Honestly I think restricting FL to parties of 4 would be reasonable. But that (with variable numbers) has been suggested since the dawn of time and SE doesnt want to do it, apparently, so whatever.

"wahhh, premade wont let me queue with them" guy: has it occured to you that premades are probably groups of friends queuing together? Maybe the problem is that you arent interested in pvp at all, and said premade isnt interested in picking up (entitled) people who just want a shortcut to the newest ADS reskin?

100 wins isnt supposed to be a short-term goal, suck up the the 1:3 win rate. That or post in general, where you'll get more sympathy.

You don’t need to solo queue for the achievement and mount. I’ve got 60 wins towards both and I never solo queued.
Teaming up isn’t a bad thing guys. Just get some friends to go do it with.
I honestly just started to get more people to play with because I was sick of the bots.

The new ads mount is just there because SE massively increased the time requirements of getting the old ADS mounts by reducing the times seal rock and shatter are available. They also made the specific achievements for each mode harder to get, too. And usually matchmaking in competitive games balances premades versus other premades, but this one doesn't. Not everyone has people interested in pvping enough to make an 8 stack, which is what you need to influence a match.

step 1 - cry
step 2 - roll over
step 3 - cry some more
step 4 - lose horribly
step 5 - requeue and repeat at step 1

I completely disagree. I think its refreshing to be able to play something other than Shatter. I queued up last night (Seal Rock) and had a blast, even though my Duty Finder groups didn't win once.

I agree, I like the change. It's nice getting 72 man matches again after so long of just 24. Also seeing 72 secure is nice. I started right when Slaughter was introduced and never once got it until now.

Just so you know, you could queue up for others things other than shatter before the switch this last patch. That was your choice. Now, we don't have a choice on which duty to go in during the day. Its always a different one. Before, we could choose which to go in. one of the 3 that were available all the time. So yea, just saying, the choice was there. you didn't "have" to play shatter all the time.

You did if you wanted to actually get in a game. Otherwise, you'd sit in a never ending queue that would never pop. This is why people like Lace would have to go out of their way to organize specific days for Seal Rock.
