Every game I have participated in for about the last 2 weeks have given the same result. Some fool who just doesn't takes his side of the map (read the side on which his base is located)and leaves a flank to one person (most of the time that person is me), who is facing 2 players on his own and after cries and cries of help he calls you an idiot or gardening nice person (if I must use relics nice terms) and says you fucked up a flank..

I am getting sick of it, it happens almost every single time that I play. What is up with this player base lately? Seems like the good players are vanishing more and more with every game I play..

Anyone else noticing this as well?

What faction were you playing?

Typically Allied teams are composed of lower ranking individuals where as axis ones are higher ranked so the axis teams are often favored to win by matchmaking, which is fine u just gotta realize u can't win em all

Same can happen with axis but i suppose but its more likeley that they are secretly doing an uber pro strat :snfCHVGame:

You really believe that axis teams in 4v4 are favored because of better players?

Well yes 9 out of 10 games in 4v4 Axis has a team of competent players while Allies has at least one newb. It's pretty hard to judge the gameplay without both sides having a basically functioning team. Those 1 in 10 games where Axis has a newb are generally the games that may be lost. The matchmaking pretty much defines the outcome in random 4v4.

lol

well, competency for OKW/wehr player means not getting wiped out and hold~40% of the map until late game which comes really fast... and choose a doc with tiger

and

competency for sov/usf means constant pressuring, constant harassing and good commander choices and variations across the whole team

Yep. Do you use CELO? It's very informative.

That's why I never play with randumbs, better to get a team of players that can use TS or communicate well. :snfPeter:
I mean, if you really want to play randumb 4v4, better to go Axis every time. :snfPeter:
Because if you don't, gl hf.

I love players playing with random teammates complaining about their random actions.

Like Pigsoup said, Axis team can carry incompetent player until mid game when he becomes competent player by the virtue of superior armor.

Soviet team will have hard time carrying incompetent player to begin with and as game progresses that player becomes increasing burden and liability. (due to asymmetric faction design)

Basically, you have same incompetent players in axis and allies, its much more difficult playing with Soviet or USA noobish player

Boom headshot!

On a random team game, you are also a random. Something people forget.

I think most people would agree, newer players tend to play as allies. Don't forget there was a game before this called coh1 - many veteran players stuck to axis due to familiarity.

Because they still believe in a balanced team game. ;)

Yeah, what high ranked allied player would ever play a big team game? With randoms?

Even I don't enjoy losing THAT much :D
