Teams :/

[Megapixel123]

I know I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for bringing this up, but I feel like the topic of teams really needs to be addressed. Please don't start spamming the thread with hate without even reading this and understanding where I'm coming from.

We've all faced teams at some point. We all talk about strategies such and FnS and the 180 bow shot, which work to some degree. And frankly, most teams are composed of bad players who are trying to win without actually being good at the game. However, too often I've seen teams of two bad players win because, well, they're teamed. Here are the facts: teams are simply overpowered. They get double the hits, double the loot off spawn, and they basically get two chest-routes worth of loot if they decide to split up and meet somewhere. You weaken one of them, only to have the other one swoop in while he heals up and shoots you with his bow and arrow. Yes, they are manageable, but when teams play smart and are good a PvP they are near impossible to beat. On top of that, if a team gets to deathmatch it's automatic gg.

So what are ways we can deal with this. I would be in favor of an all-out ban, especially on lobby teaming, but I know how fun it is to skype team with your irl friends. So here's what i suggest. Designated team servers. On these servers it is perfectly legal to team, but you'll be facing other teams. Also, if you enjoy the challenge you can play on these solo.

I look forward to hearing everyone's feedback

Nope. Teams are beatable in DM and anywhere else. If they're better than you, get better. Same as fighting a solo player in that regard. It's part of the game, you can team if you want to.

Well Im sure teaming wasnt exactly intended to happen when mcsg was created, but there isnt exactly much you can do to STOP teaming. Banning every teamer is just ridiculous and we would lose a TON of people.

Lol no. Fighting a team is not the same as fighting a solo player in any respect. As I said in the thread, teams are beatable but they give lesser players an unfair advantage. And if you beat a team in dmatch they must really suck, because part of beating teams is residual damage with bows and FnS, and you can't exactly run in dmatch...

While this is true, we can still put up the rule to dissuade it. Block glitching is illegal, but people still do it. However, a lot of people that would normally do it don't because it is banned. I hope the same happens with teaming. Also, if the designated team server thing happens, teams could just go there and team all they want.

Sorry, but this will never be implemented. Teaming is, and always will be part of MCSG. You just have to deal with it.

I hate it how people suggest mcsg implements such a regulation to stop teams? It's simply ridiculous, I mean come on, you and your best mate are going to want to play a game together, what are you meant to do, kill each other and not have any fun? I understand where you're coming from with teams of 4 and even perhaps 5, but you making a big deal out of small teams. (My opinion)

No. Just, no. I am aware of how annoying teams could be at some points, especially if they team in the lobby because they can't win by themselves. It's part of the game, and we all have to accept that. I know a lot of people hate teams, but I think we've all teamed at least once before, so if you think about it we're all hypocrites. There is no way to get rid of them, they will remain on the servers forever. If you're having this much trouble defeating teams, I suggest learning and practicing new strategies that can definitely help you defeat teams. They are not immortal, and can be defeated one way or another.

If you care this much about teams, I suggest to stop caring so much. If they team, it's not your fault, and you really can't do anything about it. If they kill you, I suggest to simply leave the server and join another. It's that easy. It's annoying seeing so many posts about teaming, even if they're as formal as yours, because honestly, there have been enough threads about teams already. There is no way to get rid of them, and they will always remain in the game. They're something that make MCSG, well...MCSG. It wouldn't be the way it is without them.

Touching base on your idea about team designated servers, it is honestly a stupid idea. Sorry if I'm sounding a bit harsh, but it is. It's bad enough servers are virtually impossible for the public non-sponsors to join (since they get filled in like 10 seconds flat). Designating team servers would greatly worsen that problem and make it even more impossible for people to join servers since there are less servers. I don't think team servers will be very successful, because team or not, you could still join them. They're like every other server, except with a different name.

Teams could be the best and worst things at any time, and we really shouldn't spend this much time complaining about their prescence. If you're sick of teams, you should maybe ask someone to team with you, maybe on Skype or TS. Sometimes I team up with someone near me if I see a team and we're about to fight. Just remember not to betray . So this is what I have to say about teams.

Have a nice day

Lol no. Fighting a team is not the same as fighting a solo player in any respect.

Did you read what I said? I did not say anything about actual fighting, I was making a comparison. I'll explain it more thoroughly: There is a player you can never beat. You must gain skill to beat them. Say there is a team you can't beat. You must get better to beat them.

This thread will start a flame war, and i'm sorry but this won't happen. Thread locked.
