Done exclusively solo (jobs played: MNK, DRG, some SCH).

  • Counterpoint: This is a team game, you have 23 teammates, you have zero control over how competent they are unless you're queue syncing (and even then, barely), and you're facing two opponent teams instead of one. It's pretty clear there's a luck factor involved.
  • Countercounterpoint: Queueing solo right now and getting a 55% win rate over 27 games without queue syncing isn't lucky. It's reality-defying.
  • Countercountercounterpoint: Player competence almost certainly varies between data centers. In a brief excursion to Primal, I could win more times in a few games than I would across two dozen in Crystal. Even though every game is guaranteed to have a winner, you can consistently find yourself on the losing team. Plenty of leeway when there are two losing teams instead of one.
