Wardogs Players Are Avoiding One of the Game's Factions Because It Has a Stigma of Attracting the Stupidest Players
Wardogs players are avoiding the game's Lonestar faction, as they seemingly attract the worst players and lose the most games.
The popular game Wardogs is experiencing a noticeable trend where players are steering clear of the Lonestar faction. This team, one of three options in the game, has garnered a reputation for attracting less skilled or inexperienced players, leading to a higher failure rate and more frequent match cancellations. The three playable teams in Wardogs are Lonestar (blue), Valkyra (red), and Manticore (green), with no significant gameplay advantages associated with any specific team.
However, the Lonestar faction seems to struggle the most, with players theorizing that new or less experienced gamers gravitate towards it due to its availability as the first option. This stigma has resulted in Lonestar teams often facing delayed starts or failing to find enough players to start a match, thus limiting the options for less experienced gamers.
Despite these challenges, the game has seen significant success, selling over a million copies before its release and maintaining a high player count on Steam. With positive word of mouth continuing to attract new players, especially with a discount available on platforms like Fanatical, the popularity of Wardogs is expected to persist.
For console players eager to join in, they will have to wait until Wardogs launches on Xbox and PS5 in 2028.
