Re: Bad mouthing squad mates who jump solo

@aisthebestletterI think it depends how you give them your peace of mind. I try to do it in constructive ways (most of the time). It's really frustrating when you get a load out you really like and want to play with.. Only to be downed because your squad mate is on the other side of the map.

I typically tell them, hey this is a team game and a team effort... The idea is that you work together as a team..

Yeah I have had them tell me the loot thing before. I typically tell them what good is loot if you can't use it?!

Then are the times I'm frustrated and I'm not as nice.

It's even more frustrating when it's in ranked, simply because it's much more difficult to win fights 2vs3 in ranked. The skill gaps just don't exist in ranked. So you really need every team mate pulling their weight.

I had a round the other night in which me and my squad mate downed 5 people. He was pinging the vault, and I was pinging enemies. he runs off to the vault anyways.. I even told him, we'll go after we finish this fight.. Nope he could not wait. Despite the fact that we all had purple already and one of us had gold armor. So the loot vault really was not worth it to begin with.. What was he hoping to get 2-3 gold items? Maybe a purple stock or barrel stabilizer? 

He came running back to us, but by the time he got there 2 of the 5 people we had downed were revived and healed. He got melted instantly and lost all the loot he grabbed.. I asked him if it was worth it..

But I try to keep in mind kids play this game. Kids do dumb things, like get preoccupied with things such as the loot vault.. When that happens they lose sight of the ultimate goal of the game. Some kids are not so bad, they still get preoccupied but you can guide them a bit.
