Frontlines sucks Ultra megathread

[ElHeggunte]

'Tis but the hope of a simple fool that SE will ever do something (anything!) about the ridiculous Frontline metas. I queue up and will always try my best all the same no matter what I'm up against, but constantly running into cancerous gameplay that has nearly zero counterplay is taxing on the soul. We should have let Emet-Selch win because the Ancients wouldn't put up with this.

I still want an mode where kills dont matter, only the captures. As long as the third team might feed the second kills, you will always face of way too many battle high players...

I'm curious, in a PvP mode, so how would you plan to capture anything without the kills?

They can probably add a 'down for the count' mechanic you see in PvE (and possible a knockback mechanic on top of top of that) to keep folks from doing anything else while objectives are collected. That's just my guess.
Whatever it is though I can't imagine frontline being frontlines without the kills. I can't imagine frontlines being chaotic without the kills. Just saying.

Regardless, I'm not sure what this accomplishes to begin with. Majority of the time an alliance's main source of points comes purely from objectives. As long as the A and S rank objectives exist everyone is going to focus on dumping bodies right on top of it the moment it appears. The only ones who most likely can finish their games with majority of the points being from kills in the alliance are premades, and even then, they struggle to pull this off alone in their dominating game.

Yoshi-P made it possible to not win at the game, so no.

I know, right? I mean, don't get me wrong, personally I prefer to have objectives -style PvP over "last man standing" , however, why did past echoes of being on FL teams saying "just let them fight" come to mind. That never ended well.

I need to be a troll for 2 seconds.

Based off the recent threads that's been popping up, I have to ask...if players are willing to let others slide with AFKing and intentional feeding in frontlines why are they so quick to report others for folks jumping on dead player's bodies? Like...I have to ask.

I also do need to ask...how often would that behavior pop up if premades were removed completely? I mean, I'm already convinced that they'll somehow get cut before hacking gets solved truth be told and other problems that are out there.

[JuicyHeals]

The behavior would most definitely still be there often enough. Though without the presence of premades it wouldn't be such a slaughter. as for the other part, pure ego.

[Sinstrel]

Let's say they somehow create a perfect way to stop all pre-mades and que syncing, and get rid of DRK salted earth, block job stacking, perfectly cap AoE to 5 targets just the way thats perfect for you, and completely remove "win trading"...

What happens when the same players being accused of all of these things still stomp every match with game knowledge, map awareness and synergy with other veteran PvPers who they've matched with over and over for years?

Humor me.
