Untrue. I've done it. I've seen other players do it. In some cases a couple of chump players is not that much harder then fighting one half-decent player. No offense.
Ummm, right. I'll concede that it is not impossible that any number of incompetents can be held off in ideal chokepoint situations in the early game and the ganged-up on player can go on to win.

That doesn't refute the fact that the easiest and cheapest and MOST successful tactic is to simply double or triple-team opponents. I don't care how good you are: as long as your opponents are even half-competent, you will lose or be so crippled by the win that by the middle game you have effectively lost.

Exceptions don't disprove the rule.
