3rd partied at least 80% of the time
I can confidently at least 80% of my deaths are to 3rd partying. There needs to be something done about 3rd partying. Reduce the range on gunshot sounds, something, this is ridiculous.

Positioning and game sense are a big factor in getting 3rd partied. If you know there are, say, 10 squads left it's not wise to take on a team fight in the middle of the open. It's just inviting other teams to come clean up the post-fight mess. BR games are notorious for this and it's just a part of the game. Either rethink the way you engage a fight or avoid them more often. It's the only solution. It happens to everyone.

This right here is bang on the money. Gunfire is like blood in the ocean to a shark. Everybody will come for a piece.
I know you can watch Shroud (amongst others) take on multiple squads, but for myself, I certainly cannot even get close to what he achieves.
I pick my battles and very rarely start an engagement unless I'm happy with positioning, and the number of squads left in the game, or bypass the fight altogether. Survival is paramount.
Agree what was being said above. Map is so small for the absurd movements you have access too, that I constantly have to say to my teammates "yeah there's a team right there. no, don't engage... just wait... "
If you want to win fights, then fight. If you want to win games, then run away and hide.
It's pretty simple.

I've seen a lot of people talking about how their squad was wiped by a third party and how they don't like it, I assume that if you are against third partying then if the opportunity to wipe out a squad as the third party presented itself you would refuse to do so?
It's an interesting game mechanic and something I really like as it means that you are never really safe. You may be able to get the drop on a team but you then have to be constantly aware of your surroundings as you are never truly safe.
What do others think, does the chance of a third team sweeping in dictate how you play?
