[quote who="obscenitor" reply="6" id="2390278"] Have you played Yzerman25 in 1vs1 yet to see how QoT Shamblers compare to Erebus Nightwalkers? Then you'd get my picture, I can assure you that. You just don't see her downsides now because you do not play premade vs. premade with QoT.I've never even spoken to the guy. I hadn't heard of him until you mentioned him, it's a very arbitrary hurdle to jump to get you to acknowledge that you're not the only person in the whole world qualified to

[quote who="pacov" reply="51" id="2390237"] I think I've played more 5v5s than any other group. We tried labelling it 5v5 Premade. You can check my record to see how well that went. I knew that comment would get your attention, Poly.[/quote] I like being the evidence 5v5s work fine. (especially since the 5 of us were on a LAN on the same network) And that 5v5 Premade never works. It would have to be pre-arranged.

[quote]Why don't you try hosting a 5v5 premade only lobby and let me know how long it takes to fill up for you? Just wait it out. What's that? 10 minutes have gone by and your lobby is completely empty? Why not try a 4v4 premade and tell one of your buds to take a hike? Oh, you tried that too and your lobby is still empty? You'd rather just get a game going instead of playing the exciting lobby game? Well, sorry, you're a jer

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="42" id="2390037"] I play with organised teams every night over LAN, Hamachi and through the offical server browser. You simply need to put your feelers out there and make contact with other teams in your time zone and get organised. That's the primary reason why have an offical set of forums - this isn't just a place to give your opinion.[/quote] Unfortunately it has never been that easy. The only place to really check is IRC and no one ever responds. A

[quote who="Demonic Spoon" reply="18" id="2389944"]How DARE people want to play a multiplayer team videogame with friends! Really, this whole argument is stupid. Premades only have a real advantage if they're on voice chat...and I'd argue that any modern multiplayer game should include VOIP ingame anyway, so I see that more of a flaw in DG as with premades vs pugs. It's just that the type of person who plays with friends is also more likely to be

[quote who="Cowbuttzex" reply="8" id="2389906"] In both of these instances you could of taken your 4 players put 2 on each team and had an interesting game. I don't feel bad for you at all that your rooms emptied out because those games would of been perfect definitions of what PUG stomping is. Honestly I don't understand why you are frustrated, you can't expect people to willingly get slaughtered game after game by your team as puggers. I have said this before, if you tr

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="29" id="2389642"]I think the solution isn't to discourage pre-mades but get TEAM matching in which is the long term goal here.[/quote] Bingo.

[quote who="pacov" reply="21" id="2389533"]Methinks the premade community would be much better off if Frogboy was in a premade and actually got to see the amount of crap we put up with. I like to get in PUG games when I can and host PUG ONLY matches and I inevitably get some knuckle head that jumps in the game, calls it a premade (even though the title is PUG ONLY) and leaves. This causes his teammate to leave, thinking he's been tricked by an evil premade. An

[quote who="EvilTwinTepe" reply="12" id="2389431"]I also find a point to agree with you too - I think the reason people dislike premades is because so many are all about the stomping. Maybe this will, in the long run, fix that, and good 'safe' premades will become known, over nastier pug-stomp ones.[/quote] I'm at a complete loss of words here. This makes no sense what so ever. There's good premades, and then bad premades? What?

Um. I get your point, but your math is wonky. My internet handled 5 of us on a LAN against other people online with lag only coming from other people. If there is a 10% chance a player will drop in a 3v3, you will play 9 games and on the 10th game someone will drop. If there is a 10% chance a player will drop in a 5v5, you will again play 9 games and on the 10th someone will drop. That is, unless you're saying each player has a 10% chance to drop. We can just blame it

[quote who="the_hunger" reply="10" id="2389403"]Great news. It was the lack of such lobby information that was driving me away from multiplayer. I personally think that premades will be fine and will be able to find games--there will just be less noob-stomping. Anyhow, I have always found it curious that some premades apparently do not want to play against other premades. Hmmmm....[/quote] That's a total fabrication. Premades want to play other decent players m

All goes back to Demigod's connectivity stuff. I really like 5v5s the best. 3v3s are kind of dull when you play a ton of 5v5s. I don't have the same enthusiasm for 3v3s that I do for 5v5s. 3v3s just are not as fun. Oh well. The game changes significantly depending on the size.

In all seriousness though, Dalzk is probably right. Which is unfortunate because we have no team automatcher yet and Frogboy has said the game was made for premades and it was thought it would be easier to get a premade together but it has not been. I don't know. Sure its nice seeing player information, but this has side effects. Such as forcing premades out of games unless the game is pre arranged or labelled premade. I don't know. I'm mixed on this one. Pick up group stomping gets o

In 5v5 games (I imagine I've played more than more 5v5s than anyone on this forum, which is sad because they're the best) though the entire game changes. You have more money than in 3v3 maps. Its a matter of format really.
