However, his anger towards clans is misdirected, i think. No point in blaming people for trying to organize themselves. It's inevitable.
When it comes to the power of individual skill versus the power of good tactics, i think both are a big factor and they aren't mutually exclusive. Often, when a server is getting 'steamrolled', many things play a factor. Not just the individual skill of the dominant clan or the tactics the winning team is using, but also the de-motivational effect on the losing team (people spawning later, people leaving the 'losing team') and the lack of tactics on the losing team.
Actually I don't rage against clans, I just flamed them a bit because of the "Fuck you, pubs! Because you don't organize yourself in clans you deserved to lose. If we are constantly running on x5, the game is just perfect... what? Empathy? For whom?"-attitude.
I admit if the random players would tend to play more with tactics, clan stacks wouldn't be so much of a problem, at least for some time. But even if the average tactical skills on the servers would grow (something I'd LOVE to see), clan players would adapt, start using tactics, too, and we would end up where we have been some time ago. It's just the fact that personal skill still matters a lot in this game, if not, most. It's not the tactic, that makes clans win, it's simply their superior skills.
Yes, some of them, like Byzantinum, tend to stick together, but that doesn't make it a tactic. Usually, when the team decides to do a special thing like "attack left" or "defend ruins", and you have the rare case that most of the team actually listens, the Byzantinum assholes (
) usually do the opposite ("attack right" "charge") for the extra thrill, honour, challenge, whatever, resulting in the rest of the team being slaughtered, Byzantinum being slaughtered almost, but with a few decisive kills at the end of the round they manage to win it. They don't even try to play with the "stinky pub peasants". The only reason why they win is their skills in combination with the most basic tactic of sticking together, which shouldn't count as tactic at all.
Seriously, you can't accuse public players of not using tactics, when clans don't do it themselves! It's the wrong reason why clan stacks win maps! I haven't seen a clan "lead" their team more than a couple of times, they don't care at all.
So stop telling me I would complain about OP teamwork. I complain about OP nolifers who can block and feint and spam and chamber the shit out of everyone, grouping up to collaboratively block and feint and spam and chamber the shit out of the random pubs, and then telling them it's their own fault and that they want to play together, so who cares what the randoms think.
