    Chaos ball cracks me up....
    The point of the game is to get and hold the ball, right?
    Ok, well my experience with chaos ball has been this.... (ps4 eu)

    Team 1 will get ball and run. At this point, you would think team two and three would attack team one, but that doesn't happen in most cases. They either start attacking eachother until either side is missing a few players and are weaker going against the team with the ball, or they see the other team attacking team one (the team with the ball) and they decide to start attacking that team from behind.
    In most cases (not all, just most)this leads team one winning.
    I can't tell you the number of times I've yelled at my T.V. "Get the ball, you morons!" when my team is getting bogged down in a fight with the other team that doesn't have the ball...and it happens alot. With players I see frequently...enough that they should know better.
    It's as hilarious as it is frustrating.
    Definitely the worst game type...

    At this point I don't really have one, I played objectives before but now I only go to the objectives to fight people. Deathmatch is okay, no matchmaking causes problems and they need to remove the sigil. I honestly would rather have a free for all mode or a death match where you actually have to pick up the person "soul" in order to get the kill.

    The problem isn't the game type, it is trash players.

    Domination
    Deathmatch and domination are the only two that are really good, IMO.

    Capture the relic and Crazy King are just a really dumb idea in this kind of game, totally skewed to just having a crazy fasts stamina build and ignoring fights.

    Chaosball can be fun on the rare occasion, but there are so many cheap exploitable tactics and buggy behaviour picking up the ball which totally ruin it.

    Deathmatch if there were no sigils. Domination is fun too. Relic is hit or miss. Sometimes it's super boring, but when it's close it requires the most amount of team strategy. Crazy king is super boring.

    One of the reasons why people said even before BGs launchen:

    They need seperated grp + solo queue.
    They need a ranking system.

    Those missing happen also to be the reason why i hardly step foot into BGs. It´s either getting stomped by premades or stomping noobs - with maybe 1 out of 15 games being interesting.

    Grab bag. It's healthy to have suffering objectives. Death match is fine at first but gets dull. Crazy king I like least, its just odd..

    Oh, what a relief! I rarely play BGs, and one reason is that I don't care about the stupid game modes! Just give me Deathmatch!

    I think Chaosball is a lot of fun as well, since it is one of the only instances in the game where building for an as tanky as possible build can actually be viable. And it encourages the use of ultimates that otherwise never get used: bolstering darkness, magma armor, nova, etc. It is a totally different dynamic.

    Crazy king is the absolute worst of the bunch. Total dog tier trash design. It is all about running. A totally *** team with 1 shot fodder players can win just by sprinting around. And there is no reliable way to see which of the flags is the oldest. It's all based on memorization, which I suck at lol.

    Haha, I know what you mean! It's a constant internal struggle for me to play the objective vs kill that pesky nightblade (and all other players but mostly nightblades).

    By the way, I think I play bg's against you a lot paallterrain. My gt is ThePhatLard. I usually see you use Shrouded Daggers and steel tornado. At least that's what comes up on my death recap. You get a ton of kills, so keep up the good work.
