@BalladalidilaI tend to be pretty generous with my term tactical sense. To the point even knowing what rotating is makes up the most of that evaluation. For instance I had a game with teammates that still pushed too hard that it got us killed (it was the match where teammates ate grenades and could not aim), but I still gave that match a favorable rating because they were willing to move out of a fight to ring when we were on the low ground.
Most of the teams I give a bad rating to make no effort to rotate and just throw themselves in a direction till they find combat. That or they hot drop and run around like chickens with their head cut off.
Then perhaps the term "seriousness" or "tryhardness" is more accurate for that type of behavior. Because the majority of players just dont take pubs that serious. Its basically a no-brain, insta/perma-w death match. Thats how I play that mode and this comes from a guy that literally tryharded his pants off to get to master. So even if I have the tactical skills to get to master even though I am more of a diamond player, I just have no incentives to play with a tactical mindset in pubs. After 1000+ wins, winning a match in pubs is literally meaningless. If Respawn want to change this, they have to make changes to the game mode itself because you cant force people to care about something.

One of the major reasons I refuse to play ranked is that I don't want in any way to bear any responsibility for putting a cramp in someone else's grind. But after reading "Its [pubs] basically a no-brain, insta/perma-w death match" and reading it from a diamond/masters level player... I will no longer ever have any compunction about going into any match, including ranked, and just screwing around and doing my own thing. If nobody takes my matches seriously then why should I take anyone else's seriously?- Balladalidila3 years agoSeasoned Ace
It isnt ideal by any means but that is the mindset I need to have both in pubs and solo Q ranked (because being matched with a premade duo in 9/10 matches who only care about each other) to have a good time playing this game. I would love if they re-designed the game, even pubs, to be more meaningful. I dont know exactly how but perhaps some reward for winning/top 3 or adding special "honor" rewards like skins and banners for acting "honorably" even in pubs.
