Hmm...I wonder how a lot of people get highly ranked?

Is it skill that brings them there? For some, yes. But let me tell you this. I'm ranked ~10,000 and making my way lower and lower pretty quick as of lately. I never team. My name says it all.

But I'm not here to talk about myself. I have been recently running into teams of 3+. It's ridiculous. Teaming alone is pathetic enough. Having fun with friends is fine, but don't do more than 4 games as a team...you can fight each other in the hunger games to make it more fun, actually.

I've been looking at the stats of players who team, and the ones who survive the most have been ranked 3000 and under. This team of 3 took me on in demon's breeze. They weren't very good, either. All of them were ranked under 300. We all had the same stuff, so they just outnumbered me. I out-sniped the 2nd, and the 3rd got me from when I was super low -_-

They weren't nearly as good as your average noob with a steve skin. They were awful, yet they kept teaming to win. Something needs to be done.


*IMPORTANT* Don't go along saying get more skill or find better tactics scrub. While you can progress, they can too. No matter how skilled you are, as long as they are almost as skilled as you, they can always win. Always. Why? The numbers in teammates. It's annoying when you KNOW you're better yet you can't win because of a team.

Think about it. There's a team of two. You know how to deal with scrubs like them. What do you do? Well, use your tactics of course! But they are also smart, and know what to do too. 2v1. People slightly worse than you, but still able to kill you. While you may get one down, the other will still get you. It's cheap.




In conclusion, there needs to be a limit. No more than 2 for a team is what I'd love, but 3 is probably what would get implemented and enforced. I still find teams to be unfair. I'm a competitive player, and I feel as if there is a n00by tactic, I can't use it because it requires no skill. There's no "good feel" when I win yet teamed.

A few things to say.

1. Mcsg had, has and never will have a teaming rule. If you can't beat them join them.
2. A thread with the same main idea/concept has been made multiple times. Next time search your topic a bit before you make repeat threads.
3. QA:TL?

There's nothing wrong with change. Somethings are for the better. Who else hates getting teamed up against some nubs you know you can take on if only you weren't getting hit twice while you can only hit ONE of the sources? Or maybe getting hit 3 times....and sometimes 4 or even this "stream team" of 7 ._.

I personally love teams. It makes you think strategically and logically, and really trains your mind to make quick decisions. Taking out teams is all a part of the fun, but just remember not to say "gg 2ez rekt" when you do so :p

People usually team with each other because it gets lonely playing alone.

Please read everything. First of all DevBlock, I said there was nothing wrong with teaming every now and then for FUN. Don't do it excessively, and don't go super hardcore with a team of 3 or 4. That's no fun. And also, if anything, teaming up doesn't make you think more. It only causes you to rely more on backup or might even make you play more casual. Or maybe that's just me.

*sigh* Please. Just leave this thread if you don't understand a thing. Having a screenshot of those stats is pretty much bragging. No one honestly cares to see your stats, and I never said that you claimed to be a god. It's implied in the way you act. Please learn your English a bit more before trying to understand me.

And who the hell are you faggalicious? Some "retired 12 year old" who's braggin about his stats? Yeah I've seen you team before btw, and I've killed you. Stop acting like some god on a video game.
tbh, you are acting like you are some kind of god, whats wrong with teaming? Some people just get bored of soloing. Think about how long Mcsg has been a server, the higher ranked players have most likely been playing for about 2 years, where solo...after solo...after solo...after solo just gets boring. I personally would have quit Mcsg a looooooooong time ago if it wasnt for playing with friends (And clans). You also complained about stream teams...Generally in the lobby, the people in a stream will say something along the lines of "#StreamTeam" so you can easily see when they are in your game. (besides, most stream teams are terrible, and easy to take out :3). Also fighting teams is going to challenge you, because these days on Mcsg, you never really get any "intense 1v1s" anymore. I personally love fighting teams of 3, because I can actually challenge myself and even if I know im about to die, I like to screw over the team as much as possible xD.
Bottom line: Teaming is a part of the game that should never have a limit/taken out of Mcsg, or it would get waaaaayyy to boring.

There is honestly nothing that you or that we can do about teams. Teams have always been and will always be a part of how people play video games. There is nothing wrong with playing with your friends.

Also, if we set a limit on how big a team can be, there would be no point in having clans on MCGamer. These clans have been a part of this community for quite a while and they will most likely stay that way as long as MCGamer exists.

If there is any more flame on this thread, it will be locked. Consider this as a warning.

EDIT: Thread moved to the Survival Games Discussions section.
