Statistically speaking, on average it should take 200 matches, which isn't so bad.

However...


I don't share this to boast, so much as to say it is quite possible for a single individual in RW or FL to make a big difference, even if you always solo queue (like I do). RW is largely a strategic affair.

In my opinion the three key things that make you win:

1) Map awareness
Be keenly aware of what is going on the map in terms of where your team is, who is on the offence and defence in key areas, what are the objective timers. You have to be dynamic and be willing to constantly reposition. Being good at objectives is key; know how to bully people at mercs, at the train, know when a fight is a lost cause and get out.

2) Support your mechs, mercs, mammets and gobtanks (and cannons)
Know how each mech is used. Chip down enemy vehicles and protect your own. If no one is meching up, mech up yourself. Know how to play them all. Don't suicide your CCs or BJs needlessly, and know where to implement them. CCs for example are not very useful around enemy towers, but they are good at protecting your own towers or your opps. Of course, rules exist to be broken, and sometimes suiciding a BJ on the enemy core is the right call.

3) Make good use of your time
Going with the first point, got to evaluate what really is important at a given time on a map. Like, I am sure you can chase that poor enemy bard under her tower... but you really should see if you could be doing something constructive like helping to push your mammets, taking the merc, gather ceruleum if you need it, etc.

As someone who is almost always playing tank if not a healer, it brings me great joy when like 10 ppl are being idiots and chasing me around our tower. That's 10 people doing nothing constructive with their time while 23 other people on my team are probably ransacking their tower. Similarly, as a tank, at the start I will often block a lot of ceruleum pick-ups at the start, even if I can't get them myself, since it just wastes a lot of enemy time and forestalls their operations. If 5 people want to chase me around and achieve nothing that's fine by me.


Just a little advice. For the most part team composition doesn't matter too much in RW and you can play your best job here. A balanced composition is less important here than other PvP modes due to the strength of mechs and map mechanics. Everyone has something useful they can be doing.
