    I'd rather they afk somewhere than mindlessly charge enemies and get farmed miles away from the rest of their team. 30 matches yesterday and the bottom 8 players accounted for 90% of the team's deaths in each of them.
    My team would have won every single match if they those people had actually done nothing. They're actually causing me to adjust tactics because they are so uncarryable.

    I suspect the event attracts more players who have no interest in taking orders. They would rather make their own decisions.

    Having played with Olivia's call outs and then without, the difference is insane. We get so many people who get farmed and we get curb stomped, because they've given so much BH that it snowballs. It's insane.

    It's not just her call-outs, it's the efficiency of her premades. If you create a light party pre-queue, and actually ask for specific jobs from those experienced playing them, the result is a predictable massacre. Why anybody would want to play with such a baked in advantage I have no idea. Those on the other side of the battlefield certainly aren't enjoying it.

    The last few days I've seen in chat more complaints, more snarky comments, more push-back against commanders. People are pissed off.

    I mean, anyone else can make a premade too and start ordering people around if they want to. So I'd argue it's a bit more fair than that. Though that being said, as far as the comparison, some children could stomp some adults at baseball.

    It wasn't this bad before, but eh what can you do when coordination amounts to press the limit break button at the same time as someone does salted earth?

    I'm honestly surprised people are taking frontlines so seriously, it's always been the casual for fun mode.

    That's a very interesting point. Maybe those that do take it so seriously could explain. I think what we're discovering is that min-maxing it just makes it miserable for those who would like it to be a for-fun mode.
