Shatter

[AdamZ]

You keep arguing like the individual player and what they think and/or want to do matters when they have 23 teammates. That's all nice and well on paper but it just doesn't work that way in a real game, at least not most of the time.
Shatter in and of itself allows PuGs to play it the way it's played more often than not, thus the mode definitely is at fault, or rather SE for designing it that way. How it can be played doesn't matter in the slightest.

So you want 1v1 PvP only? All the TEAM based PvP will relay on your teammates...

And truth, your random PuGs actually are more likely to chase kills then ice (and in the process kill themselves). There are titles tied to kills, there are no titles tied to ice damage.
