Lack of Balace in the Crystaline Conflict

[YukikoKurosawa]

Noticing that every game I've been teamed up against a tank, healer (generally a white mage and warrior), and 3 dps. Meanwhile, I'm consistently never put into such a team. Now I know as a dps queing I'm obviously reducing my odds since I'm neither a healer or tank, but how is it possible that EVERY SINGLE GAME the enemy is a tank, a healer, and 3 dps but I'm very very rarely getting into such teams? Am I just really unlucky?

I get wanting to not have ques take an eternity but I'm constantly being put into teams that are virtually guaranteed to fail. Speaking of which, the whole ranking system is gonna incentivize match dropping to not lose rank. It's an interesting idea, but why bother staying a game you know you're going to lose when it'll cost you progress within a rank? Better to eat a 30 min deserter and try again and hope to win the next round. Rinse and repeat each time you're losing.

It's more so some of the jobs are really strong over you needing a tank or a healer. WAR is stupid with AoE stun and WHM also has an AoE stun LB. PvP is just a game of timing your CCs right now.

Not really my point. My point is EVERY SINGLE GAME the enemy team has the exact same setup, tank healer and 3 dps. That shouldn't be possible. It's too consistent to just be bad luck.

It's not possible.

[YukikoKurosawa]

It's not possible.

I've done about 50 games today and every single one has an enemy team with a tank, healer and 3 dps. Every, single, game. I've only had 2 games where I've had teh same set up. Obviously something is wrong as this shouldn't be possible even as someone queing as dps consistently.

The balancing is really weird. Since wednesday i mostly end up in passive teams that get steamrolled.

[Araxes]

I picked up my redmage again since i can be sort of a healer when we have none and just switch to black most of the time if i got a healer on my team. I saved so many people with the white shift LB and verholy but then i receive complaints about my low damage while they completely ignore that im first or second in healing.

So yeah if you wanna be versatile i really recommend RDM

[Duskane]

yeah Balance is wack but modes pretty new and experimental so this was bound to happen
it'll get fixed over time

Honestly i think that a match where i have 2 healers (and maybe against 4 dps and a tank) is a sure loss. Healers hit like wet noodles. instead 4 or 5 dps can focus more and steamroll everything

[KageTokage]

Non-SGE healers hitting like noodles is kind of intended because the bulk of their contribution comes from assisting with kills either via CC or damage buffs.

It doesn't really detract from the fact that CC and/or burst heavy team comps tend to inherently do better, though.
