Crystal Conflict is infuriating

[Krotoan]

I don't understand what they were thinking or why they continue to not allow chat in PvP. I get it's to stop toxicity. But it helps nothing for coordination.

I have played more PVP in the past week than I have in literal years combined. CC is great quick games and easy to understand objectives.


What are you having trouble communicating that you need anything other than the quick-chat for? .. I'mma bet you feel you need to "embellish" your responses to emphasize the urgency right? Or yell at people for not doing what you said?


And that.. is why we have no chat.

Having no way to tell somebody to stop attacking the tank that is eating your damage isn't a great system. Nor is just watching as your team continues to do so while the DPS and Healers are burning peopel down left and right because your team mates have NO idea what they are doing.

If people aren't paying attention to a 1 floating over the targets actual head, what makes you think they'd listen to you?

True. But this is just another reason why the solo queue system is bad

[VirusOnline]

Every game with ranked you need to crawl through the mediocrity to get to higher ranks where people start to actually 'try'.

TLDR : Duty Roulette on mute

Well without it premades would dominate and no one would bother trying if they do queue alone.

Not if there's a premade queue. Simple as that. but not being able to TEACH people who they should and shouldn't be attacking leads to an infuriating system for people who know what they are supposed to do. While the people who don't continue to hold their teams back. And since you can't outright tell people, they'll continue ot do so thinking they are doing things right when they aren't. Other games and the communication they allow leads to team play. This doesn't. It's a free for all masquerading as a team comp mode. Except for the instances where the enemy team is full of competent people playing against that ONE guy who knows what they should be doing.

I dunno.. I been having a blast. WHEE!


My point being that the lack of teamwork is not going to be fixed by giving people the capability to yell at others.

Who said anything about yell. How do you teach people who to properly attack and how to play the mode if you can't outright talk to them. At all.

You can't. Which leads to everyone flailing around who is new and thinks it's just neat to queue in. Meanwhile hurting the others who do know. I JUST had a team target a tank after I had a healer marked. They sat there and did nothing to him while the rest of the neemy team wiped them up one by one. FUN! WEEEEE

Because given the option, people will "yell" at everyone and blame everyone. Example: Every competitive game with chat.... ever.
