For me there are 2 big reasons why i stopped play team games:
- The TG ladder is a mess. Elo doesnt seem to mean anything meaningfull. (Analyses of the ratings - Spotting the issues)
- This lag of communication.
TGs are just decided by who has the best player and there isnt any team strategy involved. It is just 4 individuals vs 4 other individuals that on paper form a team. That is what i feel by playing most team games.
