It doesn't take much to go from daily rouletter to effective player. Literally follow the commander, burst with your team, leave with your team. Harder without one though, but then again I've seen more and more commanders popping up and they're all not bad and I've seen more and more people following them.

I can really only see more premades as a good thing. That's more people wanting to win and makes it harder to dodge competent players, so the cycle continues.

Adapt, die, or quit I guess :/
