Re: Why do so many people fight with the ring coming up on their rear ends?

I get that, but to me that seems like poor planning. Like, I get that heat shields exist, but it seems to me if you have to use one you're not paying attention. I'd much rather have a mobile re-spawn beacon in that slot.

(I'd also rather they have us drop with a P2020 and take it out of the ground loot pool, but I'd also like a Pony)

It isn’t preferable but it happens.  There are ways to deal with the ring and sometimes you can take the opportunity to hunt others who’ve been caught.

@Kyldenar Totally depends on the situation. Sometimes you have to fight. And if it is round 1 it doesn't hurt that much.

This, When you have a lot of supplies and heat shields it's def worth trying to pick a fight with a team.
Non-experienced players will panic and will only run or fight back and get picked off guard.

It's sometimes tricky but you get the hang of it when you do it more often.

@Kyldenar  sometimes no amount of planning can prevent this kind of scenario.

It becomes a decision of whether you can viably escape said team that are shooting you in the back, or whether you need to engage to increase survival odds.

Team composition is a massive factor to decision making in this kinda scenario.

Zeels points are also an valid observation.

Sometimes it's inevitable due to bad luck.  I ran into two teams at Countdown trying to rotate to third ring.  Short of an unlikely truce, there was pretty much no way any team was making it out of that, and none did.
