A few things (Destiny)

Now control.... If it wasn't control I bet we probably would have done better. A lot of the time, I feel like we were either given disadvantageous spawns on maps that were not built with 6v6 in mind, or the other team were in positions to hold the points better than we could attack them from.

Now, now. That's no excuse. Not since our very own iconicbanana posted the amazing Dr. Banana's Guide to Control Spawn Control 101 on this very forum. His whole MD* was dedicated to us, his minio... err... internet friends!

But on a serious note, give it a read. Spawn control is pretty much my main concern when playing with full random teams and it has kept my W/L ratio pretty high. I admit it might not be just because of that, but it's a hell of a coincidence that my game turned as soon as I payed attention to this aspect.

*MD void where applicable**.
**Applicable everywhere
