Sorry I just realized I wrote AST two times and it was actually RDM in team 1 instead, but same shit. Even worst actually.

My team (1), DRG, SGE, RDM, BLM, MCH

But it doesn't change anything.

You've been getting queues? they'ev been super dead this week unfortunately. been trying to slowly rise in ranks and they''ve just completely stopped

Either team could have won easily. Both teams had jobs with good burst and control.

[Valence]

That's a pretty good joke

That's a pretty good joke

Please explain then?

Team 1 with a DRG, SGE, RDM, BLM, MCH. You have 2 jobs with extremely strong burst with DRG and MCH and RDM while not super bursty, will nuke you if you're not paying attention AND it has an aoe debuff and a line aoe silence and BLM can wreak havoc on a heavy melee team with its ice spam.

Team 2 is heavier on the melee side, so yes they can dive easier and cause a heavy snowball depending on the map, but they also have to expose themselves and be much more aggressive which can easily go against them with the other team having equally similar burst and more jobs with CC.

Team 2 has a slight advantage due to being able to be more aggressive, but realistically both team compositions have a strong chance of winning. The problem is a lot of people that play ranged don't really play them correctly. They tend to be too skittish and don't engage when they should and run away too early leading to the team being too scattered and making it easy for a heavy melee team to confirm kills. In the reverse a competent group of ranged players will make a dive team chase and easily cause team 2 to overextend leading to easy kills.

If I was on team 1 I wouldn't feel like the match was immediately lost before the fight even starts, especially if its a group of competent ranged players. Even if it was a group of skittish ranged players I could play that to my advantage and secure my own kills to someone staying in the backline while the melee run around chasing people. There are so many wild scenarios here and I just don't see one team immediately dominating the other team on composition alone.
