I have been a long-time player of this game for more than 4 years and have spent more than 2000 hours on it. As an experienced 4v4 player, I have reached the top ten positions for more than once and can maintain a very high win rate. However, regardless of how good I play and how many good and skilled players I have encountered, there will always be someone , in team games, pretending he/she is the boss and able to judge the other players' skill and play style with very toxic languages. I have encountered this issue(yes, even as an experienced and good player), and so do my friends. This becomes a problem since I have some friends who just got introduced into the game, feard to play by themselves because it is not rear to meat someone like what I just described, especially in low-level rank games. I hope there is someone who could please tell me a way that I can tell my friend and also use by myself to let those players shut up yet without rage quiting.
Something about me:
I think am decent player of strategy games but I have discovered COH2 multiplayer like half year ago
I really like team battles in games like CoH.. (3v3 and 4v4 mostly)
I started to learn evething about game against AIs and I was ready like in 1 month to go into multi .... I was suprised how low skilled player base is there (specially 3v3) So I was like ok lets try more matches to rank up ... my first rank was 12 and i started to get higher and higher ... I was really happy cause I reached ranks 17-18s very easily BUT after that real problem began ... I even reached rank 20 with OST with 70% winrate after like 120 matches... and for what? I have a session like 5-7 matches in row when i got into my team stupid/never punished (huge problem of this game) leavers or guys who after losing first tank/sguad just give up and leave or even stay like xxxx and they dont even let the AI play ... I thought when i was happy with progress that the guality of teams will improve with ranks ... NO... just NO .... I am even disgusted how MM works .... putting together ranks 20 and like 8-10? what is that ... not funny for me when they are against me and absolutely not funny when they are in my team ... Here comes the response to yours comment ... yes .. sometimes I write to someone in my team what to do ... at least protecting theirs flank so i cannot be flanked all the time or dont built stupid arty when we lack AT capability and so on ... or even force them to leave the battle and let the AI play - yes when i see its 30 mins of battle and my teammate has like 2-3 sguads of pioneers and thats all ... I am not pinging into map cause it makes my headaches but I sometimes I really wonder how can I be against/or with such apes in battle ... not funny at all... example like 2 weeks ago i Met Sturmpanther in battle on Redballexpress ... he had huge win strike with Brits just like me with OST ... i was really happy to meet someone who is very high skilled ... guess what happened? I was together with ranks 15-16 and he had some china boyzzz around rank 9 in team ... 10 mins long battle and he was rage cause he wrote something to chat about his teammates .. such a experienced player .... even better is when I was on rank 20 and my teammate cannot join the battle and second one leaved after 10 sec.... I had more battles like this and after 3 weeks trying to climb up I got down in like 2 hours not even because of my fault ...
So this game HAS ONE BIG ISSUE
MM os totally broken and needs to be fixed and leavers needs to be punished (+ guys who cannot connect cause they play on calculator too)
This game has low skilled player base so there is just not enough players in team battles = The game is already dead
Solution? I started to play 2v2 with my friend and last battle we played together we beated Crossfire+Traitor (both TOP 10 players in 2v2 - one of them is even first) like 400-0 .... looks like 2v2 is much more competetive than these JOKE 3v3 or 4v4 games ....
If your friends want to enjoy the game on skilled level they should also play 2v2 or have a team into 3v3/4v4 and hope they will meet some proper times once per week (hahahaha)
btw. Only way how to be on top of the leaderboard is to find out some proper players and push a button to find automatch in the same time ... this tell me my friend who plays COH on high level for a long time ... so u will be "cheating" or u will be cheated by leavers/RNG or apes whos are everywhere in team battles
Sry for my potato English (Second language to learn in da school)
I hope my guick response on how the teamgames on proper ranks looks like helped you
