My teammates are so trash its not even funny

Why do i get the worst facking trash teammates?

They don't communicate, don't ping, can't share loot?

It is a team based game how am i supposed to play if my teammate doesn't even want to drop shield cells?

I just had a round with 0 shields... i was pinging i need shields and i also wrote in the chat but my teammate doesn't care he has 2 batts and 8 cells and a phoenix kit but why would he drop any if he sees my running around with no shield and pinging "i need shields" like a madman?

 After 3 years over 3k hrs can i at least have teammates that know how to facking teamplay?

Its not like i want them to have perfect aim or movement (idc if they are trash at that stuff) but teamplay in a team based shooter would be kinda nice sometimes... like wtf

If you can't play as a team you should simply solo queue.(or at least try to play as a team)

  • You're probably the "good" player. I have figured out that the game matchmakes by balancing MMR or something like that.

    Basically, if you're a good or decent player, you're going to be put with two scrubs that have terrible MMR to balance the team. Often, the game tries to find a duo squad instead of matching you with two individuals, although it will do that if it has to.

    Every five games or so it will purposefully match you with a player with higher level MMR, increasing your chances to win. 

    The game is programmed to invoke the gambling cycle of addiction, lose, lose, lose, win, lose, lose, lose, lose, win, lose, lose, etc. so that you keep coming back to play more, thinking you can do better next time. 

    It's actually pretty despicable if you think about it. 

    the game will give you bad teammates and put you in high MMR lobbies, all but ensuring that you can't win, so that you keep playing / stay engaged / buy skins for the game.|

    The alternative way to matchmake would be to team you up with people of your same MMR in lobbies of roughly your same MMR or slightly higher (to provide a challenge). Of course, you would get tired of the game this way once you stopped improving or winning and would leave. Alternatively, as you go higher, there aren't enough players with a positive K/D ratio, so that halfway decent players would have to wait in a pubs queue for a long time (a la predator ranked queue times) and would quit playing.

    The game is designed for fast matchmaking and to keep you coming back for more.

    You either have to play with people you know or friends, or become a predator and carry the two scrubs it assigns you.

    Incidentally, this is partially why cheating is so rampant in this game, because people get tired of going nowhere and having the game troll them endlessly that they decide "the only way I'm going to get any enjoyment out of this game is to cheat".
