We had a group of 20 or so players that would run together all day every day swapping out tired players, never lose, and pick a player to let take 1st each week who we'd carry the entire time. Otherwise it was virtually impossible to win, if matches lasted too long because someone was slacking, they were booted from the circle, I think we had matches down to like 45 seconds each, was ridiculously efficient. premade groups such as ours were extremely rare so we'd faceroll everyone, they wouldn't even make it out of the starting area haha. Sometimes we'd run into other top server premades and the matches were sometimes a half hour+. Their was private voice chat so the conversations got hilarious, or people would pop in from other teams to talk smack.
I know a lot of people are shocked by my play style but it's the world I come from, not too many hardcore grinders here, so i probably seem crazy to some. well that's my nostalgia for the day :)
