Is this a statistical anomaly? Or something else?

Ok seriously anyone has an answer as to why Maelstrom is so freaking strong in frontline? This is making me want to pull my hair off seriously.

It might be a very, VERY bad streak, but on 9 games today, mael won 8 of them and most of the time by a large margin... (i'm on TA)
They seem to always have a balanced team, always coordinate their attack and move at the split seconds an ice spawn.

It doesn't help that the Flames are a total joke and dont seem to have a brain. Always attacking and preventing TA to do anything while Mael has total control of the ices... Even when mael has the lead with a LOT of points, what do Flames do? the most logical thing to do of course, attack TA spawn...

Wouldn't it be more likely to get placed in a certain team if there's nobody really queueing with that team? If Flames have a reputation for always losing, it stands to reason that people may be avoiding queueing freelancer/joining Flames and PVPing because they don't want to be with the perceived losers. But Flames still needs to have a team the same size as Adders/Mael, so the freelancers are always going to get pulled there.

On chaos mael wins mostly because they are opportunist and have no fear of doing some actual pvp, i did some freelancer pvp with few ex-static members last weekend and this was really obvious when going against mael. Both adders and immortal on chaos is filled with cowards compared to mael so that is the main reason they lose/gets roflstomped, so if that doesn't get "fixed" mael will keep dominating. Mael gets its share of crappy matches but it is way more rare compared to adders and immortal, adders are good second but oh boy immortal is kinda lost cause already.

Actually the worse thing is that mael wins a lot because flames have absolutely 0 tactical awarness and 0 clue how to play this mode it seems.

Lets say mael is leading with 1200 point, adders second with like 1000 and flames are third, who are flames going to attack? ADDERS OBVIOUSLY.

ALL. THE. TIME.

They always focus adders for some reasons, bacisally allowing mael a free win.

At times it feels like they are teaming up on purpose with the intend of making adders lose.

I've seen both team raid adders spawn at the same time on multiple occasion while i can count on one hand the amount of time it happenned on someone elses spawn.

The game would be more balanced if flames weren't so dedicated to attack adders all the time for some reason.
