Ever had to carry their team in any 4v4 modes? I'm curious to know how often it happens, how it makes you feel? (heroic, good, annoyed, do you feel bad for the other team, etc) If you have, please post below with just a few details such as classes, game mode and so on and so forth.
Also, for those of you who might have video clips (on any platform) and are happy for me to use them for an upcoming video, don't be shy and send them in to me (on youtube) along with your story and username, so that I can feature your clip (with full credit to yourself) on my channel in a montage. Thanks!

Not quite by myself,though I do have two examples, both pacekeeper, one where we didn't make it and one where we did.
One was a dominion match, we went into breaking at six hundred points on our board, two quickly went down. Two of us lasted probably somewhere around three minutes and we got to nine hundred points, it was damn close but we went down eventually.
The other was a skirmish, we were three hundred points down and the player who died was executed so we weren't getting him back.Nothing the other team did worked, they kept coming, we kept 3v1-4-ing them depending on how often they regrouped since we re-found the form that had us ahead until we dropped five hundred points nearly unanswered.Suddenly they are in breaking and the bodies start hitting the floor on both sides like an eight man wrestling match when they go finisher crazy until it was left with me and one guy with his back to me having finished my last teammate off,let's say I wasn't going to wait for him to turn around, lucky as much as anything but I was last one standing.I had just bought the 'The Best' emote and honestly, after dropping the last one, it would have felt wrong not to let her spin around gleefully with her mad cackle lol.
Both of those were probably among the most intense it has gotten for me where everything goes on one hit or missed move.

I have carried probably a handfull of Matches, Elimination and Skirmish are the best Modes to do it imho.
Most epic fight: Last round of Elimination (Round 3), standing alone against 4 with a score of 4 kills. Ended in 12 kills for me even though they 2v1 / 3v1ed me. They kept reviving their fallen mates cause I couldnt execute in this situations. Anyway was my most intense fight. Sadly no Video of that. ^^

I've only had 1 match where I carried my team entirely by myself. It was Elimination, and in rounds 2 and 3 I ended up killing all 4 of the opposing team. Both rounds I killed my opponent, got over to my nearest teammate just as they were executed. Killed that enemy in 1v1 as well, and then fought the remaining 2 enemies in a 1v2. This was pre-revenge nerf, and I was playing as Nobushi. I felt a little bad for the opposing team - they were boneheads that just mashed heavy at me when in 1v2, so I got revenge almost immediately and killed both with a single zone attack.

Not sure if you call it carrying the team, but I've also had a handful of epic moments at the end of Skirmishes and Eliminations. While I won't discredit whatever effort the rest of my team put in before I was left as last man standing, I can for sure say that in the following stories, my actions won the game.
I was in a Skirmish on the Sanctuary Bridge map, both teams were in break, and I watched in horror as every single one of my teams icons turned to a skull. I was last man standing against 4 and I was on about 10% of my health. I realised one of my team mates was revivable, so I made my way around the map, evading pursuit, and managed to reach the heal on the bridge across from what would be A in Dominion. I dropped down right where the guy I could revive was, only to find him guarded by a Valkyrie and an Orochi. I thought that was game over. Then I noticed they were both very low health, so in I went, they battered me, and I limped backwards, all of us now on about 10% health. There was a brief Mexican standoff, then the Valkyrie lunged forward just as I whiffed a heavy attack and she sort of flew through the air into my sword and dropped dead. That gave me Revenge and activated my Crossbow, so as the Orochi hit me he fell down, I shot him, hit him and he died. Then I revived my team mate, A Lawbringer, who promptly ran off. Thanks pal! It was now 2 vs 2 from 1 vs 4. A few moments later I saw an enemy drop dead, gg LB. Now 2 vs 1. Next thing I know an enemy Conqueror comes tearing down the main path towards me with the LB hot on his heels, sees me, stops, at which point the LB impaled him into the nearest wall as I ran over and smacked him one. VICTORY.
Another time it was also me, alone, in a break, in Skirmish. I managed again to evade the enemy, and revive a team mate. This one had been left unguarded, the 4 enemies were fighting a Captain and minions a few feet away, lol. They sort of all saw me at once, just as the revive completed, and came charging over. The Berserker I revived legged it. Thanks Pal! I prepared to meet my maker. Obviously the 4 enemies wanted me dead most as they ignored him (it's a Peacekeeper thing) but of course this gave me Revenge. This was pre-nerf Revenge so I was holding my own for a while and managed to kill 2 of them. Suddenly as I am about to die the Berserker and another team mate he had run off to revive come tearing back and we finished the final 2 enemies together. I had turned a 1 vs 4 into a 3 vs 2. VICTORY.
Third most memorable time was in an Elimination. Last man standing again (this seems to happen to me a lot, lol) and it was Round 5. I know I have 3 team mates spectating and the whole match depends on me. No revives this time. All my team mates are executed. I killed their Valkyrie just as her 3 team mates found us and piled in, I didn't get to do an execution in time. They revived the Valkyrie, and then all 4 jumped me at once. I got Revenge and killed one, and they revived again, I killed another, and another, and another ... and then it was just me .. and the same damn Valkyrie. My Revenge had expired and I had 10% health, one hit would kill me. She was on about 75% health. I had an audience of 6 dead people spectating. I darted left, right, left, evaded every blow, stuck a dagger in from one side, a sword in from the other ... and she backed off as now both of us were on 10% health. The tension was insane. One more hit on either of us would decide the match. She darted forward and I Sidestep stabbed her and she died, and the emote chat lit up with Wow! Good Fight! Wow! Good Fight! from my team and theirs. Totally epic moment. A 1 vs 4 victory single handed. I was actually shaking from the adrenaline afterwards, haha. VICTORY.
These are the moments that make me love this game

I have seen a few players carry the game (not me) they were clearly way better than the rest of lobby. This is probably due to ****ty matchmaking.
The way they did it was by through an unbreakable defense right next to environmental hazard. They stay at one objective capping it for +2, and rest of their team distrupt other 2 objectives enough for them to reach 1k. Then this last player throws everyone into environmental one by one during revenge or at 1v1.
I have also seen some players totally skew the balance of teams by being invulnerable except during CGB (when someone GB attempts them), but most of those are just auto-block bot users.

I don't mind being in first place by ALOT. It just makes me feel good about how far I've come since the closed Beta.
But those times where I am on top by a mountain of points and my team is doing NOTHING? Those are the times where I come closest to leaving games. Especially if they are all Prestige 4+ and still garbage.
I'm good with carrying, but its always nice to know you are helping your team win. Not dragging their lifeless corpses across the finish line whether they like it or not.
