Re: These can't be real people??

@1ronKeysWell cross platform is only a few months away. Perhaps then we can play and you can carry me! haha

I get the frustrations you have. I just think it's important to try and have fun with the game no matter happens. We all have streaks of bad teammates. We all have bad rounds. Just laugh at it and move onto the next round! You'll definitely have some good ones. I poke fun of myself when I have bad rounds and trust me I've had some really really bad ones. 

I don't care much how good or bad my teammate is. So long as they are try and are not toxic I'll play with them. The only people who bug me are the ones who don't play as a team. But the nice part about this game? You don't have to play with them again and again. Plus sometimes your downed teammates come in clutch with the call out. I had been a potato one round and my teammate made it top 2. He was about to rush the final squad but did not notice his armor was broken. I came in clutch with the pop a batt call out. I mean it's all I did, but hey at least I did something.

    @DarthValtrex Unfortunately it's like 19 out of 20 games for me.

    End up staying on well lonfer than i should or i intend to just to try have one good game and Still dont.

    Probably ea's "dda" to encourage engagement. Well soon my engagement will do what it did with fifa, from constant to absolute nothing and never heading back.

    @DarthValtrex I wish I could be that uncritical with enjoyment. I can't enjoy anything unless I'm performing well, and I can't perform well in this game due to various factors. Even then I perform well and it's still not fun cause usually I'm carrying by a large margin and being shunted into 1v3s isn't fun either.

    The rare occasions I do actually have teammates that are similarly skilled as me are extremely few and far between. I've had 3 matches in 40 hours where everyone has performed just as good as I did, (with a 200+/- damage range exception), and 1 match where I was legitimately carried. 40 hours. I went from 5.6k total matches, to 5.89k total matches, and THREE, THREE OF THEM were legitimately enjoyable. Like how pathetic is that?

    I uninstalled just now, when cross-play hits Steam I'm postin' my review, and from now on I'll just play Titanfall 2 PVE. It's boring, but at least it's consistently boring.

    @pastaclown if the majority of what you see is negative it’s your perspective. Well it took years of practice and I still have my moments. But I used to always have a “things can get better” mentality no matter how good something was. I got tired of always having not necessarily a negative view on things, but just never being satisfied or happy with anything.

    So I started small looking for the good in all situations. I lost my career recently and all my dreams/goals went out the window, so did 21 years of work building that career. It would be easy to be negative about it. But I have tried to focus in the fact that it’s a new beginning and perhaps things will be better once I find a new career.. yeah it’s difficult to do in some situations in life. But you can always find something positive.. even if that positive is the future and coming out of your current situation stronger then you are today.

    So in your case if 80-98% of your teammates are not as good as you.. instead of focus on that sliver of negative, perhaps focus on the fact that you’re better than 98% of those who play this?! Then think about how you can make the situation your in work for you and be fun? I have fun carrying people, i typically get really good content/clips.

    @DarthValtrex I don't find it's possible so much to carry people anymore.

    Use to absolutely carry people.

    Now, unless they're even semi average you cannot do a thing. They'll find a way somehow at somepoint to make sure it won't happen.

    @DarthValtrex well that's where you and I differ. I can't "be positive" when I've sat here putting up with the same unfixed, unaddressed crap since day 1. I can't stay positive when my enjoyment of the game is constantly ruined by avoidable nonsense. I worked my rear end off to have better aim, better movement, faster looting, faster decisions and reactions, you name it, only to get saddled with useless worm riddled slugs with skills the equivalent of 7 rats jumping on a keyboard. 

    It's not like I'm a negative Nancy who only sees the negative. But in my case, there's so much negative it wholly outweighs any real positive that I could come up with.

    @pastaclownPoint I was trying to make is make the best of what is, instead of focus on what could be.

    I have thousands of hours logged and ai’m better then your average player. But I’m not predator material. I still have fun.

    @1ronKeys  Sure you can.. I guess we can't upload screen shots anymore. Bummer.
