I think this change definitely favours the better players. For below average players like myself it makes the game a lot harder. I still find it fun to play but at the moment most games last less than a minute so it's starts to get a bit boring as I'm spending more time waiting for the game to load than actually playing it
@Marge010 Maybe, but here's the thing...you will get better. Honestly, I don't think the load times have nearly as much with you dying as this game just often puts up potato servers and god awful teams. It even rewards people who quit.
Pre-made squads are one solution. But even from someone who plays solo, and learned 'the hard way', you will overcome, with the mindset that obstacles are learning experiences. Okay, maybe you are already doing that, but I would then do it more.
I have a big recommendation if you are dying to fast...while it is generally better to stick to your team, avoid hot landings. Avoid them even if you have to break away from your team. They are the plague. You are much better off learning this game by landing in less populated drop zones, and moving. When you are the drop team leader, be sure to do this, and if your team solo drops because they don't like where you pick, let them.
At some point, you will be better, and you will be able to compensate for the weird preferences of your team. Even knowing if you are going to be landing in a hot zone, where to land so you have loot, your back to the wall, and are less likely to find someone in the first few seconds you need to pick stuff up. But that's for later.
Right now, you do you. Do not feel beholden to your team unless they are your friends and playing with you. And if they are your friends, I'm sure they'll be more understanding of what you need to do. If they are bic PUGs, make sure you use that mute button. A good pug will know what to do, and adapt. A bad pug was going to ruin your game anyway. keep that stiff upper lip!
