Is it me, or do we have a lot more games end on the Almayer lately?

[ThePiachu]

It may just be me but I feel like a lot of our games recently have ended on the Almayer more often than not. Is it because xenos are winning more, or Marines decide to let the round end on the Almayer since it's a fixed timer rather than drawing it out? How are our win rates looking recently?

Small Brained: Slowly hunt down all the benos on planet

Big Brained: 50 man retreat and force the benos to come to you

[kastion]

I think its just you, the onyl way for xenos to win is to board the almayer.

[CABAL]

Maybe becouse LZ2 FoB became a thing.

[Simo94]

imo marines retreat way too early

[misto]

retreating earlier than they used to makes a lot of sense both ic and ooc, so i doubt youre going to convince them to break the habit.

[Madventurer]

Yeah, from IC perspective, a good CO/aCO wants to minimize casualties and maximize results, so retreat when things are going south with no progress only makes sense.

[Jarek]

It's not just you. More often than not nowadays it's either a marine steamroll, or marines get steamrolled and then go up, and hold out surprisingly well with the small numbers they have, or surprisingly bad with the massive amount of numbers they have. Either way is just as likely to end in the "SD" ending nowadays.

[carlarc]

or marines lose hydro but since alpha is retarded there are literally no cades so they evac with 70 marines and force a marine win

[Gnorse]

early marine retreats, if not caused by the CO, are generally caused by xenos pushing too hard, giving marines the impression that there's 30 xenos when really there's 10.
