I’ve never had a good experinece in team games. I either get a worthless teamate who doesn’t communicate or sits there the entire battle and does nothing, or I either get ganged up on by both opponents (regardless of my ELO) and I end up wasting all my recources to the point where I can’t keep up, and it sucks even more when your ally does nothing to assist you. I was once playing as Tezcatlipoca and my ally was Freyr. He had an enourmous army and had higher ELO then everyone else, but he just sat there the entire time while I was getting relentessly attacked by both my opponents, and i was spamming the ingame chat for him to do anything and it wasn’t until he got to the mythic age he actually started assisting me and miraciously we won. Still its not a fun experience where you’re just the honorary punching bag
Unfortunately this is the matter is every team based mode. Some one will have to carry a heavier toll.
I personally play only team games and love them way too much.
Are you interested in teaming up sometime?
