Re: Let's bash the new guy!

@MandatoryIDtagI'm with you with this. Whenever we jump on trios we get a complete noob that can't even pick up basic items despite having stuff pointed out to them. They end up playing aggressive, can't 1v1 whether it's due to aiming and/or movement, get downed and fury ping. Just brrruuuhhhh.

@E9ine_AC Depends if smurfs make up their numbers I guess. Surely you wouldn't see much of a difference in terms of player retention

    @E9ine_AC There's levels tho and I don't have the patience to play with noobs that are that bad. It's different if you can see they actually try...

    @GH0STEDbyME I just think back when i started. I was a bot i was scared to do anything i never listened to my tream cause i thought i knew better. It happens it takes some time to learn for some people. It is why I have never harrassed a team mate. No matter their levels cause people can make it to 100 and still not know the basics of the game yet.

    I consider myself a less than average player and have a number of difficulties that I've mentioned before, like very poor Internet, being partially deaf and the lighting reactions of a 54 yo lol.

    While, due to playing a lot, I'm way past level 500 I was put in a game last night with a level 3 and a level 8. Not sure who that is suppose to protect under sbmm. The level 8 tried and gave z good account, but once downed disconnected and the level 3 quivered in the middle of the map after chasing a drop ship solo at the start, until I was downed and dead and then came toward my deathbox to be lazered.

    Seem to get a lot of low level teammates particularly late at night. But some (not a lot) of the matches can be good. 

  • @GH0STEDbyME Exactly this lol. Landed at airbase last night w had a rando mirage....now the sad thing is this dude was level 418 or some crap.

    He breaks off solo and pings where he's going at airbase, fair enough. What he clearly didn't do was freelook back and see the 2 squads landing right on his ping...or pay attention to our enemy pings on the way down.

    He gets deathboxed in a split second and furiously hammers the deathbox ping whilst I manage to fight my way to his beacon. Once I've grabbed it the second squad rolls up, he starts hammering the beacon ping now.

    Me and my bud fight off this team too, respawn the guy and ping we're moving as we've made so much noise.....he ignores this and loots an already drained area....lo and behold he gets jumped by the very squad we were trying to avoid..dies and so the cycle repeats.

    People are idiots.

    @MandatoryIDtag I played with a guy today who started the game by telling us that if we found an alternator and prowler he would craft digis for them and as bloodhound 7 kills would be the easiest thing ever. My friend and I won the game......the random had his exact loadout and did 43 damage 😂
