Noobs Noobs Noobs
In this game, I was in a duo with my friend. We don't mind having noobs as our third since we're just doing our daily challenges (hence the Mirage and Fuse) and hop on back to Overwatch. Our third do...

I see what you mean. No, definitely not the same player, although similar in some respects. I am curious though: "I understand and respect your concept of playing more for the win, but it doesn't concern me that much." Does this mean that in a multi-team game the win is too hard to get so you don't think about it? Too unlikely to come so you don't think about it? Too unlikely to come with random teammates and bad sbmm? Or just too many years of arena shooters where kills were a higher priority because they literally = winning? What's the thought process on not playing for the big goal?

@reconzero I'm not ignoring your message. But it proved to give me food enough for thought that I don't yet have a clear, thoughtful answer to give you. In simple terms, I'm playing for self improvement so that I may become a better player, rather than trying to rack up wins. I like the buzz of winning games as much as the next guy, but getting better is more important to me. And avoiding fights to try to place higher will not help me achieve that goal.
- @pandareno1999 My friends and I used to be liked this back around seasons 3-5. We would play the game like PUBG and never initiate fights if it’s the last 5 squads remaining. Then if it’s the last 3 squads, we would make sure we’re the third party so that we get wins. Eventually winning got stale and in the long run improving during fights actually gave us more wins.

I would have called that answer both clear and thoughtful. I can definitely see where you're trying to get and I'd say you're following the right map to get there. Personal experience tells me that you may find you don't really like the weather at your destination, but your experience may well be different than mine was when I was a... grindier player. Grindier? Is that the word I was looking for? Well, I'm sure you know what I mean. - @Cheese9Man I am similar. I'd rather fight and die than do nothing and win. But if it comes down to my team and 2 others I'm working to push the teams together, force their fight and win the game. If the teams are quite split I'll try to wipe one team quick. I'm not playing a full game just to chuck it out the window at the end.
@Cheese9Man Kind of a middle ground for me - when I make it to the late game, I (and my friends) start to play much more strategically. After all, end game brings a whole bunch of other skills to bear, which I also want to improve upon. My high skill friend with whom I play the most excels at this - I have spectated him winning many a game solo when I have been boxed and unable to be respawned, and he has IGL'd us into plenty of wins when were had lost our random third, as well.
I guess, essentially ditto what @hayhor just said.
