Am I a bad teammate because I didn't land at the same location

So was in a rank silver match and got teamed up with a wraith and bloodhound. When we were in the drop ship they wanted to drop at the bunker(which was also a hotspot) and I wanted to go somewhere el...

@ken6ji What qualifies you as a bad teammate depends on perspectives.

You didn't land with your teammates, and they got wiped out. To them, you're a bad teammate, to us, you did the right thing by not dying with the team, especially since you were Lifeline and can safely recover their banners at a replicator later.

If it was ranked, they should be happy they didn't die top 20. I wouldn't take their opinions to heart, considering they knew what they were dropping into when they saw all the enemy dive trails and heard the "an enemy landed near us" voice lines.

Not landing with the team is something I do a lot, and I'm more likely to do it when I think I might die on drop. I don't prefer to land next to other teams and then hope the loot is better where I'm at.

Also not to mention that you should give some space between each other when landing anyways, as one area isn't going to have 6 good guns, a bunch of ammo, armor, and heals. They landed with other teams, and there's only like 4 bins and the bunker. Between even 2 teams, there's not enough loot for everyone.

    Since they almost always place solo Qs with  premade duos in ranked, I think solo Qs have the same right as making their own decisions about the game as the premade duos. What I try to do as a solo Q is to clearly communicate my intents, either my spamming "no" and "go here" OR to simply say what you think it the chat. I actually have two macros on F9 and F10. One makes me say "I am not a big fan of running after a premade duo in their loot trail the entire game" and the other one makes me say "This doesnt work. I go solo now. Plz mind your own business and I do the same. GL and HF".

    I am not the perfect teammate but neither are the majority of premade duos I choose to play with when I choose to Solo Q. Bottom line is that its EVERYONEs responsibility to mind what their teammates are doing, i.e their position or their current health bars etc and this goes for both solo Qs and premade duos. Its just not an acceptable excuse to run ahead, far away from your teammate, die 2v3 or 1v3 and then start blaming and flaming. Its makes me smile everytime when a premade duo just ignores you the entire games and just runs ahead, dies and then start flaming you for not being there. Well dont go there and dont take that fight if you see your solo Q teammate didnt follow hahah. Same if you choose to push an enemy squad after downing an enemy for instance. Its on YOU to check your teammates health bars before you choose to go in. It takes 0.1 sec. Dont blame if you run in and dies 1v2 if both your teammates literally had 1 hp.

      @NerfMyAimPlzI think the experience for solo Qs with duos is the worst you can get. I too get paired with them like 90% of the time in ranked and im always waiting for them to make the worst decision ever that gets them kill or gets me kill or get all of us kill.

      i just always mute them just in case and try to not follow them into disadvantages situations since the verbal toxicity that may come from these people that are not even that good is unbearable
