Prowlers ruining stormpoint
Three games today they interfere in critical battles against humans. I’m playing to pit my lousy skills against humans, not monsters that make it even harder for me to compete. Very frustrated and no...

Are you playing PUBS or Ranked?
Sounds like you are playing with Randoms is that correct?
Try playing with friends and with microphones if possible for better communication.
I play with both Randoms and friends, with friends the coms are better and we can better navigate together. With Randoms the mic is helpful but the others do not always have that so the ping system has to work.
I have and do when it is tactically sound perform long rotations for many various reasons. To avoid obvious choke points, have a better position in the next rings (so teams have to come to us, not us to them). So yes prowlers can be avoided for the most part if not entirely.
I am playing mostly ranked and for the most part the Randoms I play with have a pretty good game/map sense and they are usually looking for early KP, the win/placement and are very aware of the benefits of proper positioning and rotating on the map require.
I think they are okay, but there are too many of them. They should be more like spiders - only coming out if you shoot at the nest (and why do creatures that big live underground lol?)
I think they are OKAY but they are definitely to many. Yesterday I almost died to prowerls + enemys but won even the round which was very unexpected due to the fact that all valk mains (sorry to the good ones tho) are hella dumb and don't wanna use their ulti soooo many times! I died more than many times due to those late ult usages and died EVEYTIME in the ring. Sorry, I digressed. Anyways I hope they reduce the number of the prowerls but overall they are fine imo.
Coincidentally I had a random valk yesterday who refused to transport us away from a fast ring in an area where we were being pursued by a team who was outgunning us. The next round was on the other side of the map and we had zero chance of reaching it without the valk’s help. Instead we all were ambushed at a choke point by another team. I tried every way I could to talk to the valk or to get its attention. Totally ignored. Maybe they had no idea how to fly.
It's a simple concept to survive prowlers in nearly any situation if you have the awareness of current situation.
Identify. Assess. Evolve.
Identify the problem: in a prowler nest while engaged with an enemy.
Assess the situation: ring coming in, one way out, one can make distance between the enemy and prowlers if the opportunity is taken.
Evolve: put into practice what needs to be done to obtain superior positioning. Whether it be using abilities against enemies. Mirage', Gibraltar', or valk' ult. Using grenades and gunplay. Or simply ignoring the enemy letting the prowlers deal with them.
Results may vary due to teammates being 60%-70% of the problem of not abiding to tactical thinking, opting for adrenaline, action, and fighting rather considering what not be done.
