Yep, its part of why I've stopped playing for a while, I refuse to sink to that scummy level but last time I played my options tended to be
A. Fight a OP team of ppu buffed infected in pp1 by myself
B. Watch as a ppu buffed team of VIRUS fight solo people.
Neither is much fun. Sad thing is I was just about getting my aim back and this 2 month break will probably have screwed it again =(
