How do you motivate your teammates?

You can't, plain and simple. You can't encgourage a timid player to fight nor engourage an agreesive player to hold back when they want to push. Believe me I have tried. I can't tell you how many times I have seen my 2 squad mates rush into a situation and die in seconds, them ping like mad for me to come get them. I try, but most times die. Same with playing it safe. So many times we have lasted to the last 2/3 squads and my team wants to hang back and hide, I say "come on let's go, lets find them", ping "let's go there", nope, they won't move. Only to get rushed and killed because we got flanked and shot from multiple angles or were hiding on a cliff side with no escape. (I really don't get that one)

Re: Fight of Flight

For me it depends. If I am jump master and someone pings Skull Town or the "Blue Light" I know they want to jump in to the mix and if the other player agrees then we go. My standpoint is that's OK if we are not in Ranked cause it gives me the chance to practice up. You can't better if all you do is hide.

If someone says "Hey, lets go for the win" then great, we go somewhere away from the frey, loot up and play smart. Especially in Ranked.

I usually only play ranked when I can get at least one friend in my squad. Hopefully one better than me,
