That little spark

from Demigod Forums

of teamwork.

I've noticed that I can play a team with good players, they'll whoop us.  Next match, they're on my team and we're still losing.  Fairly easy to point out:

Commitment to teamwork.  I think we often get jaded in the game and turn selfish.  When 3 DGs are coming in and nobody calls out a target, we're already in trouble.  We're REALLY in trouble when 2 of us move to the fight, the 3rd turns back (for positioning reasons), which makes the 2nd DG turn back, which leaves the 1st DG to run for his life now.  It snowballs from there.

When a DG has 6500 HP, but "doesn't have any money!" for cit upgrades.

I even had a game where a "guy" (cough, MaddRakmos, cough) was screaming at me the whole match because I had an assassin oak with no monks for opening.  The other half of the story?  We had sedna and erebus.  Both with monks.  So I go BotF, banded and chest plate, so I can tank.  My two teammates screamed that monks (specifically monks, I know different tiers stack) stack, and I'm the worst player ever.  When I asked for one to go the other side, they gleefully denied me, that I must get my own. 

First thing I TRY to get out in a match with another general is: "U getting monks?".  If one person has them, especially if you will pair up with them, then you need to get tank items.  With the two armor pieces and BotF, you can nearly push 2 DGs off your lane, by yourself.

If you are wondering why you're "decent" team got pwned, it's probably these reasons.  Lack of detailed comm.  Snowball effect in "not being the first into the engagement", which promptly turns into a full retreat.  And "No $$$!", when you're buying crap for yourself.

 

I'm tired of seeing a LOOOOONG list of ONLY my allied chat comments.  If you want to win, you need to communicate.  Big time.  THen you'll be in my shoes for a while, getting hosed by silent teammates.  But if enough people do it, you'll meet up with someone in a game and you'll steamroll the enemy.

lol that is so lame.
anyone who refuses to split monks as a general is 100% noob imo.

as long as 1 general on the team has monks at the start of the game of a 2 laned map, its np and you can buy whatever you want. late game if you all stack different level monk idols you get imba heals though...

Teams can be successful with only 1 person talking, so long as the others are listening. In fact, everything is clearer with a central leader who decides targets and strategies.

Yes, but that's a huge assumption.  I'd say 100% of the time, nobody is talking because they're worried about their "builds" and staying in the comfort zone (watch people argue to be on mana side, to stay away from the inevitable 2v2 brawl on hp side). 

Nobody talks, nobody listens.  Rarely, when they do, our team has NEVER lost.

This is true. I wonder how hard it is to find a pre-made game?

it depends on how many people are on vent though we usually have enough for a 3v3 sometimes a full 4v4 or 5v5
