If you're queuing up in 2's, stop treating the 3rd person like an afterthought.

I main lifeline and I usually play the healer in most games so I already know what the common treatments of the healers are.  But this extends beyond that role.  In some of the matches I've played,  its clear that the two other people are pre-queue'd since they're walking together and theres no conversation in chat or voice comms.  Not bothered by that.  What bothers me is that there are no pings or communication about essential items like body armor and helmets especially when mine are either non-existent or the weakest versions while the other two have purple/blue gear.  I drop my ult, all of a sudden they appear in front of me, take whatever in the drop and I get nothing.  Then, a fight breaks out, the other two are immediately shot down, and all of  a sudden, one of the players speaks in comms to say "wtf are you doing, lifeline, you idiot".  I kid you not.  This same scenario happens more often than not and its not fun to deal with.   I'm very much a team player but when I get treated less than a teammate,  I suddenly don't feel like playing with that squad anymore.

  • I had this same issue until I started leaving games where I knew my 'teammates' would be dead weight. Didn't ping their jump location? Leave, doesn't ping important gear in the early stages of the game? Leave, takes off in random directions without telling you? Leave. To some that might sound bad but trust me, it's a thousand times better than watching your team run into fights while you're there with 10hp and no med packs in sight and you later find them casually healing up minor scratches even though you're a slap away from death, it happens a lot with randoms unfortunately
  • Amazing how many problems solo and duo Q's would solve...respawn seem to not care though
