Yeah... situational awareness, git gud or whatever, that just ain’t how the cookie crumbles.
You get into a game where the other team is hell bent on ganking as a team of 4 and it’s over. If your team will not cooperate then you get stuck with the 1 or maybe 2 that do, and you are still heavily outnumbered. I played a game literally 2 minutes ago where the other team coordinate their strikes on you one at a time, it’s like youre in permanent stagger. Revenge does nothing for you in this instance (if it works at all anyway), it’s not doing it’s job properly.
I’ll admit as far as the games state is now, yes they outplayed us. They did not play well though, and it reduced the games fun factor however to a flatline 0.

Now I’m not saying this is a foolproof strategy but it helps. Play the minion zones use them as cover if need be. It gives you the best access to the other 2 zones. While a gank squad is working on clearing to out to capture I either will hold my ground as a distraction or run. You only need one person in that area and really if you are a vanguard then that’s your go to spot. If your team play their classes and the game right it’s hard for a gank squad to form. Shut the enemy down fast by using the environment. You don’t have time to have a 1v1 right with someone. It sounds cheap to throw someone into a spike wall or off a ledge but this is a war and you don’t have time to have an honorable fight with someone. Plus this is a team based game. Have a diverse team of champions and classes. A balanced team can fair better then a team made up of only 1 character and or class. Players have got to get this mentality of 1v1 fights in a 4v4 game mode out of their heads. It rarely will happen and the other team if the chance comes will gang up on one person. Most maps are set up where the zones are in a line. Really you should be focusing on the zone closest to your spawn and the middle with the minions. Use your catapults to clear enemy minions. It’s much fast then hacking away and the points earn help your team. Set your feats to help your teammates more then for personal gain. If you see a team mate struggling help them by disrupting is opponent. Us melee, light attacks, guard breaks. Help set him up for an attack. The biggest issues gank squads have is they just attack and swing away. They rarely work together because everyone on their team seems to fight more to get the execution then playing as a team. I have been playing this way since season 5 started and I have to say I have had more comebacks and matches won then loses. Biggest thing I’m actually having fun with this game. Dominion is a battle field there is no honor or glory to be earned only victory. I’m not saying get down to the level of the gank squads but don’t think this game mode is for 1v1 fights either.
