Edit: so there is a reward for playing well?

Edit edit: nevermind, just looked over your other posts, Firemage, you never have anything serious to say about anything. You would never attempt a discussion, you only deliver a pithy one-liner, then smoke-bomb out of the discussion. I repeat my original thesis: There is no ingame reason to actually keep trying to win a match if it looks like your team is gonna lose. I am so tired of people going afk in base after they rush the enemies and die once, but there is no penalty for them doing that, and there is no reward for me to not do that.

Could we have some perk for being the only person on the team who actually tries?

The only good reward for playing well would be to be able to carry a game, not be a complete coinflip with teammates.

The reward for playing well is the increase of your rank and more currency.

Okay, but what about matches where it's obvious that your team will not win? Why still play well? You get nothing for being the best player on the losing team.

Or more accurately, my biggest complaint is that the worst player on the winning team gets infinitely more rewarded than the best player on the losing team, and the game frequently picks VERY unfair teams.

That's how competitive team PvP is. You have that in every PvP game and you can't "fix" that issue.

Sometimes you lose and sometimes the other team wins.

You have to play many round's to make statistics work in your favour.
But when you really play better then everyone else then eventually you will rank higher and win more.

Okay. But why attempt to play well when things are going badly?

You still keep trying.

It won't happen all the time, but I have seen CC matches clawed back from having the crystal halfway into the team's goal circle.
