    4vs4 medals math

    Some of real situations I was in which resulted in loses because of medals mismanagement. Who should take the medals in these cases?

    1) A tank has 150 medals and enemy team drops 50 more. However it has players famous for easy killing 4 stacks (200 medals) tanks every match. Should a tank take 4 stacks and die later? Or let dps/healer take 1 stack (they'll drop only 75 when killed which is still better than tank's 100).

    2) A tank took 2 stacks (100+50+25 from kills) and enemy team drops 50 more. He uses Get medals! macro but a team ignores it. 1 second left before medals will be returned to enemy team. Should he take 175+50=225=7 stacks and likely die or let medals be returned when his team is losing already? A lose/lose situation.

    3) A team has 550 medals (200 tank, 150 ranged, 150 melee, 50 healer) and enemy team drops 25 more. However 50 healer can't pick them up because he died and waiting for respawn. Who should pick up these 25? (It's amazing how many 575 score games were ultimatelly lost when we needed just one more kill for 600 and match end).

    1) If a team is known for easily killing a 4-stack tank, let DPS or healer take the stack; healer if they're getting close to OOM because they'll be at an advantage in both respects; they'll have 75 medals vs 50 and they'll have full MP

    2) Lose the stack unless that will get you the win and you're 30s left with a couple of cooldowns available.

    3) Pull back and regroup, let the stack go back to the other team; you're still in a winning position.

    1. Depends usually everyone can easily kill a 4stack tank however I would leave the stack to a MNK if u dont have one tho I would just take it if u arent sure. Alot of dps panic with 1stack and are unable to do anything (maybe pop b4b lul)+ die. Depends also on timer and cooldowns.

    2. Depends if there is only 30sec left or smth and u get the lead with it risk it I guess otherwise dont take it.

    3. Give the 25medals to a MNK ez 2stacks if u dont have one the person who can handle pressure the most should take it without chat you cant really tell that.
