HORRIBLE teams every game

The body-blocking struggle is real. I get that it’s a good tactic against a hostile force and have even capitalized on it, but I should not be back pedaling and then suddenly stop because of a friendly. That’s been a cause of way too many deaths, particularly among brawlers who need to get out of an area in a hurry.

In regards to teams, I’ve had issues with team structure. Idk how you would even go about fixing this, but there have been times that I’ve picked a character I never would have even considered had I known what team structure we were about to face. Maybe repeated cases of bad luck, but I would appreciate the ability to change characters after a match starts. Even if it turns out you can only do so once after 5 minutes and you have to start at level 1 again or something like that so that everyone doesn’t just start changing characters like crazy. Maybe even make it so that if someone else on your team changes characters you have to wait another two minutes before you can do it. Sounds like a pain but the point is really to get a healer in case your team accidentally went completely aggro with no support and you’re against a team with a lot of sustainability and would benefit from the trade to a Miko or something. Or vice versa, like someone picked Ambra at the same time someone else chose Miko and maybe they want to be more of a damage dealer.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m fairly new to MOBA’s so I don’t know how a lot of other games deal with similar issues or whether what I recommend is a good idea or outright stupid. Just throwing in my thoughts because I want to see this game do well in the long run.

Its not so much horrible teams as just one terrible player can ruin a game. Ex. True story:

Some random internet guy chose Kelvin then spent an entire Incursion collecting shards for his triple legendary loadout. He was the best player then enemy team had, unfortunately he was our side. He collected so many shards I got my loadout without ever leaving the lane. He didn’t fight really at all. He said he was “jungle-ing.” In Battleborn? Really? Then when we finally called for a surrender he refused saying he just got his loadout he was about to go ham. He was level 5, the other team was 7-9. He then proceeded to feed tower diving the other team before we finally succeeded in surrendering.

I’m pretty sure in his mind he was playing correctly and we were the ones screwing up. I’m also pretty sure basic arithmetic was not his strong suit.

actually, the most, is alani release fault.

btw i have more win than loss, but many times i have to swap to miko because no healers nor supports in our team.
the only advice i can give you is to set your priorities

want to have fun? Play the char you want and try to skill with em by helping, teaming up and carrying your team.
want to win? Play the role needed.
