Re: Why am I being punish for having bad teammates ?

@1unown1 

We can have a normal discussion, no?

I don't see the the problem if there's a solution already presented.

Sure it might be some extra work... but in the end if you care about having proper matches, some work has to be done.

Players are human, not perfect nor will they act like you want them to.

Though you have the option to at least limit certain factors, I think it's good to make use of that.

    Legends, everyone has their own playstyle, and some players just don't play enough to be good at the game. Its true that finding people to squad up with is useful, as well as communication being key, however oftentimes its not that easy and players usually are going to do what they want to anyways.

    For right now, we just have to deal with it until we get a better matchmaking system. The current problem is that players aren't being put into their proper lobbies just yet and that mix of playstyles. Hopefully the upcoming changes would provide players with teammates and enemies of similar skills.

    Trust me. Best way to play this game is to observe how team mates play.

    If don't play as a team in terms of positioning, looting, common sense. The best thing is to re-match make lobby. Just quit, to continue in same lobby when you know what will happen is futile.

    "If don't play as a team in terms of positioning, looting, common sense. The best thing is to re-match make lobby. Just quit..."

    I agree 100% in theory. In practice this means that if you have a non-standard playstyle, or refuse to accept the meta-of-the-moment, then you will end up quitting every single match you get put into. Every. Single. One.

    The first two things I do in any match is look at squadmates' banners and then see where the jumpmaster wants to drop. I would say that in about 19 out of 20 matches I get squaddies who couldn't think their way out of a wet paper bag. It would only occur to them to try to shoot their way out. Which, as we know, is a recipe for sub-one k/d and 1.4% win rate. If I quit all these matches at the drop then suddenly I'm playing Apex Legends Lobby Simulator.

    This game needs to drop all pretense at matching based on skill, and start matching based on playstyle. I'll keep saying it until I'm blue in the face.

    @reconzero I agree upon matching players by their playstyle also apex already do that as they manipulate win rate this way.

  • What solution are you claiming is there, I have teammates that sit in a corner do nothing for the whole match or the start a fight run away and die to zone coming in since they run into it or better yet the teammates that run up to an enemy and just start dropping everything they have infront of them, tell me the solution oh wait I know what you'll say, "Just stop playing if it's unplayable, or get good."
