Run and Hide

"This game is not a hide and seek."

Well, since you brought it up... it's an interesting point. Some people, MOST people, who play this game think that it is a competitive shooter. Some people, relatively few but still some, see it as a stealth survival game. Who is right and who is wrong? Is it the first group because they have legion short-attention-span pre-teens on their side? Is it the second group because they understand the difference between short-term fun and long-term success? The truth, as with so many things in life, is somewhere in between. But when faced with teammates who believe in one extreme of the continuum and may not even be aware of the existence of the other end... then what are you supposed to do? Call your squadmates "toxic" and report them for sabotage? Get them banned? Did they ruin your match? Or did you ruin theirs?

I've had way too many teammates over the years who said about me exactly what you said about them: "...didn't contribute anything to the team." Which I translate as, "...refused to help me on my hot drop suicide mission." I'm sorry the game doesn't match teammates on play style rather than... whatever it is they think they're matching us on. We'd all be happier if it were so.

This game is not a hide and seek. 

LMAO, that is such an entertaining thought. Is it really wrong to play such a style of preference?

I mean, my squad made champion and we NEVER encountered any other squad (not for a lack of trying, we just never caught up to any in time). So shooting isn't the only path to champion.
