OP Strat: The Comcast Gambit
Fell victim to this strategy 4 times last night. This strat is designed to make a team throw a won game. Best part is, anyone can do it!
How does it work?
It's simple, stall out the game as long as possible.
"But, we're down 10k gold and losing! We'll never win! We should just surrender and move on to the next game!"
Doesn't matter, with the Comcast Gambit, that makes the strat even more powerful since the enemy team will think they're in complete control of the game (because, well, they are!).
Stall out the game, and wait for one of the enemy players to disconnect due to poor internet service providership. The longer you wait, the more likely this is to work! Plus, even if they don't dc (or your team gets a dc), you were about to surrender anyway, so no big deal!
~40% of my last 40 ranked games have been decided by the Comcast Gambit. Makes zero sense to surrender when players are disconnecting left and right. If you're ahead, you need to group quickly and end the game (no 1000 stacks
) before you become the next victim of the gambit!
Anyway, just wanted to share since there is literally no counterplay to this. Truly, truly OP!
