Disruptive Frontline Gameplay

[Chasingstars]

What's the lowest losing team score y'all have seen on Onsal? Set a personal record today. 48.

Thats impressive, I think the lowest I ever seen was like 76.

Don't recall ever being in double digits before. Complete capitulation. I guess people figure when a dominant commander is running a session and is not on their team, they're going to lose 9/10 times anyway, so might as well hasten the process? Kudos to our shot-caller continuing to make calls at the 7-min mark when we were still on 0 lol.

Not always that, some teams one can get are about the equivalent to a chicken with its head cut off. Slow on the uptake, prone to lingering and fighting enemy players even though they should be moving away.

Though there is also a commonly seen behavior that does involve hastening the process among 3rd place players. That of pinching the 2nd place team even though the 1st place is in the lead, where the 1st place team gets blue largely goes uncontested as the 2nd place team is too busy being dragged in the mud by 3rd. A "glad they didn't win" mentality. Whatever causes this grudge to form is usually something that is just part-n-parcel to frontlines, like getting KO'd or their node taken by force.

Well it often happens that 3rd place gets bullied by 2nd place (trying to build BH to stop 1st instead of just... going after 1st before they get too strong), so in retaliation 3rd place decides "well if they want to fight for 2nd place, we'll fight for 2nd". So 3rd goes after the 2nd team they *might* stand a chance against/caused them endless grief the whole match, instead of the team that's already won 1st place/never bothered them because they were dealing with 2nd only.

And it's hard to deny the satisfaction of watching a 2nd place team that insists on coming after your 3rd place team suddenly sink into 3rd themselves last minute because 1st noticed that 2nd was too busy being a bully to notice 1st's incoming pinch, or that 2nd was dumb enough to think after spending 5+ minutes in 3rd's spawn point farming them, that 3rd *wasn't* going to be dogging them for the reminder of the match in revenge.

Only way it's ever going to stop is if Frontlines becomes 2 teams only, but that's not likely to happen, and simply creating a separate mode will just have it left abandoned outside of Mogtome events.
