It's also not about orvr because that's a totally different kind of content than I am used to and I am still learning it.
It is for instanced pvp, or rvr content, these suggestions apply to this subject in virtually any game.
1.) FIGHT ON THE FLAG...
Or the node, whatever.
Have you known the frustration of Destro having all the nodes, then rushing off to fight at mid, leaving you to watch the nodes turn white again?
Stay out of mid, don't get yourself kited into the crowd and destroyed.
Defend...Objectives.
2.) Peel your healer...
Tanks, you have knock downs and knock backs.
Did you know that if your healer is dead, or running back from the spawn, THEY CAN'T HEAL YOU?
So before you complain about heals, make sure that isn't why they aren't happening.
It's 100% self inflicted.
3.) Order of execution...
Healers<Tanks<DPS
Beating on tanks while the healers are up is playing to the tanks strength.
Their purpose for living, keep you busy while the DPS annihilates you, all the while enjoying unahampered heals, as the guard mechanic does what it's supposed to do.
Killing the DPS, or trying to, while tanks and healers are up is even more comical to behold.
Thinking outside the box is our friend..."Why would I kill tanks before DPS? Wouldn't I just want to follow one of your other suggestions and punt the tank away and kill the DPS before I kill the tank?"...Zabis
4.) Tanks, you have a knock back...
I know it's common sense and a lot of you are really good about it, but I'll just reinforce...
Knock kill targets back to your DPS, for killing.
Keeping these 4 things in mind, as a habit, will go a long ways toward mitigating the PUG's disadvantage against premades.
In fact, these 4 things are what premades dynamically impose on the battle.
The PUG's ONLY CHOICE, to be successful is to impose this mindset as a habit, on as many people in the faction as possible...
That way the behavior is automatic and doesn't need to be dynamically reinforced.
Bear in mind, failing to remember these suggestions 100% of the time, does not make you, OR YOUR TEAM MATE, an idiot.
It makes you human with bigger things going on in your life than an internet game.
But that said, your team mates are depending on you, so take direction and adjust.
If you see someone forgetting the suggestions, COACH THEM, don't insult them.
You'll end up winning more matches.
