The map is way too small. If you start a fight, every team across the map converges on your position. You don't even get chance to heal, its just one team after another, after another. If you use a...

"But here is the kicker. I won't know if the jump master is someone that is really good and will break 2k before the end of the match or someone who just wants to end his squad early as they drop us in hot."
I know. They are almost always the hack on a suicide mission. I have to assume that in every match. In the rare instances where it's a "superior" player, they're still playing their own personal meta without regard for the skills or strategies of their squadmates. The only thing more dangerous to me than an inexperienced squadmate is an experienced squadmate. Wow, that's pretty nihilist even for me!
"this is true if damage and kill counts are not what you want, but rather to be one of the last 2 or 3 squads standing."
Most of the people in this game don't even believe that winning is an option so they play strictly for damage and kills. The irony. They don't even realize that the harder they push those stats the farther away they push the win. Unless you're Timmy or Aceu, and then you can pretty much do whatever it is you want.
I will never understand the "damage and kills" mindset. I understand it exists and I understand how it works and the behaviors it produces. But to me that's like entering a marathon in order to see how fast you can run the first hundred yards. Utterly and completely pointless, imo. Don't people ever get tired of losing?

@reconzero I see your point. I have to admit, my focus is on damage and kills, more on damage these days. Why? Because it is a stat that I see in those that play well. It is the best indicator of your abilities. And I have only broke 1k once. I want to do that often, then I will think about the long game.
- @MrGreenWithAGun This is a good strategy. Damage numbers show in an indirect way the contribution you made to the squad. People who can post high damage can always tone it back - like a switch, where passive players can't, because overall they aren't good fighters and never learnt how. You are on the right track. Do not let win stats blind you in the short term. Do what you do and the wins will pile up sooner than you think, and team invites would also become a thing and then you would also be ready to hold your own in all situations.
