Random teammates are completely out of control now

Ya  know when you had those games when you get a few brain-dead teammates and but in an okay way? Now no, in the last 5 days, I swear every game is the same with the worst teammates ever.

Every damn time, just either hot dropping to Bonsai Plaza or only dropping at Estates, KC is the same, let's early hot-drop. got exhausted mentally fast of this.

If I play duos, I swear all of them just detach, land, and die, this is a smaller problem because at least I can play on my own.

If I hot drop with them, I am the only one usually alive, with no damn gun (old loot pool is great), and I'm always picking up their banner running away, and guess what, by the time I reach the respawn beacon, either one, or both of them are gone.

I always die, because I always, ALWAYS have to save them or try to save them, because they are picking unnecessary fights, always rushing in mindlessly to a fight not measuring anything

In recent days it happened on several occasions that while we were looting, I bumped into a legend, I take him down, I hear the other 2 teammates pushing me, get stuck in the building because one is pushing from the front the other is rotating, I ping the enemy, the gunfight brakes out, what happens? my teammates just continue looting, and pinging stuff while I am doing a 1v2, and what blows my mind, if I get out from the situation I always try to heal as fast as possible because I might get third partied, what happens when I took down everybody?, they stop looting, go to the death boxes and they take everything while I am healing

They keep looting for 10 minutes, and they keep looting the same area that already has been milked, I will be honest, at this point, I always start to move but I warn them I am moving or tell them to loot on the way because I don't want to constantly loot, especially when we already took everything from there, what happens? and always the same thing happens, they are looting for so long a team finds them and they die, why? because they are not focusing just looting, looting, and looting, like its a damn looting simulator

And this is what I absolutely hate, if we are not hot dropping for some magical reason, I ping which building I am going to, they ping the same building, okay I got to another one (would like to mention here that usually there are 3 or 4 other buildings around us), guess what, he is behind my snatching all my loot, and I'm like WTF, and I swear there are players who are stuck to my a*s like glue while I am exploring the building snatching everything, If I go to a container  I open it, everything is gone, why? because he was behind me all the time, and the only thing I see is "yoink", especially if it's an Octane, just stim up running around taking everything

I so damn hate this damn game, because Respawn is forcing the stupid teamplay mentality that does not exist for solo players

  • @hayhor undoubtedly the cream will rise to the top, it's going to be a rude awakening for those people who think they're the undiscovered Shroud and then they realize they lose 90% of their 1v1s as Wraith. 

    I just want solos because I'm tired of playing with people. Toxic teammates, selfish players, people who can't figure out how to shoot their gun, etc. etc. I've had enough of it tbh.

    @BaldWraithSimpI wanted to put a scene from Fresh Prince where jeff says this: "I've never known the pleasures of the flesh but I'd be convinced to give up the priesthood for you." cause it was such a random scene and such a blatant lie xD

  • @hayhor I know I won't slay in Solos but at least whatever happens will be all on me instead of having to 1v3 because my team did something stupid to get themselves killed or they ran right after the fight begins.
  • I do not like to play solo, I prefer having teammates. But sometimes they do things which I absolutely hate. Like:

    1. Detaching early on from the squad and venture solo. I can tell you that most of them just die. Sometimes we manage to reunite later on but that's rare.

    2. Hot-dropping, and go to a specific spot despite other squads going there too and are clearly ahead of us. Like seriously, I had this on PC where the JM hot-dropped, and said, we land there. Ok, but during the drop I detached and went to a nearby building, because I saw other squads ahead of us. I assumed the JM would see that and would do the same, but no, he landed there and died instantly, and then in the chat he or she questioned why I went into another building and had the nerve to call me trash and noob. Why I went to another building? Oh ,maybe it was because I saw other squads ahead of us and KNEW they were going to take all the guns first? And KNEW that if we landed there we would be nothing but cannon fodder? Ever thought of that? No? Guess now who died and who's still alive? Exactly. And ya call me trash? Like seriously, idk how you can get more brain-dead than this. 

    3. Looting and staying in an area for far too long. I mean sure, if there are no squads around, then I guess we can take the time to loot the area. But then we need to move on. I had a game where we landed at the Docks on Olympus, and we basically passed our entire game there because one of our teammates refused to move on. I was a Rampart with an Octane and a Mirage on the team, the Mirage was the problem here. After we looted the area, we begged the Mirage to come with us someplace else, we even took the Trident near him to board. But guess what? The Mirage did nothing but enter already milked buildings after buildings. He basically ignored us, staying all the time there. We eventually gave up and stayed there too. I honestly do not know how we even managed to get in top 3. 

    4. Staying behind to loot outside the ring while it is moving. I guess that can be ok with the first ring, since it does only a little damage. But I hate this during the later stages. Sometimes I see teammates looting without paying attention to the ring. By the time they realize, it will be too late. They will die, and there's nothing I can do because I will die too in trying to get their banner back.

    5. When I ping to let my teammates know that I am watching over that area or spot, to see if enemies are around. Guess what they do? They turn around and look where I am already looking. I absolutely hate this because, if anything, they should look at the opposite direction, or loot the building we're in or something. You can never know where other squads might come from and I can't have my eyes everywhere. Like come on bruh.

    6. Shooting enemies from far away with anything other than a sniper and revealing our position, possibly to a third party. Like seriously, taking them down like that is highly unlikely, they can just hide easily, and unless you have God-tier aim, why even bother? 

    Those are just a couple of things on top of my head.

    100% completely agree with the post above, because i have been experiencing all sorts of random team mates and they have done everything that has been said, even a rare one of being the last one standing and looting, but then they automatically quit the game and i get team mates who are far from good, they can't hold their own or anything, yet my KD i dunno if it effects anything but it's about 1.15 and the enemy squads are all stacked with good player that are either randoms or proper teams. 

    Then their is also the chance to run across players whom have created a smurf account, just to pub stomp as they say, now i have encountered some who are good, but majority just seem to be pretty bad for some reason and this is all on PS4 Sydney servers, i had to change servers to either Oregon or Salt Lake to fight a different variety of people and skills, but it seems to be the same all around, no matter what server, if you are queueing solo for trios, you are getting placed with bad randoms and it needs to be looked into for players.

    For example as a lifeline main, i got over 5,000 kills for her, i also got 200+ wins with her and so on, no 20 bomb or 4k damage badges sadly, but i am also level 500, the team mates are not even close to them stats, they are about 100 odd kills level 200s and under even some who are fresh and new and so on and it's frustrating as it is putting me off from wanting to play pub games properly and i think a few are in the same boat as me too.

    @Koochi-Q  Do you have a minute to talk about our lord and saviour Jesus Christ?! You need it!

    @hayhor  Don't worry I couldn't tell you the last time he played with us either. I did get an invite from Ferrari as I was going off. I wish I could've messaged them directly to say I was going off but oh well.

    @AcidicSoda44031 All of those reasons are why I hate playing with randoms. Most of them lack common sense.

    @GH0STEDbyME I haven’t played with anyone in few weeks if you don’t count my last play last week or week before with @maximas1986 & scorpion... forgot his full moniker 😅.

    YOU LIVE WITH YOUR FIANCEE, YOU DO NOT ABIDE BY THE LAWS OF THE LORD SO YOU SHALL NOT TEMPT TO ENLIGHTEN ME!
  • @GH0STEDbyME I know right? Man I just had a Gibby on PC who initially stuck with us but then he just constantly ran off alone to some other locations. We were confused, we had no idea what was he doing. I hate this. The chances of winning are higher if the squad sticks together. As soon as I get a solo wannabe, I think that's it, we're doomed.
