Love the number of deaths there. A whopping 222.If anyone can get 1500 in a public game, then it shouldn't be hard for you to do it.
But since you asked so nicely,
In a PUG as chaser.

If you look at the players, you should notice we only had one player on offense, Unknown.

Ah, I was just wondering that are people nowdays THAT much more D players that it's rare to find enough O players who knows what to do. Doesn't really surprise if you think about it, D playing grants more personal score than playing O. I guess due the changes to netcode + other stuff the balance between D and O has flipped over considering that D used to be harder in previous builds.
Not surprising really. The current point system awards what defense does far more than what offense does.

I'm not sure if points has anything to do with why more people play defense than offense.

Go offense with 2~4 people, get killed by 5SaH's, respawn, go back to their base. Seems tiresome for some people.

A little bit exaggerated.
Preference... I liked offense more back when I played it. Its still more fun, but yeah...
Whether people know it or not, points are a reinforcement system. They are supposed to reward the right actions while penalize or not reward the wrong ones. So when new players realize that they get awarded the most points (a supposed reflection of their effectiveness) doing certain actions, they will do them more. Currently, those actions are more defense based. Whether this is due to it being hard to quantify offensive actions or it being just a bad point system, I do not know.
Generally in any game, offense is harder than defense. This I would attribute to offense being proactive while defense being reactive. It is easier to react to a situation than to create a situation that in the end brings a favorable outcome. The latter requires skill as well as forethought taking into account many factors (some of which result in death). When looked at from this perspective, most games look like spam fests where spam overcomes coordination and forethought. Legions is unique in this regard since it is centered around a flag instead of player death. This promotes coordination, planning, and sacrifice; but I digress. It is just something to think about when playing this game.
Didn't mean for that to be a lesson or anything; just thinking things out loud.

i prefer offense in organized games, but in pubs offence is just frustrating and a waste of time most of the time (with llamas, no home d, etc)
