I find this amusing, because I've heard the exact same thing (even down to almost being the exact same wording) spoken about both Mael and Adders.

I've yet to see one GC or another consistently win out in terms of "smart" gameplay. I've seen Adders tunnel focus a team so hard they've ended a match with 0 points. I've seen Mael blatantly allow a GC to back cap them on A's and S's just so they could keep fighting over a B. I wish I could say either of these kinds of things are rare, but they aren't. I don't think there's such a thing as a team that doesn't make stupid mistakes when it's a mash up of 24 random people. Pre-mades can help groups be "less stupid," but, outside of that, all I see is 72 monkeys running around throwing poop at one another, while the odd 2 or 3 try to get them on point.

If there's something unique about Flames stupidity, it's that we have a lot of new players, bots, and eso farmers (who are also sometimes bots), which is probably why are ques are only 5 minutes... but even then, the win/lose ratio I've been averaging doesn't seem to suggest that Flames make any more or less mistakes than Adders or Mael, and there's nothing unique about the kinds of stupid mistakes they all tend to make.
