In terms of PVP the reason Mael is doing so well is because it's full of people who regularly PVP and those that do call outs to guide the team.

Flames and Adders will have times where a Premade group joins them and can decimate Mael if they're on their A-game.

It's no secret that most people are going to Mael to get these wins, BUT many expect to be carried and Mael absolutely hates that. So much so that people that those people cost us games when they don't do anything or don't listen.

Frontlines is a whole is an unbalanced mess just on the idea that the third team can either win you the game or cost it for you based on what they do. For example if Mael and Adder are constantly fighting and Flames are attacking Adder to get 2nd then it's giving Mael the game. On the other end if Flames are attacking Mael it could lead Adder to the win if they take advantage of it.

The best you can do for your team is have your map open, point out node spawns, and keep track of who has the highest score. If you're Third playing passive is losing you the game, you need to act and pinch when they're fighting and kill the team that's winning, get your team Battle Highs and play on the offensive.

If you're gonna be pinched by both teams back out and play defensive. Let them fight each other and you can either cap a new point or pick them off from the side. You don't want to stand there in the middle of it if both teams are on your sides.

I played mainly on Adder and have Freelanced with Flames multiple times, people don't listen to calls or pay attention and that's what does everyone in. If you want to be active and help your team with the little things you'll see better results then rushing in blindly and probably being farmed.
