Микайо really pulled out Sun Tzu in a casual video game mode. This is embarrassing.

There are many educated and smart people playing in PvP communities, I recommend it.

Hmm interesting.
Tell me about the undeniable advantage a talentless inexperienced, (but organised) PvE group trying ebgs for the first time has, over a well trained PvP group without a leader…
The fact that im unable to see the difference between Zado and Larkus should tell you enough. They both make the experience miserable for the other side. End of story. So here we have Zado like players complaining about unfairness while at the same time doing the exact same thing to every other uncoordinated team. This is my experience and it’s almost every single game like this. I used to love doing epics, I do not anymore. You both are the cause of players leaving frustrated, that is the simple truth.

if that reply was supposed to go to me and not to Gnomechomsky, I already responded to the guy and told him that all he has to do is direct his team with instructions to defeat an opponent like Zado, because this is what I do when I play for the alliance and face him and I defeat him quite often.
I assume you mean organized raid? What’s an organized raid?
When I write instructions, I can’t rely on obedience by the team. They do what they want. It’s like herding cats. I am happy when a fraction of them does the thing I want them to do, because that is already enough in many cases. Often there are situations where they do the right thing minutes later after being reminded 5 times in a row or sometimes they don’t react at all and the objectives are lost.
I’ve joined Drex 2 weeks ago and played a few rounds with him, I mostly let him lead and concentrated on fighting. The team disobeyed instructions and you could tell Drex was getting frustrated by the tone of his calls. The horde had no leader but we lost.
This is the experience when you play as a leader without a large premade, sometimes your team is bad and you just lose.
So, did you TRY to lead your team with calls?
This is why the win rate against random players is not 100%, but about 95%.

Sure if half of your community is in that bg you meet on more equal terms than a pug team would.
I also had some Wintergrasps with the alt of his pockethealer we somehow didnt stomp the teamfight with 40-0 40-1 or similiar. We lost. Was it the missing Pi or maybe missing all the ppl who tag along with him 
You can defeat him emeg or others when they are actually 1-3 People and you have some baseline dps/hps. As soon as its more than that you lost by default.
This is not the gotcha moment you think it is.
If by half of my community you mean my warrior buddy, then yeah. 
My groups usually aren’t very large.
Two can play this game. Have you stopped leading through /rw when you noticed that the other team is uncoordinated? You just don’t want to hear that you give people an equally miserable experience.
Have you stopped calling incs when you had an inc to your base when playing Arathi Basin because the other team also ghosts their bases and doesn’t call their incs?
No, because that would be stupid. Proper communication is how you win. In epic bgs, that’s even more true than in regular random bgs.
No, I hear from my team that they are grateful and thank me for the great lead instead. And the opponents could have easily beaten me had they bothered to organize and communicate. 
Thanks for confirming that you don’t care. You’re literally no different.

What is it that you think Fistus is doing wrong?
Queuing with <5 players, making calls, using /rw…
I agree it’s frustrating (a miserable experience) if our side doesn’t take advantage of those things (or has rando’s who ignore calls) but surely that’s not his doing.
Your ability to only read what you want to read is astounding. Stay mad, I guess.

You don’t need a paper that literally quotes “sync premades” to show its impact. Queue-syncing is just one way to create mismatched games (stacked, coordinated teams vs. randoms). What matters is the effect of the mismatch on the player base.
Dismissing the study because it doesn’t name “q-sync” is like dismissing second-hand smoke research because it doesn’t say “cigar” vs. “cigarette.”
The cause & effect (mismatch → losses → quitting) is the point.
And what basis do you have to complain?
Sync premades bend the rules and join with a group size that’s not allowed normally and it leads to 99% wins.
I write a bit of lines into raid chat and win 60-80%.
Sometimes I bring 1-2 friends (joining as a group of up to 5 is allowed).
I don’t take nearly as much advantage of this group limit as I could.
All I do is also available to you. If you can write posts like this, you can also lead teams, because giving simple instructions like “go to objective X” takes literally 0 effort.
It doesn’t take that much to beat me in an epic bg and it’s the same thing for Zado and the others. And all of this you can do spontaneously while in the round.
Sync premades have the same advantage in coordination + 10-15 good fighters who also reliably obey calls, unlike random teams. Try defeating THAT when you haven’t brought a sync premade with you.
Bro, I’m not mad, I’m mildly annoyed by sync premades and the mental gymnastics you undergo to equate things that are clearly not equal (which you can see at plain sight).
If it really is equal, dafuq do you even need sync premades for?
You know why, because it’s much easier to win in a sync premade than having to carry a team on your own.
20 years, same thing 
God, why am I here?

Because you want to perform mental gymnastics to try and prove to yourself and others somehow that what you’re doing is the right thing to do.

So you don’t. I figured…
