NB: This was just a post of me venting about two shit games back to back where the same player absolutely rolled through even when half of our team was pre-warned, but I wanna note that in general this trend of "one player gets fat then rolls the other team despite their best efforts" is something I'm noticing on my own teams too.


What am I meant to do when by luck or some other factor a player gets what you think is a meagre lead (1-2k) then spirals into an absolute seal clubbing?

When there's not surrender mechanic you're held ransom to ensure the winning team extracts their "fun" from having you feed into them until they decide playing TDM is enough and play the objectives?

I've had close games, equal games, games where we lose but it's a well fought, but recent updates have stuffed the MMR (or maybe cheating and smurfing is just common now?)

Make use of the comeback mechanics. Recent updates have only made it easier to get back into a game where you're behind.

The new urn drop locations are sooooo nice.

Some wwould argue too nice! But I definitely prefer a MOBA that errs on the side of comebacks rather than snowballs.
