Frontlines sucks Ultra megathread

[Roguewaves]

Thats a terrible idea because most people queueing as a light party aren't doing an LB combo or meta comp etc, you'd literally be punishing people for wanting to play with their friends and I don't think I need to explain how bad of a decision that is in a multiplayer game. Just because YOU don't know how to counter that type of play doesn't mean grouping should be punished.

I mean the main point of the game is to enjoy it. Most of us here run FL because we find it fun, we've long acquired all the rewards. If your goal for q'ing is just the rewards, which frankly aren't difficult to get, then giving light parties 0.25 credits towards wins just means you get to play more games with your friends which sounds like a good thing.

I dunno, just seems like a bad take from someone who doesn't want to play with friends in a multiplayer game.

As I've mentioned countless times, my objection is that meta stacks produce tedious matches. I'd far prefer a matchmaking algorithm to more draconian measures. Solo players didn't create this problem, those determined to maximize their personal win-rate while destroying the mode did.

My friends that I play with in the game think FL is garbage. When a premade following your guide is on the field, I agree with them.

Here's an analogy that might help clarify.

Imagine you go to the park and get a pick-up game of soccer/football underway. Everyone is having fun kicking the ball around getting some fresh air and exercise and engaging in some friendly competition.

Then a small group turns up. One of them announces that she is captain. She immediately starts issuing orders, telling the other players where to go and what to do. Her group turn out to be the midfield of Man Utd's cup-winning women's team.

How do you suppose all the other players feel about this?

They turn up on the field, tell them they're playing like garbage, tell them they shouldn't even be participating, and forces them to read a guide full of strategies on how to play one way specifically that isn't fun, (And honestly isn't relevant to most solo players.) and tells them if they don't like it they have an L-take and to go away, stomps the other side, and then boasts about their winrate and wonders why everyone has a negative impression of them.

Exactly this, then they have the creeping mendacity to claim that their motives are somehow altruistic. These self-appointed commander-gatekeepers might be less despised if they'd simply be honest about their motivations.

i do hate premade that try to help me win , also someone told me they use scripts and make noise macro to burst in same time! not like the game was design at all! i rather go alone to enemy ice and get run down by 24 people, why trying to kill this is a objective base game!!!

Welcome Senpai, it's nice to see a famous premade member and regular leader of the FL leaderboard take the trouble to stop by here and make their first post, even if it is dripping with sarcasm.

Incidentally, while we're on the topic of first posts, may I ask who you're sending in next? Celeste? Winter?

Because you're doing the work of La Résistance for us through these contributions. Ever since Olivia stated she would take her guide and "beat it into" players until they bent to her will or quit, our numbers have sky-rocketed.

In addition to the main organization, we now have articulation agreements with several large FCs and groups, including The Lugubrious Summoners Against More Buttons, The Amalgamated Union Of Filthy Casuals, B.R.E.A.S.T. (no idea), and the fledgling Alpaca Fart Joke Appreciation Society.

Keep up the good work!
