If you like Alani, paly Orendi to counter Pendles. Orendi owns him and their play styles are similar enough
People were getting complacent / lazy.
Adapt or die.
It’s evolution, baby!

Use a mic to tell your teammates whats up.

Have you tried using the on-line play section for your platform (or the unofficial Battleborn Discord site) to try and team up? Even a team of less-experienced players who were, at least, communicating, would probably be a better experience.
I’m not sure that the player base for that game is going to be any different if you are still going with random teams?

I feel you, but sounds more of an Oscar, Whiskey and Monty problem to me …

Well Sir,
THIS.
It is a major peeve of mine that people complain about lack of teamwork but won’t get on the mic. OP didn’t mention if he had a mic but if not, he has no room to complain.
IMO

Mics are funny in Battleborn.
I’ve been tending to stay off mine lately unless im specifically playing with friends (great matches yesterday by the way @easplund and @lostkrouu ) but if some serious s**t or a crazy intense match is going down, I’ll plug mine in and start talking.
Many times, suddenly, like my whole team will go on mic and start talking!
LOL!
So yeah, have your mic at hand.
Even if you don’t hear back from your team mates, they generally CAN hear you and will sometimes even listen and help!

For what it’s worth, OW won’t be much better. It’s equally as fun to be constantly flanked and burst down by a Reaper or Genji, with the rest of your team ignoring your frequent callouts to group up or defend the objective. I’d reckon you’d spend just as much, if not more, time respawning in OW from flanks because of the much lower TTK.
Agreed on the mic. I’m usually shyer on mic but in this game I notice people tend to listen more often when you say something. Not always ofc.

I had a mic, but it’s not like I was talking a while lot. I called out Pendles and tagged him.
I actually REALLY love this game. I just find myself getting really frustrated with it lately.
Would the discord site be applicable to Xbone?
Imma check it out.

Want to love Pendles?
Here’s the fix:
Play normal or advanced Helio, he’s a blast on that and you can learn so much about spawn points and AI.

A lot of the problem stems from this game being geared toward younger audiences and at the same time has a competitive oriented pvp which tends to draw in competitive people. Fun loving children mixed in with competitive adults is just not good.
Ha, that’s funny you said that. I got really annoyed at a Toby player on my team that just seemed down right suicidal. It had to be someone’s toddler that picked him BC he is “cute”.
I almost wish there were age brackets in games if it were feasible.
That would be best for everyone if such a system could be devised.
Just play Ambra and wreck his ■■■■ every time he tries to do his ■■■■■■ shenanigans. Ambra has 2 ways to de cloak him 1 is basically a death sentence on him and the other is a huge deterrent since anyone near the sunspot gets revealed.
True story had this happen yesterday, but I crushed that game with Ghalt…
Well the losing isn’t the same but the whole thrall pad thing is. Without a strong AoE move you can’t force him off the pad and shooting him is usually next to pointless. This is also why i duo almost every game thst and lvl 5’s.
Yeah, the thing I find most frustrating, is when the pings do not work!!
This happens so often now, despite the fact they said it was fixed, that it is increasingly difficult to communicate the simplest of things, like: “someone’s here”, or “kill this turret”.
Very frustrating.
As a person who has been playing Pendles a lot lately, I just want you to know that Ambra is making a big comeback because of her ability to reveal cloaked enemies. She makes me a very unhappy Pendles.

Ambra is my kryptonite. Which is why I don’t play Pendles on Overgrowth because it can be really hard to avoid her sunspots on that map.
As someone who owns both, if you hate stupidity and getting killed while asking for health, do not get Overwatch. As a support main, I’ve been killed by more Genjis than I can even try to count.
