Gah! Can I get an even game here!?

The Breakdown:

In around 70% of games I play, my team (sometimes including me) seems incapable of making the slightest progress, and we are herded into our base by the vastly superior enemy team like so many sheep. Defeat is assured as the enemy pros swarm over our exposed money ball like flies over fresh dog poop. No matter how hard I try, I simply cannot make any inroads on the enemy team.

In the next 20%, I end up on that team, that can sweep aside the opposition like a tidal wave of pain and pwnage. It is fun, but usually a hollow victory as the uber-players on my team destroy the weak competition.

The last 10% are the best sort of games, where both teams are roughly evenly matched, and either one could gain the advantage. Too bad they usually end within 40 seconds of overtime, depending on which team saved up the most for juice.

Maybe it is just me, but it seems nigh impossible to get a fair match in this game. Most matches I play there is a clearly superior team, led by 1 or 2 really good players. The other team (Usually mine, grumble) is dominated thoroughly, and generally doesn't enjoy the experience. I'd like to think of my self as fairly competant and an above average player, but the only time I can enjoy this game is if I'm not getting shut out by some 32-7 gunner. I at least take solace in the fact that most of those 7 deaths were caused by me.

Am I basically alone in this problem, or does anyone else feel this way? You guys are probably the ones shutting me down all the time anyways...

Try getting a few buddies to play with ya or Group up with a few of the players here. Playing with a team that communicates with each other gives ya better chances to win.

This does not solve the problem, it creates the problem. His problem is not losing, it is uneven matches.

If a party of good players are together, they will be the team that crushes the other team.

That is why i have stopped trying to team up with other "good" players, because that ruins the game for me. I have been partying with a more diverse party consisting of weaker and stronger players. Much more fun.

^Yea. I figure I run into a lot of parties of good players, while I am stuck with the other solo players, which usually aren't as good. Playing with a party would be better than just solo, but I would still like to see better matchups.

As I'm sure your aware, this is - unfortunately - the one major flaw in online team games (not counting lag). Your team always sucks; don't take that statement the wrong way, not trying to say you're moaning, but it's just the best way to describe the phenomenon.

In this game, there are definitely a lot of reasons why you get TeamSuckyItus.

Too Many Assassins on your Team. (deserves to be separate from
Too Many XXXXX on your Team.
Nobody on your Team kills a bot.
Nobody on your team Heals - Vs. a Team that does.
Nobody builds Turrets
Nobody Destroys Turrets
Everybody purposefully just waits out for the Juice Rush.

etc. etc.

Not much you can do about it really, that's why the best suggestion has already been posted - and that's to find some regulars who you know will be trying to win properly and add them and play with them.

You won't beat them, so join someone else.

Better chances, but it doesn't necessarily save you from the rushing strategy that even uncoordinated teams are using.
