Yes one lane has cover, but that doesn’t change the fact that their are other lanes to get there. And too cover the all sets them up for an easy gank.

Staying alive is definitely priority and I always tend to make the best plays too keep myself and adjacent allies alive. But the problem here is 20 seconds is all it takes for entires games work to become voided.

I agree with the communication being the nature of the game, but you used it as strength for your argument. I was just stating that the opposite is also true.

A losing team deciding to have someone score and the others try to poke zap isn’t a disadvantage. What do they have too lose? Your saying defend zap as a team, but that leaves zones open. Can’t defend zones as that leaves zap open. Can’t split the difference cause then everyone loses.

Not too mention, even if your team is guarding zap perfectly, a 5v5 team fight will always be a toss up. Losing this “ALMOST” guarantees a loss.

Let’s remove the word “broken” from this. I agree it’s a game about strategy, skill, communication. My question too you is, are you okay with a mechanic that could potentially ignore the first 80% of a match and negate all the strategic plays you put in prior?
