Thread: Stop chasing people during overtime.

Contest the damn crystal. How are people making it to diamond and still getting tunnel vision? Congrats you got your 1 kill and now your team is outnumbered in overtime and you're going to walk into a 1v5 soon.

For that matter, stop chasing in general. Why is it so difficult for people to just stay with their team? Why do 2 or 3 players feel its necessary to chase 1 player into the back line? Do they not understand the enemy team is respawning and now those pushing the crystal are at a disadvantage?

Please start using common sense. You're not in bronze anymore....and if you are, start using common sense and you'll win more often.

Depends on how far it is and how hurt they are. At some point you do have to turn around, but if you keep letting everyone run away and fully heal you're giving them more chances to stop you. Those long respawn timers are key.

No, absolutely not. You do not chase 1 person and you don't need 3 people chasing them either. This has happened to me several times now where we are winning but half the team wants to chase someone and then we get annihilated because we're all spread out.

What’s the point?

I get more thrilled in the kills & engaging on the fights in my own accord,

Besides, people hardly are cohesive but herd together like sheeps & playing chicken like your avatat (Screw that!).

Never rely on anyone on that matter, especially on a fixed group of random players that just wouldn’t give flies about objectives or just in it for daily’s sake regardless of winning & losing.

You should yourself this instead, is it truly worth my energy in trying to glue the party together or should I engage & do the kills as a means of reward regardless of the general objective? -Sun Tzu deep stuff yo!-

The point is to win...If you only want to focus on deathmatching then stick to the casual mode.

Gotta interject here. If 1 person is chasing 1 person and all other things are equal, you are creating a 4v4, not necessarily a losing situation for the rest of your team. You don't automatically create losing situations by chasing. There's good and bad times to chase, even during overtime, and by the same measure there are good and bad times to leave the point. If you're winning in overtime, the enemy team is forced to have at least 1 person in the crystal or they lose. This can be taken advantage of because their whole team can never participate in a fight outside of the crystal in that situation. If your whole team takes 20 seconds to fight and kill anyone out of crystal range, they can return to the crystal with a numbers advantage and clean up easy.

I wish the K/D/A scoreboard was hidden because I've gotten kids who only care for their "sick killz scorez"

No no no

Please do chase during overtime

Chase me to Narnia while my team pushes the crystal! Free wins are the best wins!

A lot of people don't talk about this, glad someone brought it up. It's so annoying how your team will practically throw a game when you're the only one focusing the Crystal and your team is trying to get kills. I personally don't play Ranked that often, but when I do, I expect my team to atleast bring half a brain with them.

On the subject of not focusing the Crystal, can we talk about how Ranged classes don't get a free pass to not help move the Crystal just because they're Ranged? I play Summoner, and even I know to move the Crystal. Half the time I'm inside of it anyway because the my parties just chase people, or I'm launching myself into it with my Ifrit spell.

So annoying.

Ranged dps have that freedom/responsibility. They can be effective in combat anywhere. Forcing a melee to push isn't smart when the enemy is pelting them freely with ranged attacks. Melee go where the fight is, ranged kinda choose the location of the fight. Don't expect your melees to push the crystal if no one is trying to contest it.
