Why it is Respawn refuses to address the actual cause of third partying?

they’re clearly aware of the issue, they even stated in the KC map update patch notes that changes were made to “ease third partying”  if you really want to address third partying then all you have ...

@Zero-Loot5  Fair enough, but there is no coincidental 3rd parties as you call them lol, the moment you hear that teams engagement and you decide to attack then it's a calculated decision, which is also what the majority do.

As for the team you're third partying, I doubt they see any difference between a 'coincidental 3rd party' as you put it, and a team waiting around to 3rd them....as the bottom line is the action is exactly the same.

For the record I'm not sitting on either side of the fence here, I couldn't care less if they try to reduce 3rd party scenarios or not, either way I shall remain a rambo. XD

However if they were to the gunfight audio is only a minor part of the issue, the fact mobility legends, especially legends such as valk/pathy/octane can allow their teams to traverse the map so quickly means that there will always unavoidably be 3rd partying seeing as most teams have at least one of these legends.

you have to condition yourself to heal asap. I see a lot of people stand still on a deathbox with 10 hp, not even swapping and dying to a 3rd party or trying to heal in the open and getting shot. Yes, sometimes a squad rolls up at unfortunate moment and gets cheap kills. But that will always be a problem in a fast paced BR. If I am playing ranked and my squadmates go down when a 3rd team arrives, I am outta there and will play for banner retrieval or use jumpad/portal to get them out.

My gripe is lack of audio sometimes. Had enemy squads using zipline with no audio, shadow totem users jumppadding with no sound. These areas can be improved.

    @BaldWraithSimp Yeah I see a lot of greedy people looting boxes without shield swapping or healing as I'm yelling into the mic heal there is another squad. They die trying to get stuff before others.
