Why are ballgroups so strong? Why do people play in ballgroups? What do ballgroups have to do with marine biology? These questions and more will be answered in this video!

This was recorded on a rather rowdy national holiday, so apologies if any background noise made its way in.

Music lifted from Perfect Dark, Jazz Jackrabbit, Glover, Ion Fury and Supplice.

    Highly informative video, great work brother. Love from PCNA <3

    It only really sucks when each faction has two balls at a single keep and the server resets

    I'm a solo pvper, i am also a nightblade brawler. I would rather not use stealth but the current pvp climate forced me into a stealth loadout because it is literally the only solution to roving killsquads in imp city that spam echoing vigor and backbar restos on their solo loadouts. If you are spotted by one of these ballgroups it is a near instant death. No matter how good you are. The cross healing and slows are simply too much. Scribing has me even more worried. Now these groups will have skill based radial pulls that can also breach, stun, or heal teammates. Meaning they can retire dark convergence and slot even more potent bombing sets. And aren't restrained by the 21 second cooldown of DC either. Or tether heals that can be paired with the life bond. I'm afraid that ballgroups will be so powerful in gold road that keeps will be seiged by no less than 5 or 6 coordinated players stacking these skills. Spamming heals and bomb loadouts, pulling and wiping huge swaths of players with titanic cleave, vicious death and plaguebreak every time their CC immune wears off. The worst part is that only 1 player has to run this loadout for it to kill dozens of people at a time there is no counter except for a counter bomber which won't matter because the ballgroup is so small that bombs don't scale high enough to be lethal, it will literally be the only thing you see. Mark my words.
  • Most case, a normal person get tired of being zergged down by a bunch of ppl that can’t kill them other way, and create a group to shit on zergling’s head.

    That part of the Ichthyosaurus made me subscribe.
  • @pjoterem141
    nooooo we're not a ballgroup we're 8 man warden with a pull!!!!!
  • @user-yh8bm1ic4l
    playing alone in cyrodiil is boring anyway, i have seen people ping ponging between bleakers and aleswell endlessly and not to mention the fact it takes so much time to travel between keeps and when you die, it feels such a waste of time. you feel more motivated when you have a group of friends riding to a keep with you and you know the fight will last and you know that you dont have to retreat when numbers dont favor your side. i know tower runners exist or you can do small scale pvp at bruma or at that outcrop at nikel but i rather go to battlegrounds or IC.
  • Probably the best video I've seen talking about the motivations for having a ballgroup instead of "hurr durr ballgroup bad because"

    The funny part about ball groups. Is that everyone just throws themselves at the machine Gun fire of the ball groups, rather than actually using strategy to take them down. The fundamental concept of a ball group is coordination and teamwork. And when you can find a way to interfere with their coordination, they can't function as a team as effectively. And it makes it so much easier to focus single targets and kill them I always tell people spam knockbacks stuns and CCs on them. Especially on their attempted ult dumps. Messes their whole flow up and eventually they slip and you can kill them off
  • @outlaw4life546
    ballgroups are packa of players twho like to compensate their personal and skill issues by ult dumping 4 random with 12
  • ball groups should be banned in pvp it kills the pvp and the players alone are at a disadvantage Now we only see ball groups sometimes I see 5 or 6 at the same time thank you for your clip
  • @mipmip3855
    Wow - thanks for saying all this! 100% agree... nice editing also; btw I like the the convergent evolution comparison 😀
  • @daviddawn5613
    Ball group is just cringe at this point .imagine using more than 8 ulti for a single person because they get bomb just a few minutes ago😂. Have already tryed to play with ball and honestly it s boring . After it s my opinion. Sorry but running,echoing vigor +sime other hot , waitng for ulti or pull set like dc or rush or agony for killing some ppl or zerg , it s soo easy . Even blind(or half) ppl can do it.
