Crystal Conflict is infuriating

[Lecru]

NOBODY knows what to do. You got people who go in like "ha ha PVP IS FUN!" And just attack anything that moves. NOBODY targets healers, even when they are marked and flag. Please, Hydaelyn, take the healer out. They have a heal that is offset from the ones you get as a DPS on top of what you get with your mana. They also can polymorph a player and stop them from using actions. Meaning that player can get burned down before changing back. Also, stop attacking Tanks. They are literally there to soak your damage. Do not target them until after the rest of their group is dead.

It's also infuriating to be put against these mix matched squads. I don't understand what they were thinking or why they continue to not allow chat in PvP. I get it's to stop toxicity. But it helps nothing for coordination. And isn't that what reporting is for anyway? The toxicity? Like come on. I see these streamers, who I won't name, that are in Plat and Diamond and while i'm watching them, people are just throwing themselves at the streamer. Letting them climb. Meanwhile my group is attacking a wall somewhere while i'm on the crystal lol

I think they disabled chat knowing you will type this comments and suggestions on chat instead of forum and they made it intentionally random to make sure you never get a perfect team and destroy opposite team with perfection :3

You do know you can still "Queue" with people? Like 90% of the time if you queue at the same time, it will put you with the other person for w/e reason. Saw it on stream the other day.

Welcome to PvP and all of it's Dysfunctional Glory.

Also, what you are describing is called 'ELO Hell'. https://www.dictionary.com/e/pop-culture/elo-hell/

Every game with ranked you need to crawl through the mediocrity to get to higher ranks where people start to actually 'try'.

I'm aware what Elo Hell is. The difference with those games and this? The communication features are much better and you can tell your team what the plan is rather than spamming "I'm attacking this guy" while they all run around aimlessly

I have played more PVP in the past week than I have in literal years combined. CC is great quick games and easy to understand objectives.


What are you having trouble communicating that you need anything other than the quick-chat for? .. I'mma bet you feel you need to "embellish" your responses to emphasize the urgency right? Or yell at people for not doing what you said?


And that.. is why we have no chat.

Having no way to tell somebody to stop attacking the tank that is eating your damage isn't a great system. Nor is just watching as your team continues to do so while the DPS and Healers are burning peopel down left and right because your team mates have NO idea what they are doing.

If people aren't paying attention to a 1 floating over the targets actual head, what makes you think they'd listen to you?

True. But this is just another reason why the solo queue system is bad
