This is want you sign up to when playing with randoms. If you're telling the truth and actually got so unlucky that your two randoms screwed you over during the jump, marking a place and going somewhere else far away (even though I think you are polishing the story a bit to your advantage), then I understand the frustration. But you knew the deal when you choose to jump in a ranked game with randoms; you will get punished for leaving prematurely, period. And in most cases, people WONT act like this in ranked so thats why you should "suck it up", wait for the timer and move on.
What Im trying to say is that playing with randoms IS a lottery by its definition. You CHOOSE to play with random players that have random playing styles, random tryhard-ness, random communication skills etc. Dont expect them to be the perfect match for you, and thats why we play with premades you know.
As the random in 99% of the games I play, I have to say I make it a point to stick with the other squads. If they ping someplace and for whatever reason change location without me noticing, I will trek to where they are immediately, even if it means not looting much to get there. Running solo is death in this game if you bump into another squad. Awareness of your squad is survival. Even if they are not that good it is better to have that support than nothing at all.
Also in ranked, I always will wait around. I have had some games where I didn't think my squad was going to get me and they were able to get in and grab my banner in the nick of time and spawn me back into the game. If you were late game and the circle would melt them if they attempted to get you because you were too deep into it because you didn't keep close to them. As the random that is on you. Just wait the 90 seconds or whatever, take it as a learning experience and move on. Or take the penalty. Whatever
Seems like if you can't quite adjust your play style to fit this mode you need to drop with friends in a pre-made squad or stick with regular. The agitating thing about these posts is that it is always everyone else's fault and the penalty is not just. The penalty is working as intended.
