We can all agree that randoms can be * sometimes BUT as someone who sometimes does everything the OP mentioned ON PURPOSE, I want anyone who reads this to stop and think back to these matches and see if you made any of these very aggravating mistakes yourselves.

Being the jumpnaster and not communicating with your team as to where you're landing.

Landing in the * end of nowhere like the shattered forest where the only available loot are lv1 helmets and p2020s.

Violently spamming characters in the select screen knowing damn well it hurts people's eyes.

Spamming pings or firing your weapons for no reason, specially on enemies that don't exist.

Stealing loot like medkits and ammo that were dropped for other teammates who clearly needed it a whole lot more than you did.

Spam pinging your banner after you went into a 1v3 and died instead of allowing your team to catch up.

It's easy to blame everyone else but stop and think for a second if you are a good teammate yourself. I've been gaming for a while now and consider myself a good, respectable teammate so I expect nothing different from anyone I play with, but if I get stuck with a 12 yo who does what I mentioned above you can damn well be sure I'm gonna abandon your * and do my own thing even if it gets me killed

I can safely say that I have never done any of those things.

first thing I do when entering a match whether i’m Jumpmaster or otherwise is ping where I want to drop. Once.

i only drop Relay, Runoff, Swamps, Sewage (can’t remember it’s proper name...) or Airbase (if I know it’ll be quiet-ish). I can count the amount of times I’ve misjudged the distance and landed in no-man’s land on both hands with fingers to spare.

i pre-queue the Legend I want and know which are the next two standbys that I need 1st kill/BP Bonus for and move immediately to the appropriate one and select them (I refuse to add wait time by letting the bar tick down, that’s just rude).

i only spam pings if downed to wall hack an enemy who is out of line of sight for my team mate so they know exactly where to pre-fire. If I’ve ever fired upon something other than an enemy it was genuinely a complete fat fingered accident and I apologised immediately.

i have never picked anything up that a team mate had dropped unless I had requested it and any gear a team mate pings is theirs, no matter how far away they are to it compared to me.

i have literally never pinged my own banner. EVER.

I tend to agree...

cut for space

What is the purpose of... 

• ...jumping into skull town/artillery/market/bunker...when one of your mates (or even both) suggests to jump swamps/slums/runoff and more or less tell you - hey...I' don't feel comfortable going without proper loot into such a zone...
• ...leaving a game right after your team mates successfully got your bloody banner back, no enemies can be seen & the respawn itself just one zipline away...
• ...jumping apart of your team mates to get killed instantly...(and even worser)...trying to get the guy back without proper shield or weapon...to end up dying too for no reason...

You forgot 

• ... jumping apart from your team, who are at least 800m+ away, getting immediately killed and spamming the PICK ME UP MY BANNER IS HERE button over and over until time runs out (that's a lot of pinging, headache inducing), then proceed to curse your soul with the very poisons of hell, not because there is no way to realistically make it that far and live that early on, but because you didn't even try...

Don't blame you OP. I quit 2 weeks ago then came back and guess what annoys me instantly, it's not the lag issues, it's not the cheaters it's the players I'm forced to group with to play the game.

Read these forums or Reddit and people have the exact same complaint in some form or another.. in fact just yesterday there was about 10 posts on reddit asking for a matchmaking/ranked, anything other than being forced to play with dumb random players.

This whole "you were new to the game once too" bullcrap isn't going to fly. I was new to the game when it first came out, it's 2 months old now I'm significantly better than these new players. It's like if we were playing Overwatch and I'm the highest rank grandmaster being forced to group with people in bronze occasionally because it's "fun"

So much fun losing so much fun having useless teammates who don't know how to play the game. Squads and NO MATCHMAKING of any kind is really bad for this game and I actually think it causes toxic behavior in this game.

There's not a whole lot they can do about you having to team with randoms until they implement solos. You could just make more friends too, I've made several and it's a lot more fun.

solos,  or a ranked elo based on avg  placement or wins.  something...

@ARMED_N_HAMERED 

Solo mod. It's not nuclear science.

I have had some shockers lately.

Teammates who quit instantly once downed even when they could have been easily revived. Teammates who purposefully leave you to timeout and one set of two who left me to die, picked up my banner and then told me I could 'quit now' and even went so far as to taunt a revive. Fortunately karma had my back and they soon died whilst I watched and laughed. Oh and one who was seconds away from drop shipped back in and then they quit.

As time ticks by it is also increasingly difficult to keep a team together before you even hit the ground.

Before...I'd look at a post like this and be like "stfu...jesus..." but after hours upon hours of playing with Rando's when my friends aren't on I just...can't help but relate. I am quite sick and tired of being paired up with people who either a) Think they are like shroud and dizzy, rush in, get killed and quit instantly when they realise they are in fact not like those two or b) Have absoloutely no common sense whatsoever.

I'm not the best player, I'm average at best but I know when to engage and when not to, I know not to pick up everything I see regardless of whether I need it or not, I know not to run in to 3 squads fighting it out like I'm Rambo and nothing can touch me, I know when to carefully use my abilities. It's not rocket science, It's not skill, It's just common damn sense and I seem to get matched up with people that have none of that and it's getting tedious.

I don't care if people aren't the greatest players, I don't care if people get downed in a fight and I have to get them up, I don't care if I have to recover a banner and respawn somebody, it's fine. It's part of the game I can deal with it but the absoloute stupidity I am running in to lately is just mind numbing and really does ruin the experience for me.
