Amygdala

My interpretation of what Silas is saying is that many melee players assume there is one way to play their character. This results in their solo play being identical to their team play. A good melee player is going to take their team into consideration. If the team needs a leader because no one is jumping forward, then yes, as a melee character you are well suited to do that. In contrast, if the team has two 'leaders' because both melee are always charging without looking, that can be counterproductive. If you're in a situation where everyone is in one location and dying while you are in another, perhaps it's time to reconsider how you're playing.

The bottom line is be aware of your team. Teams are not going to be identical so your play style is likely not going to be either so long as you are making an effort to observe and adapt to what is going on with your team.

Welcome to Champion!

There are many players on Champion that enjoy speed runs/TF challenges and they are not all from the same group. This particular 9 man CoP was completed by players from different groups. There are many other players out there that could have easily been included as well.

So in that sense, there's nothing really to 'join'. It's more the fact that many of us have been playing on Champion for years and are aware of folks who are generally interested in these types of challenges.

More or less the exact same strategy as a large scale CoP, but done with less people.
