This is exactly how people fall into the trap of changing their GC to Mael expecting brighter days btw lmao.
The way I also see it is look at your queue times. Mael on Crystal is generally a 30 min queue, however Freelancing usually cuts the queue down to 2-5 min in prime time. If a match takes around 12 min in most cases you could fit in two matches during that time. Double the chances you can win as a FL.

The only problem PVP has is this awful idea that Mael always wins. A color does not determine who wins, player skill decides that. If people are expecting easy rides on Mael, I'm sorry to say if you don't put in the actual effort you will cost your damn team. Meanwhile a smart team on the others will pinch and be annoying as possible, why I've seen Adders take the win multiple times.
