What’s your most hated teammate behaviour?
There’s a hell of a lot of toxicity, selfishness and just plain lack of any kind of team etiquette in this game when queuing with randoms , but for me there’s a few things that stand out the most . ...
Forum Discussion
I have two things I hate about some players in this game.
First, just like the OP mentions, I cant stand someone running over to a bin, or following me into a building, and spam snaking every item whether they need it or not.
Second, when players won't attempt to help you in a fire fight or attempt to grab your banner if you've fallen. They just run away like dying in the game would kill them in real life.
Where do I begin?
- Ping spam: Self explanatory.
- Quip spam on the dropship.
- Dropping solo for no reason.
- Two teammates knocking themselves and boosting each other for revives and respawn challenges/badges while you fight 1v3 all game.
- Constant rushing. Sprinting to new areas and expecting to be followed without pinging or warning.
- Shooting my Caustic traps down!! STOP that!
- Late dropping, and going backwards into a hot area where it's blatant that other teams have already landed and are locked up and deeply entrenched in battle.
- Lifeline not healing the team and forcing you all to use meds instead.
- Spamming "I need light ammo" etc and punching you because they can see you've got a light gun too. Bro, maybe I've also got 20 ammo, leave me alone. If I had enough I'd give you some proactively.
- Punching me off edges that I can't easily get back up on for no reason.
- Taking items you've dibsed with plenty of time.
- Ring-lurking for "easy kills" without warning but getting caught in the ring, or getting downed in the ring, before spamming the ping and expecting me to sprint 200m into the ring for their banner.
- Loot goblinism: Snaking items from right under me, or from a lootbox I've just opened when it's clear that I'm rooting through my inventory to shuffle some stuff around.
- Playing solo and dropping with two people who are friends/partied up, and them never pinging or sharing with me because they're telling each other things and holding onto items for each other instead.
- Teammates not joining fights THEY started. They've entered an area alone, started a fight, I've run in to try and help and bail them out, and they've used my distraction to run away and leave me for dead.
- Teammates both sat watching and teabagging my death box, letting my respawn timer count out, so that they can loot my stuff. Yeah, seriously.
- Pinging gold items to show off what you've found, and picking them up. I don't care if you find gold stuff unless you want to pass it onto me. Don't tag a Kraber if you're just going to pick it up, ffs.
- *-poor positioning and awareness. Sitting on a ridge at the edge of the ring with ten seconds to go, now pinned back by two separate teams, but being absolutely oblivious to the fact that I've been hammering the "Let's go here" ping for the last two solid minutes, to get us into a strong position ready for end-game.
- Thirsting and f-ing around when it's the final circle, or final squad. Teammates seem to get a rush of blood to the head and lose all ability to be aware of their surroundings the ring location, and the importance of holding the strong point in the last circle. Had a 3v1 earlier but my teammates got complacent and stupid, and both decided to go for glory individually by chasing the solo guy down near the edge of the ring instead of holding the only building left inside the ring. Both of them got downed one by one, and I had to salvage the win 1v1 - He was a very good player, my teammates underestimated him and almost threw the game because of idiocy and impatience. When you hold the ring, waiting and letting someone come to you is 99.9% of the win.
- Entering long range engagements with enemy snipers and giving away our position using an SMG or another equally short ranged weapon.
- Cheaters. Happens all the time, almost every game.
There are so many more but this felt good to get off my chest.
TMs who are d*cks on purpose. Had one yesterday who just continued pinged "I need energy ammo" over and over and over again, constantly. Same with respawn pingers beep beep beep beep.
I fell for the trick once where they drop their purple/gold shield, ping it then stand near it, then grab it just before you do. If someone does that to me now, I throw thermite at them.
Lobas that shut their shop the split second you get there on purpose. Or Lobas that shut their shop when they are stealing from the vault - yeah I know I can't steal from the vault but there's other stuff around!
People who shut doors in your face when they know you are right behind them. That happened yesterday when me & a Crypto were being chased up the steps at the Airbase. Got to the building at the top and the Crypto shut the door right in my face.
People who, when you've got cover in a fight, punch you out into the open.
Players who when they've started a 1 v 3 and get knocked ping "help" or "enemy here" over and over again when they know full well if I revive them I'd get shot.
Caustics who run into small buildings during a fight and block all the doors with traps so you can't get in. In fact Caustics who block doors full stop. I was knocked in a building at the rig when my Caustic TM came in, blocked both doors with traps then revived me. The enemy squad were soon on us and of course, we were trapped. I almost laughed when the Caustic was knocked when someone shot him through the window. Of course then the room was soon filled with arc stars, grenades and thermite, then harmless Caustic gas (as the enemies shot the traps from a safe distance). And then death.
People who take armour you've dropped for someone else. If I am revived or respawned after a fight then chance upon gold or red armour I often drop it for the person who revived me. Last time I did this the Caustic grabbed it before the Path I was donating it to. We punched him several times but he wouldn't give it up.
- @EdwardDLuffy YES the slamming doors in your face really just ticks me off… Idk why it isn’t talked about more. Had it happen to me twice tonight off the drop lol
- @littlxr Haha I feel like you’ve just vented for me there , I just couldn’t be bothered to write it all down but yeah spot on . It’s beginning to get to the point where playing without my premade is almost unbearable tbh
@EdwardDLuffy yeah I’d say your last one there annoys me a lot . Can’t tell you how many times I’ve dropped stuff for a specific teammate and the other one takes it , for instance dropping a medkit for one that’s on 10health , the other one takes it and then it’s a fist fight til they decide to drop one syringe in return and say that’s all I can drop. Just plain selfishness and stupidity that costs the match
