@Anlbrd Thanks for the genuine feedback and comments. Especially points 1 and 2.
When in a party we only allow communication within the party because I don't want someone raging whilst my daughter is listening. So we have to make sure to ping lots at the beginning to send out the "we're team players" impression.
Also, I do what you call "panic" loot at the beginning out of habit now. Mostly from playing with randoms who do the same and feel like if I dont theres a good chance I won't be ready for that first engagement. Seems like the better players do the same and then take off running. I've found the best strategy for me is to "panic" loot then drop extras after the inital battles. Never considered that sent the message of not being a team player to some, good to know.
That all said, I feel like we are good team players, probably above average from what I've experienced. We rarely leave a game, leave a player down, or not go for a teammates banner. We even stay in games when our party connection gets dropped from the lobby to the legend selection screen so as not to leave that squad at a disadvantage.
So I dont think people leaving our squad prematurely is from our lack of teamwork, it seems to be our lack of skill compared to the better players who leave wanting a better chance for a competitive match. Most people want a competitive match whatever the skill level, don't you think? Or do you like the mismatching if the skill and the challenge of carrying novice players?
Personally, I prefer mostly competitive games with a few really tough and easy matches sprinkled in. I realize this is a BR so wins are not the norm, I just want to be able to win a couple few battles before going down in a blaze of glory. Recent experience has been almost all really tough and brutal matches
i gotta be honest, i sued to do panic loot. I took 3 days to completely stick a finguer to whoever wanted it, and took my time taking a look at my loot, now i dont panic loot, what you saying the better players panic loot, they dont. they already know what they need or not depending on their loadout, so they just go and grab ONLY WHAT THEY NEED, making it look super fast, cuz they already got the info and knowledge. Also IF TYHEY ACCIDENTLY GRAB STUFF, YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT YOU CAN KEEP RUNNING, WHILE PRESSING TAB AND DROPPING STUFF,. That way you can get rid of the stuff u dont want and keep mving. You gotta be fast tho, other wise once you know, your team is in skull town and your finally decided what you dont need and you already arriving in the slums
@Anlbrd and @A7RDF ...maybe the good players are getting just what they need, REALLY FAST. Generally I try to loot in a different area than my squad mates while staying in the same proximity as my squad, when the situation allows, to avoid the intra-squad race for loot. I'll try to unlearn the "panic" method and get better at looting more judiciously 🙂
