when you look at teamchat and “me and war go far and lord”

when you’re 1v2 close, half hp…you see your full hp bunker guard mate coming and you start feeling better…he gets on point, yeah now i can kite a bit and come back on p…..and he dies in 10 seconds flat

or when you see zapdos rom and levin on the other side and looking at your team all you can see it’s “golden” and “dungeon master” with everyone pimped up with legendaries and kitten…or commanders…god, commanders are the worst case scenario…

last time i got a commander mesmer on my team there was levin on the other side…i was just thinking “May god have mercy on his soul”

….dunno bout god, but levin had no mercy at all…..he was already dead before midfight started…with a painful last “wtf” breath in teamchat, didn’t even bother going for res..

sizer can still kill ppl with sword mainhand only….like rom playing gs/lb, just because a good player uses it (And obviously for trolling purposes) it doesn’t mean it’s a good choice….let’s say that sizer, rom, aswell as many others CAN run kinda troll builds and still kill 90% of ppl (God i got so many shoutbows dieing 1v1 vs axe/shield soldier war with 6 strenght roflmao) but it doesn’t mean axe/shield is any decent, i actually wanted to ask them how did they manage to lose vs dat crap…same goes for gs/lb or caltrops on dodge…

one thing is to play the same build as rom, sizer and so on….other thing is to play it like them..and there’s a BIG BIG difference that people should understand before going full yolo (Just because some top player does that) while they’re not even able to kite or los around a point

“Zerging” middle is actually what you should do to start. But unforutnately when its all solo queue most don’t know how to rotate so you have people that just mill around after winning at middle or cant judge when the fight is 90% won and move off to save home or take far depending on what the enemy does but in general sending 4 or even 5 (after he caps home) to middle is what should be done at start at least.

Well, Im a thief, defending points is not my specialty.

So one I had to backtrack to said point and now try to 1v2 whatever just showed up, thief is out of the game backtracking and then out of +1 on any fights coming up and likely will have to bail on that 1v2 unless the players are absolutely bad

The only time I ever cap home is on spirit watch, and thats because I generally run the back line 100% and even that bit me the other day when two FA eles both burst me together.

On top of that so many after I +1 their fight will try to run off and not cap the point and leave me to cap it. Im like hey where you going? Thats my job to run off.

Nah, I perform quite well with the builds I make. I have a fairly solid win/lose ratio for a solo queue player and regularly get top or near top score in most games I play when I’m not forced to fill a defensive role because my team lacks sustain. I do my best to rotate well and I tend to win just as many 1v1s as I lose depending on the style of build I go with. I don’t consider myself exceptional but I’m far from costing my team points.

I cannot contribute to the team while typing responses to the guy who, instead of focusing on the game, is attacking my playstyle choice, though. Nor can I effectively call incoming or communicate with my team when the team chat is being filled with “LOL ranger without longbow?! Kill yourself.”

If you get close to top score you must definately be good…right?

On the other side i’d rather have a condi survival ranger (Not trapper for the love of god) than a reterded pew pew power scrub in team all day, even if neither of those are gonna do something against celestial specs (Maybe condi could do something vs engi but it’s more about how dumb engi is)

If you’re playing an aggressive role it’s at least an indicator you’re doing SOMETHING. You’re getting kills, you’re capping points, and you’re staying in the game. That being said I did specify that my score was high when I’m not filling the defensive role. Depending on the team composition I’ll have to sit back and defend mid because my entire team decided to bugger off to far right after the initial team fight, leaving mid wide open to decap. If it’s only two enemies I can usually survive long enough for my team to come back, if not well… I can’t work miracles. Which reminds me.

- When your entire team goes far right after the mid team fight so that the enemies can capture mid again on respawn.

I favor tankier builds on my ranger for the same reasons you listed. Especially in solo queue where you can’t rely on your team to hold the point while you sit back at range. The builds I make are designed to fight on point, and while it certainly can’t be a full time bunker it’s better than being butchered every time I try to stop a cap.

Regardless, my point is you shouldn’t aggressively attack someone’s playstyle in the middle of a match. It doesn’t benefit anyone and will just make it harder for both you and the person you’re attacking to play to the best of your ability.

I don’t attack ppl…as soon as someone goes 1v1 on their point and dies more than once, goes 1v1 vs bunker guard on his point for 2 minutes, loses 3v2, goes for boss or lord at start, puts target on ranger’s pets, team facetanking lich fully wiping and stuff like that it’s instant afk, after more than 16k matches i already passed the rage part..
