People who want to play well will always win. However, the question of premades has been talked about to death on this forum...like literally every frontline thread devolves into it.

Yesterday I was put in a game with at least 5 BH0 in my party at the end of the game. Some of which had sub 100k damage dealt. Are the premades the problem, or is it just bad gamers? It's the contrast between those who care and those who really really don't.
That's just it though, it doesn't matter if you care if there's no crawling up once the placements are on-lock, and they lock-in REALLY damn fast now with the BH changes to the point I've been getting Frontline matches that snowball faster and end quicker than Rival Wings on mogtome day.

And hell, sometimes people "trying" has been a bigger bane then a boon. I've actually died MORE often and ended up with LESS BH than I used to before the changes because people have becoming increasingly suicidal and "yolo" which quickly dominoes into everyone else in the alliance getting wiped out too. People are just throwing themselves in there because they're worried if they don't establish a little BH, it'll look like they were doing nothing... only to end up dead and have no BH anyway. I've had games where ALL 24 PEOPLE INCLUDING MYSELF HAD BH0, or had teams still standing at 0 points 8+ minutes in because there was just absolutely no way to get out of the hole they got locked into because too many people forgot that while they don't lose BH on death, they still lose points.

Matches are just a bunch of recklessness and carelessness, which only further contributes to premade dominance because they're less likely to blunder into fights they can't win and/or may have the rest of their alliance on a tighter leash.

Before I just didn't take Frontlines seriously but still tried to contribute, but now I'm starting to just not bloody care and join the rest of the lemmings in dying because at least the lowered quality matches will end sooner that way.
