No. I don't like CC.

Bit of a disclaimer: I'm no PvP master. I admit that a lot of the losses I've had are my fault, despite me trying changes to lessen the losses (i.e. get enemy team health bars near hotbars, turn off battle effect, etc.), and that PvP's likely not for me.

With that said, holy crap I hate CC.

Whenever I play Ranked or Casual, no matter the time of day, 8/10 I'm with other players who think that "run around like a headless chicken " or "focus on enemy players, forget about the stupid crystal" is a good strategy, and I end up getting swarmed by the other team's players, even if I'm not a job that's considered OP, and I'm sick of it.

Why bother with PvP if I'm having a hard time? For the GARO event and Rank 25 rewards.

I got into the game right as the 1st GARO event was coming to an end, and I had hoped that I would get another chance someday. When I heard that it was finally coming back, I hoped that the requirements for getting the gear/mounts would be easier, as last time I tried & failed to get through Feast with only one win. Unfortunately that wasn't the case, and I hoped that I would at least be paired up with players who weren't as good like me after a while. Either "players who weren't as good like me" becomes "players that don't care about the game mode", or I just have bad luck, because all of my CC matches have been as Umbra, and I almost always end up with possibly the worst kind of team one can get.

Frontline, on the other hand, is right around 50/50. Sure, there's times where I'm on an Alliance where the players go anywhere and no one is calling out where to go or what to do (I'm certainly no leader so I never tried), but there are times when I have either a winning game or get close to one, but end up losing either cause of being out of time or the other team(s) being better. Heck, I managed to get the Frontline GARO mount recently.

Sadly, while CC and I apparently don't mix, I can't say that I have a solution for it. I don't know how to determine who's cheating/ a bot/ very good at the mode aside from comparing wins/assists to their losses. I also refuse to join in on the cheating because it would never work out (even if I knew how to hack), and I can't "get gud" because as far as I know, there's no preparing for what kind of player you may meet.

Ultimately, with how upset I've been getting every time I try CC, I'm strongly leaning towards leaving the mode behind until GARO nearly ends again, and just do Daily Frontline stuff instead. Will I miss out on the Rank 25 gear? Maybe not, I heard it'll go to the Trophy Crystal merchant's list of wares after 6.18, so that may be what I need to do.

TL;DR, I despise CC for multiple reasons, I can't determine how to turn it around, & since I'm not having fun, my only option is to stop playing it before I explode.

Honestly, if PvP goes to crap again as it apparently did before 6.0, I wouldn't care less.
