How I can tell within the first 30 seconds you are on the losing team in The Feast

[Aiph]

Like a lot of us joining The Feast to try and get those wins for Garo mounts, I can tell when my chance of winning is near 0 even before the first blow is struck with a mere 2 observations.

1.) No leader. Points lost if leader is healer, PLD tank or range DD. You need to call a target right away so any debuffs or initial attacks by healer isn't wasted.

2.) Healer not marked. Know where you're healer is at a glance.

3.) Opposing team has a leader (usually can tell because there aren't a lot of em so the few same names keep popping up).

Further observation in the first 20 seconds of the match that ensures a loss:

4.) Tank not first out the gate or hides at barrier immediately. Giving your range and healer a bit of set up time makes all the difference in that first KO when both team run the same tactic.

5.) Teammate runners. You're not likely going to avoid attacks by running unless you're enemy is a mage. On the flip side, you will outrun or break line of sight of your healer if you do run, ensuring you do die.

6.) One teammate not targeting the leaders target.

7.) Leader not switching targets (As a healer, the sudden change in targets can be jarring, especially when combined with number 5 above).

These 7 points, all in less than a minute points to a competitive match or a complete rout (and decides how hard I play so as to prevent frustration).
