Stop matchmaking with incompetents
My previous seasons all had positive KD This season is negative. Constantly paired with people who literally drop late and drop in the middle of nowhere near no loot. They can't down an empty plas...

The way this game "balances" matchmaking is to put high-experience solo queue players with much less-experienced teammates. They don't try to balance within the squad, only within the match. This is why I get something very similar to what you're getting, only in my case the two inexperienced players ALWAYS drop into some center-of-map dumpster fire where they're lucky to survive 45 seconds, and I'm the one who always drops alone on the edge, as far from danger as possible.
I never used to quit when they went down. I used to play on as far as I could go as a solo. But the last few seasons I usually just quit and re-queue and hope for better matchmaking. But, as noted above, there isn't any better matchmaking. Even when I get squadmates with banners that show they're capable of getting kills, they still drop center and die early. All anyone cares about in this game is kills. It's like they're not even aware of the fact that this an objective-based game.

@reconzero I don't mind the odd hot drop now and then... but at least drop correct.
They'll fly past the drop drop backwards see 10 enemy squads landing then drop to the middle random point no near loot spots or bins and get erased. How do they even enjoy that?
Equally I hate dropping far and slowly looting your perfect loadout seeing not a single enemy for 20 minutes and then they teammates get wiped immediately.
Whether we're pushing or strategising just do it with at least half a brain or ounce of competency.

"Equally I hate dropping far and slowly looting your perfect loadout seeing not a single enemy for 20 minutes and then they teammates get wiped immediately."
Is it the 20 quiet minutes you hate, the perfect load out, or the 20 minute wait for the squamate implosion? Or all three?Tell me more about The Finals. Is this a free-for-all arena shooter mode you're talking about? What made it fun?
@reconzeroYeah the finals is an arena shooter with abilities and custom loadouts. The differentiator is that everything on the map including buildings is destructible. This feature makes each game feel unique. The game is free. The studio is the battlefield guys who did the original destruction in that game. I suggest giving it a whirl. I've got over 100 hours in now and do not see stopping. The core mode is 3 man teams but the last few weeks they have been trying different solo modes.

Oh, how I'd like to have another game on the side as a diversion. But nothing feels as claustrophobic to me as an arena shooter. They're 3% strategy and 97% tactics in the form of gunplay. BR is the opposite and that's why I escaped to it from Halo. Not sure I could go back again unless the developer is handing out aimbots at the door. But I'll look into it a little more. Are there any PvE game modes?????
- @reconzero The wait for the implosion. Sometimes the journey makes it feel like an open world exploration which cannn be fun on occasion. But to go thru all that for instant death is not the one.
