premade matches and tournaments? hm… I’m not positioning myself as a very very good player or some kind of a PRO, I just want balanced games, is it that much to ask? :’(
3 mercs aren't enought for the Squad!

@Owyn How do you define a “balanced match”?
I got hooked on DB during the early beta because matches were neck to neck nearly all the time. Back then, there was hardly a match I played where it didn’t go overtime. Regardless of outcome (win or lose), it was the “fight at edge-of-your-seat” that gets your heart racing, that makes a quality game for me. It’s not the can-of-whoop-ass other games offer, but the in-game-excitement accentuated by the crescendo of background music that spins my wheels.

@K1X455 Don’t mind me I’m just furiously taking notes here. May I express such an intrusive request as to borrow your dictionary for a while?

Which, at least, not clearly a one-sided stomping or spawn-killing, like you side about that edge thing, - people are close to getting things done, where hope is still left - in such game it doesn’t matter who you play - you just feel good about it. But if you play your favorite role\merc and just getting spawn-killed or where game goes nowhere, - it’s not nearly as fun - that’s what I’m saying

[quote=“SnakekillerX;c-219123”]So basically, you make a bunch of threads about the game, people don’t like it, then you disagree with every post made in that thread that doesn’t say “wow, that’s totally awesome and no one has ever thought about that before”.
Good job, you’ll go far in this community.[/quote]
Nice, he flagged me for abuse on my post for talking about how he abuses the disagree button.[/quote]
@Eox We need your help again -_-

Like nail said , this won’t change the mentality of the players to change to roles that are needed and adapt. Also balance in Pubs is impossible with the system right now , gotta wait for cmm.

It’s not about winning, it’s about playing a balanced game where roles are fullfilled…[/quote]
Spare yourself, and stop playing multiplayer games.
Never, will there ever be a system for making games 100% balanced.
Even with people all with 500 hours in Dirty Bomb in a match, they could all have the wrong mercs in their squad.
My final words on this this thread are:
Stop caring about what your team is doing, and just do what makes you happy. If you have to have your team around you doing the jobs they should all of the time to have fun, then you really shouldn’t be playing multiplayer games. Otherwise, just suck it up.

Also consider the fact that the game is F2P, so there will be people of a wide range of skill playing the game as well as some people who really only enjoy playing the “fun” or “cool” classes and ignore the actual objective of the gameplay, but there really isn’t anything anyone can do about it aside from accepting that fact and trying to work your game around those people.

There is a known black hat solution to my glorious 1.16fps. It’s just that the rest of the world will suck it up.

Alright, so the perfect squad looks like this?
Sparks - Sniper and Medic in one! 
(Btw, your reasoning for needing a sniper is quite literally dizzying… Having snipers often allows teams to be pushed back in this game…)
Fletcher - Engineer AND basically an Assault… (go proxy instead if you can kill well)
Literally any fire support, I recommend Kira or Arty though… 
Also, I completely feel the 3 merc limit is fine. The only truly important merc to have in case your team doesn’t have one is Medic IMO. There are ammo crates around the map, and every single class in this game can kill just fine.

I do it all the time, but usually because I’m playing with friends that request me to go certain mercs and I can do it in less than a minute… Also, spectate join helps with speed.

All you need is whatever will benefit your team. Look at the maps and determine what you need. I don’t think we need more mercs, but people just need to understand which ones they need better.
For each map i take:
Chapel | Pheonix, Aimee, Phantom
Terminal | Pheonix, Fletcher, Phantom
Underground | Pheonix, Proxy, Aimee
Bridge | Pheonix, Kira , Phantom
(Notice that I have a medic for all maps)
Honestly this is all just personal preference, and when used with my playstyle, these are the combinations that I am most effective with.

Please don’t abuse the flag system guys. I removed a few flags ( @Nail I removed yours) and I’ll probably remove a few more.
Try to have a discussion guys instead of a flame war where you press buttons that mean mostly nothing. The OP obviously hasn’t gotten to sit in on some of the dev streams that most of us have and doesn’t know the ins and outs of why the game is the way it is. Respond in a non-inflamatory manner that answers questions and move on please.

@Amerika I notice you didn’t remove any of the ones I got, or are you part of this running gag mentioned on my wall ?

@Nail I removed the abuse flag you got earlier in the thread. I have no clue what you’re talking about with this “running gag” and I haven’t looked at your wall. But I will now.
So I removed a couple more flags after looking at your comments. But I left the ones where you were actually abusive.
