Is it just me: Frontline

[Trevski]

Is it just me that doesn't take Frontline serious? Like this is a legit question. People ask for balance in frontline, upset they aren't winning, making guides, etc.

I'll be honest with you when I care to play I still never took it seriously, it was just great chaos. Balance wasn't a question to me, coordination was the only thing that mattered. Trying to get a whole alliance to follow you was good fun. It's was good exp and a little fun even if I died. Never a test of skill.

People toss out 'serious' like it's supposed to be a pejorative word or something.

I'd argue they're also confusing 'serious' with 'enjoying the game mode.' I don't get why it is such a horrible thing to try and educate players or encourage good habits.

Imagine if in a game of Uno (which is 'unserious') someone explains to a new player that you shouldn't just toss a Reverse Card out, but to try and save it for a more important situation.

Then another person at the table pops off asking why the person explaining things is taking Uno so seriously. Same vibes.

You can enjoy the game mode like how you described without trying to put people who enjoy the game mode on blast.

Ps. IDC how long you played or how good you are.

What's the point of this, beyond trying to be inflammatory in your totally genuine 'I'm just asking questions' post?

Is it competitive though? Sure your fighting against teams but there isn't structure to promote competitive interaction.

You're competing with 2 other teams to reach a set goal before them. It is literally a competition. I have a feeling you're conflating 'competitive' as used in say, an esports context or something similar with the literal meaning of the word 'competitive', which is understandable in a gaming context.
