Return of Reckoning

Funny. I got opposite experience. My order SCs were complete pugs with DD AMs and tanks which ran away and hide behind healers. And when I log my destro character most of the time i get easy wins. It feels like matchmaking don't put premade vs premade, but almost always pug vs premade.

Spoiler:

That does seem to be the impression, confirmation bias or not.

- no clear problem statement
- instead of answering to my message (viewtopic.php?t=50275&start=40#p530477) ranting in a different thread about the same issue


What’s your problem here?
Form a grp, search for someone who has already the pot to mark people. Start sc or go into oRvR, mark squishy targets and kill them. Shouldn’t be harder then taking screenshots and searching for images to make this pointless meme like rant post.

Scenarios with King of the Hill are fail for the most part and only highlight the disparity in the poo match making system. Thunder Valley and Blood used to be good pug vs premade scenarios because you had to watch all the points, they changed that sometime and made it premade win only basically. They did a similar thing with Riekland hills game, used to be fairly good scenario until they changed the mechanic to favor premades.

If would say they did the exact opposite, they made them better.
Instead of purely people capping flags and running away from fights, they forced them to PVP instead of PVE. Sounds way more fun to me.

Depends on the perspective of premade vs non premade players. If by farming people who have no chance at winning is what you call fun, they yeah i guess it is.

EDIT; i disliek both being in a premade and pugging scenarios, they are predictable and stale. 99% of the time the match winner is decided in first minute. There is very little chance or tactics that change it. ORvR is full of chance. About only time i do scenarios is when required to do so for live Events. Win or Lose in scenarios they suck overall.
