I have High Stats, a lot of kills, badges and Wins.
In the Armor event, I've been playing as the Random player.
Yesterday, I had two wins, and not to blow my own horn, but I got the wins for the team as the Random, and I got Champion status several times too yesterday.
Now a Random shows up, is the Champ, great Stats, and guess what? The other 2 play really bad, don't seem to care, they were also not high level, or had good stats, so wouldn't they, or shouldn't they care, to play with and follow someone at a Champion level, well they don't care, and I even had them both die on me as the Champ and then don't even wait for me to recover and respawn them, they just DC.
Bottom Line many people don't care, and many people don't understand that at times, you do need to mix up the game style, depending on how things work out, what you run up against.
Sometimes you rush, sometimes you don't.
There is no 'One Sized' fits all rule to playing, you have to be versatile and patient to play and kill and win, and that is not the mentality of the majority!
P.S. I actually died as a Random player once, I waited, my team recovered me, and I went on to Win the game for the team,they both got knocked down at the end, and I stayed alive and won it for us! So when people think there is no point, the truth is, they don't have a Crystal Ball to read the future!
