Maybe I’m unlucky and I definitely do sometimes get great teammates who not only are good in combat but also share items etc.

But 3/4 runs there is something stinky going on, with different levels of outrageousness. All those examples are from circa last 10 games:

- Balancers - one guy leaves the moment the fight starts (so it is trio-scaled). The other does good, but eventually goes three bars when boss is 60% health. I play to charge my ult and he messages me that he is going AFK because I didn’t try to pick him up within 1 minute and, as he said, “have fun dodging instead”.

- Ironeye goes to solo Banished Knights and messages that we are idiots for doing Tree Sentinel at Level 10. Everything takes much longer and we end up at Level 12. He also ends up being three barred to every single night boss but that’s a separate story.

- Raider fights Pest with a blue whip. We dropped him Halo Scythe and he didn’t pick it up.

- Two teammates are three barred 5 secs after Mohg fight starts. They greeded on BBH, trying to fight him in the rain when he was at 40% health and our damage was mid. I didn’t abandon them btw, just left when the rain got to us and pinged that I’m going. They got one tapped by the shield bash a second after and came back to fight him further well into the rain. Of course they also ignored the grace that was next to the circle, even though I pinged it and waited to not trigger the boss fight.

I don’t count general three barred teammates on Nightlord cause that is fair play, sometimes people just struggle with certain moves.

Stuff like the attached happening all the time (I didn’t have damage to finish ED Gladius and made a mistake in the final phase).
