The Frontlines Premade issue has not been fixed.

[JustNaes]

Here is why you get lumped into a giant group of wonderful people. Maybe you can contain yourselves and do PvP and also the objectives of the match. A polling of people who have seen premades and have been in premades, MO is farm kills. Don't kill drones, don't secure nodes, don't shatter ice just farm players till the game is over. They don't actually seem to care if they win or lose just get as many kills as possible. It actually isn't so bad on Crystal not sure what its like on others. They are the first to complain that other things give points besides kills and first to blame the losing team for not being blood thirsty enough. As if random match ups are fair, we didn't have bad healers today we had multiple games with 3,2 and a couple with 1 today.

You can win anyway you want. Doesn't change the fact frontlines is an objective based pvp mode, not a kill based pvp mode. PvP doesn't mean kill it means players not competing vs AI. That does not belittle the other PvE objective. If we are all hitting the ice it is still PvP we all get a score. One side wasn't controlled by an AI to score against you.

Kind of want to point out two things there:

First there are different types of premades: The premades that coordinate objectives only and avoid confrontation, the premade the balanced confrontation and objective, and the premade that focuses on number padding and seeing how high their healing/damage goes.

I fall somewhere between the first and second when leading my group. I play the game as intended and I don't woflstomp through sheer kills because that's one of the worst things to do to newer players.

I know several groups and leaders who crush PUGs with just pure killing because its the most fun way to play the game. I don't condone it, but its a valid strat. 10 points for every kill. -5 points for every death. They can literally take the points earned from objective only groups by just slaughtering them. My premade has been crushed before by the sheer overwhelming force of power and I do agree, it makes you feel helpless and agitated.

My point is you shouldn't lump all premades into a huge murder-train squadron of people. Some really like the army leading/follow aspect and making strategic decisions to win games.
