    I just don't find it fun, particularly due to the requirement to hold your own relic in order to secure other team's relics.

    I get that it adds a sense of strategy to the game mode, in that you can prevent a team from scoring by snatching their relic, potentially stealing the other relic from them, and that's cool and all. But to me, it just slows the match down, and forces everybody to play defense in order for the match to actually move on.

    In my opinion, you should be able to secure other team's relics, even if you don't have your own, but your team should earn reduced points for doing so. Say, a quarter to a fifth of the points (20-25 points). Maybe even less. That way, it allows the match to move on, without requiring everybody to play defense.

    This is a game mode that is made significantly better by just having 2 teams, the 3 way component of BG's coupled with the general 'avoid PVP' player mentality ruins those games.

    Team A - Go to Team B and attack their flag in a 4v4
    Team B - Stay at base to defend said flag in a 4v4
    Team C - Turn up at B, see A&B fighting, go to A, pick up uncontested relic and cap - A&B both lose a point.

    It's a game mode that with 3 teams, only serves to promote the hide and seek style of play, the non stop sprinting and the avoidance of actual PVP combat.

    A game mode where you're punished for being engaged in any solid PVP (Becomes increasingly punishing as team's/MMR skill rises and fights between teams last longer)

    Agree here, this mode needs to be 2 teams of 6.

    Its not too bad, i kind of like it except if something hapens like last night. Opponent team had one really tanky player who captured our relic but never bought it back, he was just standing there and made sure we dont get anymore points bcause he was holding our relic. i could barely scratch that guy his health bar didnt even moved no matter what i did... sketchy tactics like this destroy the fun but it doesnt happen that often.

    I like strategic gameplay so CTR is my favourite mode. That's also why I always exclude Deathmatch from my queue.

    But I can strongly imagine CTR being 2 teams only.

    2 teams of 6 would be BAD. the point is it’s different from the death match mode. It’s a whole other thing. Variety. 2 teams of 6 is just death mode with a small twist.

    No offence, but you're the person I'm talking about.

    Can I ask you why you shouldn't be rewarded with a flag cap for killing the whole opponent team or enough of them, recovering your flag and capping theirs? This is how games with 2 teams work, obviously.

    Can I also ask why in a 3 team game, you should be rewarded for watching 2 teams fighting, simply going to whichever of their bases was empty and scoring a point, completely uncontested?

    I like this game mode. It supports team play. And the comments about 4x4 and then other team making cap. This game mode you should never go as a complete team of 4 to make a cap. 2 and 2 or 3 and 1 if one member is really tanky.

    It supports awarness of the battlefield and make smart decisions. Make kills that matter..... most people brainless keep going for kills as it was deathmatch yes than it sucks but that is due to the braincells of the players not the game mode.

    It’s better than Chaos Ball or Crazy King, but that doesn’t mean it’s fun. Just like Chaos Ball too much depends on having a tanky carrier and a Templar in your group.

    I hate it. Wrote a thread on it recently. It’s either over in less than two minutes (which is fine if you’re on the winning team, albeit boring), or it drags on right until the freaking end. Utterly pointless and I usually just drop group when I get it and log into another character to wait out the penalty.

    If you only like deathmatch and even abondon your team if you go random and not get server what you want, why not just que for deathmatch instead. ***.

    Also, the scoring is completely stupid. Exhibit A:

    I held sprint and petrified the people guarding relics a total of three times. I scored significantly higher than my teammates who defended our relic. How was that fair to them?

    I queue for randoms when I still need the daily on a character. Not going to waste my time on CTR when I have another character who still needs the daily. When I queue for BGs after dailies are done, I do my preferred modes (DM on my DPS, Land Grab on my Templar).

    When battlegrounds first came out I used to hate this match type SO MUCH. Then I took a giant break from attempting BG while they were CP-enabled. Then when Summerset dropped I started back up again, and now I love it! Dunno what changed, but I usually have a heck of a good time with it.
