Frontline Kinda Sucks

[Kaen_Yume]

Running Frontlines to get a title or mount will probably make you go insane. There's quite a few outstanding problems that I feel should have been addressed a long time ago, but still haven't been.

1. DRK and DRG. I'm kinda surprised they haven't done anything about these two since the PVP update because they are so broken together. When a DRK pulls a group in and a DRK LB's, DRG's LB does so much damage and DRK's LB lasts 10 years (seconds) on top of doing a moderate amount of damage. Some say you can "easily" counter it with guard, but that's not true. Most of the time they are also paired with a DNC that can lb and remove guard. It ends up obliterating your alliance most of the time and you see it so, so often. Even if they don't have a Dancer and you manage to escape the AoE pull in, another DRK can pull you back. This has been a problem for so long and is such a broken meta. How is this not addressed yet?

2. Premades. Premades make Frontline not fun. So many people queue up Frontlines just for the exp, and that makes it hard to win. It makes it even harder to win when you're going against a premade party that has its stuff together. Sometimes they play DRK/DRG, sometimes they're all Scholar and make me rethink my life choices. Sometimes both teams will go against the premade group to make them lose out of spite, so I can't be the only one that dislikes seeing them.

3. RNG and the maps. Even when you try your best, RNG screws you over anyways and gives the win to the other team. You're 100 points away from winning? Cool, just gonna spawn an S rank next to yellow's base and now they get to win, nerd. RNG doesn't even matter sometimes though, because the premade you are facing is too strong to be bothered by that S that spawned in the enemy teams base. The only map that didn't have an RNG problem was the one that's being reworked right now, Borderland Ruins. I really hope they don't change much about it because that was the most balanced map.

There's other stuff like cheating players, purify, guard being useless because so many things go through it, AST being pretty OP, being tossed around like a hot potato because of all the pull-ins, and more that makes Frontline pretty bad imo. All in all I wish there was more balance because Overwatch 2 at the moment is more balanced than FFXIV PVP, and that's impressive. I've also heard from others that they really hate running Frontlines and I feel like that shows the position it's in right now. Hopefully they can make it better eventually. If anyone took the time out of their day to read this, what do you think? What are your thoughts? (and also, thanks)
