EU+US Just a pug question

[Batts]

What should a frontline class do in an unfortunate pug comp with 4 rogues and no heals and no mid support?

I can do some limited offhealing/utility play on my BM/WW(dream), but I kind of just practice map jumps on my warrior because I have no idea how to better spend my time. I know games can still be won by playing smart, I know how to play D/B2B on my mage/lock/boomy etc but frontline classes without a mid feel like I should just AFK and hope a healer gets in.

I would peel to D. I believe a frontline class on D is greater than something like mage or warlock, for example.

Be like randy and shadow meld on the other teams roof until the oppertune movement arrives

If you're on D and both teams are turtling on their roofs then you should stand in the doorway to roof with a spam keg slows so the enemy team's stealth squad cannot get by to kill your FC.

If the other team doesn't have a stealth squad, you can still do that strategy, but depending on the numbers you might just have to work with your FC and hunter if you have one and try to kite them with barrels while your hunter calls out where to go. If there's no hunter, then just use your best judgement and communicate if you and your FC should kite or hold your ground.

Every situation is different and you learn through experience by looking at what you have on D on vs their O to decide what to do. As a rogue player, Bm monks are super annoying to play against when the other team is turtling. Playing a warrior in that situation is worse than a BM but it can still work especially if you're a furry warrior but most people go Arms. Oscorp and Esmorelda (SP?) play D on their warriors and do have an impact on games.

I do know how to gauntlet with a BM or warrior etc, I just don't know what I should be doing... up to that point.

When your team doesn't have a mid that can accomplish anything vs the other team, and your FC(if you even have one) is stuck on the wrong side of the base it feels like you're doing nothing but praying that a hunter or rogue will pull through and help get the FC across.

I know your team is by all reasonable means supposed to lose in that sort of situation, just being outcomped in a pug is super normal when for some reason 4-5 people decide to keep queuing rogues and no healers etc... I just want some idea of how I can best spend my time being useful to the team.

I watch trendy open up hearthstone and stand on GY in situations like this lol.

Before it gets to gauntlet, it all depends on your team to listen to calls. For example, if your team stays inside your base, it forces the enemy team to come in to your base together and then your team can run outside and drop down gy to cross mid together to meet your FC. Most of the time it doesn't work because some people don't listen and just run into mid and die like a chicken with its head cut off. If your team can make into mid and meet your FC then you can try to cross with him, but your best bet is usually just to stall in their base while stacks build up then try to kill the EFC when he comes in to cap.

TLDR: In those cases when your team is out comped, just do your best to play scrappy in those situations and work with your team. Most of the time my goal in those games is to try and not let them 3 cap.
