I'm never against winning, but man it's still a mixed emotion when you've only got 7k damage and played for under 5 minutes and won. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
537 [KNTAI] Battlecruiser_Amagi [KNTAI] Members 3,134 posts 9,120 battles Report post #3 Posted April 27, 2017 ^ The enemy team was playing this at full blast, I'd wager. I think my fastest game (lost I think) was 4-5 mins. What can you do when get steamrolled? Get steamrolled faster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They feel so incomplete and leave a sour taste in my mouth, even when I'm on the winning side. Sad part is, I've been seeing more and more of these types of games lately. Just one sided steam rolls where one team completely dominates the other. They're like a domino effect, one team loses 2 or 3 ships, and usually its the end. I really miss those really close games where its down to one or two ships fighting it out, all of them on their last legs, where the game could literally swing either way. The last minute nail biters. Win or lose, I ALWAYS enjoy those types of games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm never against winning, but man it's still a mixed emotion when you've only got 7k damage and played for under 5 minutes and won. I had a battle yesterday over in 5 minutes in which I took 2k damage ina cruiser. I'm still rather shocked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3,370 Terrible_Turtle Members 5,202 posts Report post #11 Posted April 27, 2017 WTH!!! Steamrolling has been pretty ridiculous lately. Yeah, it has. Of the six games I played today, five of them were steamrolls. And I was on the receiving end of the butt-whoopin'. That's my cue to stop for the day.

Having been on both sides of those matches, I find neither side enjoyable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6,759 [RLGN] Estimated_Prophet Members 19,136 posts 35,167 battles Report post #13 Posted April 27, 2017 The ones that always throw me are where one team loses points so fast from the start, (the usual base 300,) that they reach 0 and the game just stops... It leaves you all Huh? Wut? Not even really a steamroll, though likely to be one, expensive ships just go bye-bye and that's all folks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
227 [SPTR] SullyQuindarius Members 2,462 posts 3,945 battles Report post #14 Posted April 27, 2017 I've been noticing a big lack of playing for the caps. Two games in a row, Alabama and Aoba - my team ignored the caps and lost because of it. A third match, in Aoba, had me on the winning side - the three remaining BBs on my team beat four Battleships, a cruiser and a destroyer because their team ignored the caps until the end of the match.

114 [-K--] mmfullen Members 663 posts 7,529 battles Report post #15 Posted April 28, 2017 I think my fastest tier 10 games was under 5 minutes on a loss. Enemy team zero'd us before I could get my damage in as a Gearing. It sucks when most of your team rushes a cap and gets annihilated while you're at another cap. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
837 [WOLF9] Fletcher7_1944 Members 4,680 posts Report post #16 Posted April 28, 2017 WTH!!! Steamrolling has been pretty ridiculous lately. Hear Hear!!! Yesterday, EVERY game was over in under 6 minutes. I think the longest Match was 6:45- and that's only because we had to chase down a CV that was hiding in a corner. The match was effectively over by the 5 minute mark. BOOOO- HISSSSSS!!!! It's just so unsatisfying- the game starts; enemies are spotted, shells fly- and POOF! it's over. Yeah, we won, but yippie skip- nobody earned much, and damage totals were just sad... I feel like I just totally wasted that premium camo, Damage Control II; and the signals I loaded.

3,999 [V_KNG] Herr_Reitz Beta Testers 13,205 posts Report post #17 Posted April 28, 2017 The standard mode has two caps, right... as opposed to domination which can have three or four... so there's less of a chance to get points from capping in standard mode... hence I think the dds go all out with their initial torp loads then hope they can run for the hills before anyone spots them.
