Am I crazy for muting my squads each match?
Outside of playing with friends, I’ve grown accustomed to muting my premade squads, especially for ranked. It: Helps me better listen for footsteps from other teams I don’t need to listen to...
Forum Discussion
I only mute if I can hear a teammates music, eating, or bad mic quality. Also can't stand people who pretend they're streaming and talk like they're in a chat session. Otherwise I enjoy chartiing to random people and also enjoy some witty banter. It makes the game fun
Randoms: options set for incoming chat (voice/text) to friends only. Mute pings and separate jump at the begging of each match. Don't care at all about ransoms.
@AreYouShivering Wait. You jump solo when playing with randoms? You do realize you can activate the "No Fill" option and just play solo right? Honestly, why spoil the game for people that jump into it looking for the SQUAD gameplay experience. If you wanna play solo then play solo and stop ruining the game for other people. You are what's wrong with the game fella
- @i-Norm I do it exactly to ruin the game for others - you can call me skill based matchmaking.

That would be a reasonable take if,
1) Randoms didn't assume you were there for their enjoyment of the game only.
2) Randoms didn't push 1 v 3 or even 1 v 6 and then berate you for not saving them from their own lack of tactics or planning.
3) Randoms didn't insist on hitting a high volume area, and then leave you with no guns while they go back to step 2.
So, yeah, no, if they are going to an area just to die then I am under no obligation to follow them.- @Kyldenar I had a squad once do that where I landed opposite side of the map from them because they landed in a multi squad area with little path to success.
I can’t remember if I brought one of them back or if that one survived, but the third player died. Either way, the second guy came up to me after rejoining me and proceeded to just fire his wingman at me for the last 5 minutes or so until we both were downed. All because I wouldn’t land with him and his buddy in a certain-immediate-death situation.
