It's time for Dev to look at the quality of the game not the "Fanciness" of it

My advice is… Just dont try hard the objective when it’s lobsided, play it like a survival horror game. And of course, if you’re spawncamped, press K while asking to scramble. Dont feed them! Every tool is there for people to balance the game themselves. If noobs had the simple instinct of regrouping and denying the kills when it’s a stomp and votes are not improving the situation, everyone would get bored of lobsided matches and scramble or restart would be used not just for trolling.

In my personal experience, I never had a game that vote went thru to justify “spawncamping”
I mean, it’s an easy game for them why would they bother shuffle?

Many games have been pulled out of a “sure loss” with a quick rally of the team.

I’ve been thru that but from my experience, both exp and KD were not looking good by the end of the game.
I can’t shake the feeling that the other team gave us a break. and somehow we got a hold of it.

You can pretty much negate the enemy xp gains when spawncamped by suiciding and using the spawn protection. A few score system mechanics are broken but in my experience, good games are games where everyone consistently gets around the same amount of XP. Easy low action games dont fill your wallet as much as balanced one. So yeah, press K when spawn camped and play the waiting game of votes, take a few second to assess the viability of securing the objective, and if it seems not, then don’t feed the opponent.

I managed to get hsit loads of exp by playing medic on the loosing/spawncamped team. It’s all a matter of way of thinking. if you get triggered by being inferior than other players, you should ask yourself why it is like that. Most probably you being triggered is one of the reasons as you are not focused enough on the game. All this thought pattern can be generalized by one term: Git gud. But that is most of the time taken as an insult (which should not be taken as such).

If you are spawn camped the next time, just make sure to focus the medics and finish them if they are down. It makes attacking all of a sudden really easy.

I have seen groups of all types of comps come together and win from a near loss, yes. Many times I have seen this . It is your choice if you want to leave the group in hopes of a smoother run and no one is challenging that choice.

And then you have matches like the ones I had yesterday, where the winning team’s worst had more XP than our best while we suffered from constant noob rage quitters too, ending on a 8 vs 3 match. Try recovering from that.

I actually think that balance has improved recently. I’ve had less one sided objective matches as of late, or maybe I was just lucky. I guess the balance thing is always going to be an issue for a simple reason; people use the server browser list and join matches with 1-2 empty slots. What maybe was a balanced start to a match, can quickly become unbalanced with one or two high lvl players changing the balance. I think the ultimate cure are dedicated servers. Having active admins on them, means that balance can be restored when an obvious suffle is required. However, I know I’m getting ahead of myself.

Even better than pressing K on a spawn camp is just not spawning in the first place.

You can avoid the afk timer while unspawned by changing cameras and moving your mouse around.

I’d know, since I’m not the kind of guy that leaves a lopsided match…

I just stop spawning and wait for the round to end.

I make people a special kind of angry
