Frontline Kinda Sucks

[Jettinson]

Maybe this an unpopular opinion, but personally I think Frontlines is at it's best when there is minimal organization, or at best organic cooperation. It's just big, stupid, sloppy fun. Open a map and see where people are going. No pressure to play certain jobs or perform well, just play a different job every match and do your best. The battles tend to be more of a struggle and, in my opinion, more interesting. When I'm 100% bored of the game I know I can still play frontlines and get some enjoyment out of it.

It is not unpopular opinion on slugfest/zerg without much thought/organization and I can agree as I sometimes do that (heck i miss old Shatter as it was fun to see small group fight near cliffs, sometimes whole alliances would just duke it out there)but current FL is honestly a snoozefest if your team does not have ways to take down melees unless they play stupid and dive to deep or heavy burst or heavy CC.
I can still get some kills as ranged/caster or even do decent but man, I do not bother wasting my time slapping a melee alone unless I know I can bait into a gank squad.

Also I want to try playing in NA or Asia DCs just to have a better taste on their situation but the delay honestly hurts so bad

I was trying so hard to grind out my last couple of ranks to get to 25 tonight. That lasted all of two games as a DRK/AST premade just rolled in and wipe everyone without a sweat. I haven't had a win in Frontlines in a month and have been stuck at 4/10 of this silver GARO mount. It's just not a fun experience and so poorly balanced that SE should actually be ashamed of the mode.

I'm literally just picturing groups on discord, making call outs through their cheeto-infested bracers and talking about how bad their pwning the unorganized randos.

I have played more than 3400 Frontline Games. Yes, it's true. Frontline got worse over time.
But I can assure you, you will get all the Mounts available in Frontlines.
You just have to be more patient than you had to be in the past.

As for Battle High.
For me, this thing regulates itself.
As soon as I lose half of my hard earned Battle High because of 1 kill I stop farming it.
The reason. First, it's just frustrating to lose half of the points. Second, you almost can't recover from the loss. And I barely see many Player with full Battle High.
Maybe, just maybe, they are feeling the same way.

I agree, Square is long overdue in balancing FL separately from CC.

One small suggestion, I noticed that you were trying to grind out some levels in one night. From what I've seen that can get quite frustrating for people, whereas it's much easier if it's either spread-out or several months or done in combination with CC.

On Primal whenever I do a premade group as a DRG we always play versus Monks that just insta Meteodrive me and the other premades after we LB/pull nonstop in the entire match to shut us down. It's a slimeball strat but works wonders if your team can follow up.
