    I just think FL would be a lot more fun if everyone queued in with the mindset of "I want to win!" instead of "Is there a premade in here? Can I just run it down and lose faster?".

    I don't expect the general mindset to change, but it would be nice if people actually tried their best rather than phone it in for exp.

    Or maybe if they put as much effort into organizing their own premade as they do coming on the forums to complain about them, they might get that competitive matches they pine for. If I actually gave a damn about this mode as the people here seem to, then that's obviously what I'd do.

    What's more, I rarely see anyone provide a solution to the problem rather than just talking about how horridly unfair it all is. This thread reads like a goth girl's diary. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing but being a mood rather than constructive isn't going to solve a problem. A goth girl is happy with her misery. lmao

    Lots of solutions have been presented, including matchmaking and queue separation. Rather than a goth girl's diary, those of us who feel the mode could be improved by such measures are using this thread in a probably futile attempt to catch the devs eye. That's kinda what the forum is for. To lobby for changes to make our experience better.

    It's just a bunch of people complaining about bullies lmao..that's all this is. Anytime you want to you can get a posse together and go after em in that game mode. A lot of the PVP communities I've been a part of in the past policed themselves in similar ways. If I have a problem with a person in CC, it's solved in CC. It doesn't find it's way to the forums. Meanwhile you and a few other people are just going after people making pre-mades like some gossiping sewing circle. I got second hand embarrassment from reading it at times. I genuinely don't think that's what the forums are for.

    Apparently you haven't understood the main themes of the thread at all. I'll get back to my embroidery.

    I just noticed your sig and I think that's a dose of irony right there lol if you fancy yourself a rebellious sort, why not resist the oppressive overlords that are exerting a monopoly over the FL playground or whatever? I would be playing the mode and punishing them every chance I got if it bothered me half as much as it seems to bother you. I think that's what a resistance would do.

    I'm the diplomatic officer of the resistance. Isadora handles battlefield decisions. Kitty makes the sandwiches, and so on.

    Again, I suggest you're missing key points. Premades create boring matches and apathy. I like interesting ones. I'm not going to lower myself to their level and play a premade to counter them. I dislike the playstyle.

    yes that and on shatter not having whole team be all over the map like chickens giving both enemy teams free points and free 1st/2nd
    and your team "shocker" lowscore third with 2 or 3 ppl only actually putting an effort to win
    shame lowscore third isnt removed
    this is about pugs btw not premades as i only do 1 daily FL a day

    I'd suggest if you're only playing one match a day, you have less data than those of us that play far more than that, and can get a better feel for game texture with and without premades. I share your frustration with people who don't try, but would argue they have been "beaten into" that despondency, to use Olivia's charming terms, by the oppressive presence of premades.

    That isn't pure speculation, incidentally, you see that precise reason given in chat.

    yes thats true but whats data got to do with this?
    last season/s ive grinded to last 2 series level 25s for the mounts and ive had plenty of lowscore third losses with ppl who dont even try/want tomes or free exp for no reason
    very few 1st places and few second places which happened because the third team either overextended or lost one skirmish over a node then we ganked them back to their spawn(seal rock seize?)
    regardless of statistics or whatnot its still annoying to have people who dont even try to win in your team
