Can't get past 1300. 「dookie」ter teams just want to sit back and hide/snipe. I move up to cap, and get blown apart. Look back and 「dookie」ters sitting in the back, hiding/sniping

I think you need to learn how to carry.
What is your hangar lineup?

Unfortunately, that is what the current league system encourages. You get more points for more damage. People who spend time capping are at a disadvantage. It is very discouraging for those of us who like to win rather than just climb the league rankings.

I think the thing that's often ignored by ranters is that you are capable of getting top 3 damage WHILE capturing beacons. I've only been playing this game for a short amount of time, but I've already climbed into mid-Gold, pushing towards Diamond. Build a high DPS bot and learn how to engage effectively while capturing beacons along the way. Anyone who thinks that only capturing beacons is an effective playstyle probably doesn't contribute to their team in a meaningful way.
The league system focuses on damage because it's a good indicator of how much contribution you've made to the team. The damage you do is also (theoretically) proportionate to your hangar level, and the more damage you do the more you (theoretically) contributed through outplaying and inhibiting your enemy team. By giving gold for capturing they incentivise players to capture beacons as well. Unfortunately you do get on teams that don't capture beacons, but I've noticed that above even Silver II this is incredibly rare, and gets gradually more rare the higher up you get.

You are absolutely correct. We are capable of getting Top 3 damage WHILE capturing beacons. The problem is that when Blues go camping or go chasing after Reds all over the map AND ignore beacons, someone has to get away from shooting Reds to do the capping. I tend to be that someone as I can't seem to ignore red shafts of light being left alone. And that is how I get screwed as that almost automatically make me the lowest damage producer bar tankers. The need to flip beacons quickly to manage the beacon bar also means that priority has to be given to unguarded beacons, especially when Reds congregate aound 1-2 beacons. Those guarded beacons have to be attempted later as they take more time to liberate, and there is a chance you are fried before capping it. If you start there and get fried, it's a double whammy as you lost time on beacons and you have to start over from spawn and potentially a gazillion miles away from the beacons to flip. What I can tell you, if every Blue carry their weight beacon capping, I average around 400k damage with my Stalker Vityaz Golem hangar. If not, that average drops below 200k. |
