Team stacking

**Teh Munk** · 10-18-07, 04:19 PM

Is there anything that can be done against team stacking. like on d2 when the t's are up 20-1. everyone wants to have fun but its hard when half the players are getting owned. All it ends up doing is making them leave because they get tired of getting their asses kicked every round. I know some people are kind enough to switch over when they notice the other team needs some help. But is there anything else that can be done so that everyone for the most part has more fun and more of a challenge? i know a lot of it has to do with team play, but still there is a point where flat out skill is needed to balance stuff out. just a concern from your friendly neighborhood munk

Admins do a great job at switching players around to compensate stackage accordingly...

Maybe there wasn't an admin present, which would most likely lead to this problem.

Oxymoron.

Usually when that happens the losing team isn't getting there act together and following the calls, or so it was in my experiences.

th admin does very often switch a player from the winning tam to the losing team, problem is, they seem to always switch the person in last place, whihc really doesn't help the team at all

Half of the times the teams aren't even stacked, its just the other team doesn't want to get their shit together. And that is their problem, and for all i care... they can lose 100-0. I go to the other side whenever they need the help, and i straighten their shit out... and by God, we won many rounds. Somebody needs to nutt-up and become a leader, call out strats and rushes, call out enemies, yell at people not using their mics...etc

THAT's how you win.

Everyone read his first sentence. Now read it again.......now read it for a third time. That is a huge reason why teams lose by double digit rounds.

My only concern with team stacking, is the fact that taking the players (the whole team) of the team that is winning 20-0 and switching them with players that havent won a round, DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. Technically the teams are the same, just with different names (T/CT), skins, and color on the score board. Evening the teams, and evening the score are two different things.

CSS... We all know this game by now. Almost anyway time one team is getting whipped it is a lack of teamwork more than anything else. Rules and admins can't solve your tactical problems.

Very true. The amount of teamwork needed will vary depending on who the opposition is, but it's still the problem of losing teams.
