From my experience you don't need much for a nice experience. U dont even have to use voice or text chat at all. Just ping things.

Top 2 tips:

1- Ping weapons, attachments, ammunition, vests and helmets your teammates might need it. You migh not need that blue vest since you`ve found a purple one, but your teammate with a grey one might need it. And specially, ping enemies. Even after some time in combat, players move everywhere and your teammates might have missed them.

2- Pay attention to you teammates` location and stick relatively near them. I`ve lost count of how many times ppl just wandered off on their own because they were done looting the place while a teammate was getting the scraps that were left behind. I know its nice to have all the loot for yourself but if you are 300m away and something happens the odds are that the rest of the team won't be able to back you up.

Some really nice tips and advice already.

Matches and teammates vary each time. Have realistic expectations about your next match.

If you're on a good run, don't just try to drag your team to victory. It will just lead to instant disappointment.

At the same time, don't expect your team to be bad because you had bad experiences, or because your team has low experience. Think of a way you can make it a good match. See it as an opportunity to use weapons and tactics you have been waiting to try.

Dont murder an entire enemy team by yourself and clutch victories or your team will also ragequit out of jealousy.
This happens to me ALL THE TIME.
They will spectate me kill all 3 of the enemies that killed them and then after the battle is over they will quit.. Even though i can get them all back up.
Always pick wraith or mirage so you can evade enemies once your team eventually quits. You will need the evasion abilities if your alone.

  There's a difference between queuing on your own and going off on your own. If you are queuing on your own it doesn't matter which Legend you use.
  It's probably best to achieve a balance between Legends if possible, but not essential.
  Consider the levels of your teammates when you are Launchmaster.
  I like putting my team down on the supply ship or in the high level loot areas. These places are also the most contested areas at the beginning of matches and may lead to new players being unable to cope. Try setting your team down where there are less players to fight at the beginning. It will lead to a longer matches more often than not.
