I used to find that probably 3-4 out of 5 matches, you would have one team who would get picked on at the beginning, who would almost never make a comeback. Usually, one of the other teams would end up just mindlessly continuing the attack (Even if being asked repeatedly to stop), while the 3rd ran around and captured nodes for an easy win.

While it is still early, I would say that this kind of match has been closer to 1-2 out of 5 for me this week.

A good premade would obviously throw this out of the window, but I think that will always be the case. I also think that I probably don't run into them as often due to the times that I play, which could be a pretty big factor.

But you can't really take any advantage off the lead team. You chip their points, they just come right back, with their full BH and unload their reset abilities on you.
I am starting to wonder if a lot more of this is down to time of day and DC than I would have expected? I play on Crystal, usually for a few hours after daily reset, but jump over to Primal at times as you do tend to find a bit more coordination there.

It is also making me wonder how the move to cross-region queues will impact things.
