I think there is a general misconception of how everyone should play casual games.

You can not say that "all good players do x" or "all good players do y", because in reality, if you are truly a good player, you change your strategy based on what your teammates are doing, what the map is, and what the enemy is doing. [b]A good player does what is best for the team.[/b] Yes, the most common one is holding up the front lines, but that's not always true. I've seen blue star players successfully build superweapons and win the game because of it, I've seen blue star players successfully use trollcomms. So when people say "all good players hold back the front lines" (which a lot of people say), I think they are completely wrong.

And besides, a good team isn't made up of people all doing the exact same thing. A team where everyone is doing frontlines isn't a good team. Sure, a lot of, if not most of, the people should be helping with frontlines in some way, if not full out defending or pushing, but a good team is made up of people who work together, and as long as they are working together, they will do well. However, a team that is working together and every single player is fully invested in frontline may very likely lose to another team that is all working together and has some people going air, some people doing eco, and some people rushing super.

I
think
that,
outside
of
intentionally
trolling,
people
should
be
able
to
play
however
they
want
in
casual
games.
For
instance,
let's
take
the
most
common
example
of
building
boats
on
a
land
map.
Now,
I've
heard
again
and
again
people
say
things
like
"Don't
build
ships
on
a
land
map,
it's
trolling!",
or
similar
things
to
that.
But,
tell
me,
what
is
really
wrong
with
building
ships
on
a
land
map?
Think
about
it.
In
strategic
terms,
building
ships
on
a
land
map
is
a
genius
idea.
Of
course
it
takes
some
good
skill
in
that
area
to
make
it
worth
it,
but
if
it
doesn't
do
anything
else,
it
adds
to
the
fun
of
casual
games.
Maybe,
instead
of
yelling
at
everyone
for
building
ships
on
a
land
map
and
telling
them
they're
a
terrible
player,
instead,
we
should
be
giving
them
advice,
such
as
"You
should
use
lobster
on
your
shogun
instead
of
digging
all
these
super
expensive
trenches,
it
works
better.
"
I
certainly
don't
think
we
should
be
telling
everyone
that
it's
a
strategy
that
is
basically
trolling,
don't
do
it,
and
it
doesn't
work,
or
"only
do
x
and
y
because
that's
what
works"
because,
the
whole
beauty
of
this
game
is
being
able
to
come
up
with
your
own
crazy
strategies
that
you
can
use
to
defeat
the
enemy.
If
we
keep
putting
people
in
a
box
and
telling
them
that
"x
and
y
are
the
only
good
strategies",
then
they'll
never
come
up
with
new,
exciting,
and
effective
strategies.
