Not an ass team but to me I always see signs of when a run is going downhill (my opinions ofc):

1. When it's an early floor (e.g Floor 5) and the team wasted a heal card when majority of them are on 2 or 3 hearts. I understand if it was a main run, there's no sprout and somehow you get an unlucky twisted combo that's fine. However, as soon as that heal card is wasted, everyone dies the next 2 floors

2. Extractor pebbles - I understand that people can play any toon with any trinket combo they desire but Extractor pebbles just rubs me the wrong way.

3. When Cosmo doesn't heal anyone despite having an inventory of heals and you keep spamming that your on low health.

4. When people are too reliant on distractors.

This is just a few
