    LS ganking

    When did games in LS suddenly become a gank spawn trap fest.... getting tedious.

    Another mysterious thing ive noticed, when the home base is being annihilated, people still press the middle objective ... when its not even in your teams hands or neutral, wierd..... then you spawn and your faced 3, 4 vs 1. Yawn. Help a brother out take the home base first instead of looking after the K/D

    Depends on the game Im afraid. And its all due to the unbalanced matchmaking. If youre unfortunate to face a team of experienced miccd up team with optimized Striker/Nomad/Pred gearsets working together, they will most of the time just swamp over the opposition one by one so that the end result is what you experienced. That doesnt even take into account the matching of players experience in pvp. That just amplifies it.

    Used to happen all the time with the glitches from previous updates. Alpha bridge and general loadouts for two.

    Honestly it has always been that way. You have options to spawn somewhere else. All shooter respawn games have this issue.

    I think I see your problem. If I have learned anything about PvP in TD it is this, you are making it about you. In this circumstance, I think it is common for the PvP diehards to state "Git Gud".

    You need to understand to most players don't care about co-op or team play PvE, PvP , or DZ. All they care about is how to pad their numbers so they can claim they are the best ever.

    My advice is to find a team of like minded players that are willing to work together and good luck Agent. You will need that.

    The way I look at is why keep banging your head against the wall. If I get melted (not just killed) in the spawn 2 times, I will spawn forward (or run to B), then make B neutral and then take over their spawn. If I am getting spawn camped, then they won't likely have enough players to defend B and their own spawn. Remeber, spawn camping does not always equal a win.

    I love when half the team goes to farm and gets like 20k points not careing for the game coz you can't spend all these points and the rest of the team gets ****ed.

    Main spawn area should be protected, make it 'out of bounds' or put some turrets there

    Only equals a win when you are pushed to your home spawn and camped.
