Re: Stop. Making. Me. Land. In. Hot zones. With. You.

@DaDeDimson OH boy, tell me about it. From last two days my 90% games go like this:

1. 'Fragment hot droppers' or sorting
2. The 'throw the game when we reach top 5' guy by splitting off from the squad, making most nonsensical 0 IQ and stupid AF rotations possible in this whole universe
3. Charge into a room full of enemies and die or run off solo
4. The 'top 3 pusher' that can't seem to comprehend that the 3rd team will punish you if they have line of sight
5. Players that can't hold their weight, specifically GOLD PLAYERS or some lvl 70 hardstuck Plat IV 💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤

I am tryna Solo-queue here, why do I keep getting gold players on my team? Respawn hello? I reach Plat I and then some idiots costs me my points, had a Pred(last
season) duo on my team hotdropped us in countdown and die ofc. Back to Plat II.

    @BaldWraithSimp I’ve been getting stuck with a lot of gold players as well that cost me my match or do the things that I am describing. I am currently at plat II and I normally finish each split in diamond IV or III, so I would appreciate being in my own playing field.

    @BaldWraithSimp 

    Well, when I was going through gold, I would get duo queues as mates, when one was sometimes bronze.

    Yes.  Yes go for the top! :D

    I think hard stuck plat is mostly plat players though.  Went through this on another thread but if you are consistently Plat III-I, you're really a diamond IV who hasn't quite gotten there yet.

    Not a fragment fan but yesterday I did have my MOST INTENSE GAME ever there. Me (Fuse), Caustic and BH were stuck in that half-destroyed building and we just could not get out. We were stuck in there for ten whole minutes and we were third, forth, fifth, six and seventh partied. It was absolute bedlam - non-stop action. Fortunately Caustic was ace with his traps and BH with his scans (and of course me with the KC) but it was manic - up, down, jumping off the roof, climbing the zip line, chasing enemies. At one stage I had 750 damage without even a knock as enemies kept running off to cover. AND WE BEAT THE LOT OF THEM!!!

    Now the sad bit ... With five squads left we were at the edge of Epicenter and I need shields desperately. I opened a bin to find a cell next to a white shield ... and you can guess what happened. YES GAME I DO WANT TO EXCHANGE MY RED SHIELD FOR A CRAPPY WHITE ONE!! I wasted valuable micro-seconds popping the red shield back on before charging and a Bang got the jump on me for the kill. This left poor Caustic solo and he lost a 1v2 ☹️

    Another time I wish the XBox has an 'auto record last game' feature.

    @EdwardDLuffy I could not count how many times shielding swapping to a white has saved my life and allowed me to win the fight. 2 bubbles is better than no bubbles.

    @E9ine_AC This is exactly right. I get annoyed watching people who wont swap their purple out because it is "'close" to red while an enemy comes to 3rd party and the teammate is popping a battery instead of a medkit.

    @hayhorWell my rule of thumb is ignore hp. Shields are my hp. If shields are gone then im already dead 9 out of 10 times. I will run around 1 hp and still pop cells or bats before touching my hp. Once flesh time to kill is now reduced more then half. Takes a half a mag for most guns to drop a flesh user.

    @E9ine_AC I get you. What I'm saying tho is you shield swap them med up. You dont batt and med when you know a team is likely near.

    @hayhor I am definitely guilty of this, sometimes. I generally try to shield swap to finish the battle, and then grab my old shield if it is still the better option, but sometimes I find myself playing it stupid, when I need less than 10-20 dmg for red lmfao
