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
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. @Kyldenar High risk high reward.
Going into battle while 1 of your teammates is on the otherside of the map looting safely is a lot more annoying than everything you described. If you can't win a battle with a full squad, what are you gonnna do solo against 3?
I personally HATE games where we run the whole map and only see an enemy when we hit final 3 squads. I would much rather finsih 10th with 5 kills than 1st with 1.
Honestly. It's a BR game. Where's the fun in hiding? I've had 20 kills twice in the game. Both times came from hot drops. First ring closes on 10 kills. And the funny thing is, both my 20 kill games I didn't win. We cam 2nd and 4th.
Winning is great, but PLAYING is better. Stop being afraid of the game.
@i-NormFrom you on another post:
"I don't get this obsession people have with aim assist. I always check to see if mine is on because my aim is terrible anyway! Yes its on, then why doesn't it work fo me lol"
Seems you cant aim at all and yet smug bout your 20 kills on 2 matches like a pro. I smell a plain lie or a player being carried by someone. People play the way they want to and you are a nobody believing to be better than others.Truth hurts i know.
