So im having a problem, an argument rather.

 

So here's the situation,

 

2 minutes into the game, we have no control over the obby, our avatar is at 55% health and it is CLEAR that we will not get the obby back because of the momentum that the other team has over us, we have over half the team defending the avatar and half the team trying to take the obby back.

When the OTHER team has 3/4 their team at the obby and <1/8 collecting and rushing the ava.

 

So would it be smarter to either:

 

A:Let our avatar die and stop defending and have MOST of the team going to the avatar and risking another dump after the avatar re-spawns and having little to no defense, so that we can take over the obby and try to kill the enemy's avatar. But at that point, our avatar would already be dead, so we would have to go for 2 kills.

 

-or-

 

B:Forget the obby, keep defending the avatar and hope for a tie game while trying to maintain our own west/east graveyard.

 

Please let me know ):

(p.s. igc means: In game caller)

If it is CLEAR that a retake won't be successful (as you say), then you need to defend your avatar. Don't let him get hit because realistically, no matter the situation at grave you're gonna get dumped on eventually due to the other team holding obby. Holding grave is not a huge deal if obby is locked down; a dump is not even really necessary when a team has that much manpower at obelisk.

 

More or less they've forced you into the defensive, so you need to prevent ava rushes. That said, you should try to maintain some control next time ;) As you probably know, holding obby is probably the biggest advantage you can get (and due to how easily you can mass freeze people rushing bridge, it becomes very difficult to retake).

Use barriers at the entrance to the avatar to slow down the opposing team. If you are barraging, its better to freeze them before they even reach the barriers. If some do escape, the team should pile them while continuously replacing destroyed barriers. The team should also be burying bones of those who died close to the avatar or grave. Of course all this is easier said than done, there will be idiots who will place barriers in random locations which will make you hit the 10 barrier limit fast. If a team does hold the obby and you cannot take it back, the game is pretty much theirs.
