Frontlines sucks Ultra megathread

[Mawlzy]

personally as a solo player I do prefer direction in frontlines because there is just so much going on that it's hard for me to pick an optimal decision other than "stay with the pack or die". it is pretty exhilarating playing with a good shot-caller.

but yeah, I can absolutely tell when one of the opposing teams has a premade. they hit like a truck consistently over and over in ways that can't really happen unless they know each other already, or are using a (3rd party!) voice chat, and it's not great as someone who queues in solo. I prefer close games, I'll try my best but it's frustrating to just get absolutely bodied over and over because I had the "misfortune" of ending up on a team with a bunch of strangers who don't know each other.

Like, I play DRG and only DRG in pvp, all of my attack options are selfish, I basically exist to be a sniper rifle picking off people who stray from the pack. I'm not sure what else I can be doing in that situation if a coordinated group just bowls all of us over and kills us seemingly instantly?

The standard advice I've received is "get friends, form your own premade," which is as condescending as it is arrogant. I guess the good news is that, as a DRG, you are useful to a DRK+ premade when you land on their team. Unfortunately, assuming a single premade in a match, that only happens 29% of the time.

To be fair, if you are playing to farm wins then I don't see why you wouldn't try and find/make a premade to do them with. Not saying it's an absolute requirement to do so, but getting friends or just randoms who also care about getting wins shouldn't be incredibly hard to find.

I don't play to farm wins. I play to enjoy competitive matches. Or did. I've currently joined the ranks of the daily one-and done.
