    Please list the most fantastic strategies you have seen!

    I love watching everyone charging one by one straight into the other team at the start before the crystal is even released.
    It shows a proper understanding of the Way of Insanity!

    Another favorite is never using the potions because only enemies should be allowed to have them.
    We have to be nice even to people sinking the knives in!

    I guess the classic letting a single enemy push to the end is suitable, too, for variety.
    It is hard to see the giant blue objective!

    Oh man that list is long. My favorite:

    Link a S so that most fools rush to that place despite another raid is about to win.

    Pushing all the way the enemy respawn so they can wipe us in overtime is fun too!
    The absolute best is when you are forced to stack on crystal for one of those wonderful super aoe infinite win moves the other team has, that your team does not!

    Being forced to play with those you just utterly crushed in a previous game is nice, also!
    Bonus points when this happens during a streak to end it!

    Karma system working as intended.

    Entire team popping LB's and then pushing the crystal all the way to the other side of the map and win because it takes 10 years to respawn and LB's are pure no skill cheese.

    Three to five people chasing the enemy healer across the map while the other four enemies push the crystal to the finish.

    Losing because your team has no one with a 'push' skill while the other team does in Overtime really burns.
    I know we can't all have 3 dps/1 tank/1 heal but please don't tell me this isn't viable.

    I don't think you even need a tank. Optimal group composition is probably "at least one healer, and no more than two total of any combination of tanks and healers." SGE excluded, healers generally lack sustained DPS worth a crap so having more than two really hurts your ability to secure kills. Tanks don't actually have much in the way of support skills anymore (pretty much it's just TBN and Guardian/Phalanx), so you actually kind of *do* need a healer if the enemy team has one since they're the classes with all the defensive buffs and bits of sustain.

    I don't think we even really need role-sensitive queues. What we need, instead, is the ability to fucking change classes during match setup and some quickchat commands like "We need a healer please!" etc. I honestly don't understand why we can't change classes during match setup, especially since there's no role-queuing for the mode. It would solve so many issues. Oh, I got a team with 2 other healers? No problem, I'll swap to NIN or MNK. I guess maybe it's because they limit teams to only one of each class?
