Hi!
There are many ways to counter a first fight, and battles later in the game. Some people have the believe that you should be agressive and push, cause thats the way they come to learn about themselfs to bee most effective. This is the kind of playstyle that you kind of need to have if you ever want to be able to be that consistant hopdrop-zone survivor.
This style is ofcourse more effective if you have a trio with the same mindset.
Also remember the more fights you take, win or loose them, you allways will be growing in to a high skill player faster, and can then start to develope the fine line whenever decide to be defensive/agressive/baiting etc, cause in the end its all about what situation you are in.
There are many different gamers within this style, there are upcoming talents, grinders,pros, and even legends. Since this game is fresh from a couple of weeks back, there are many players grinding their skill to get good.
The question you should ask yourself after the first minutes in a game should be wheter if you should adapt to them, or make them adapt to you wich is a lot harder to do. What happens if you push with theese guys, try to talk to them, maybe drop some items and show that you want to learn, or even if the player doesnt respond to this, can you broaden your own game just watching what other players do/dont do?
In all honesty, since there are only trio availeble at the time, everyone should be able play the way that they think its fun. be open minded, every human is different. Go out there and have fun!! If you cant connect with the other guys in your them make the best of it to learn and HAVE FUN!!! This is all up to you and no one else.
