Yeah, I never think you should hard push unless you got some kind of advantage, either in terms of total HP of the team, or position wise, like high ground etc. Only exception is ofc if you have to push like when you fight for position during the last rounds. Too many players just hard pushes for no reason just because they wanna frag, like you said, straight into a 1v3 and dies straight away
In ranked, the main reason for this is ofc that too few people play at their peak rank, i,e they are smurfing. Might not be their fault because of Respawns fondess for resets hehe. If every player played and their peak rank, trying hard to climb, they wouldnt do this. Only when you know that you generally are better than your opponents and/or doesnt care and just plays for fun, you push like an idiot = smurfs
