Why playing a BR FPS if all you do is trying to avoid ANY fights?

I constantly run into very passive players on my team who seem TOTALLY scared of taking fights. First of all, it's PUBS, so what have you got to lose? Then, I understand not being reckless in your ...

    @Vdstrk When I first started playing I was heavy into cping and letting other teams destroy each other. Its a strat that seriously led to me having my highest win percentage seasons. What curved me from that was spending the whole game hiding and then having a pre-made pred squad kill you in 2 seconds, 15 of looting and having everything decked out to be insta downed while doing 15 damage was a horrible feeling so I decided to get better and have more fun. In pubs I almost always go hot just because I want to set a good tone either we win and start playing the game more strategic because after first ring it's like 3 or 4 teams that you have to find or we lose quick and I hop into another game. I play ranked very passive tho and am very selective of the battles I fight. But that doesn't always matter because the other day we pushed one team that respawned a teammate then get 4th partied where I got thirsted, get brought back to get 4th partied again. After that we had 1 fight for positioning for ring but by the end of the game we had 23 kills as a squad and only made one push to a fight and got 2nd place.

I understand playing smart. Sometimes you can just engage, and sometimes you have to disengage, as a team. Sometimes you have enough resources to take a fight sometimes not. Then obviously position matters in why or not taking a fight.
But running away, and i mean in the opposite direction, including in the microwave... well that seems to me the behavior of someone who would much rather play a different game.

@Vdstrk Definitely. All depends on the person or even the mood. Cause most times I play just to dmg and kill but sometimes I don’t think of myself and think of the team 😜 I’m a selfish person xD.

But I fully agree. Some just seem suited playing another game, but they might just love shooters, so we can’t judge... until they f up!

    It's ok.. Everyone needs to start at some point and somewhere, I guess. I just can't connect FPS and no firefights at all.
    It is highly situational for sure, so a match is hectic and another is 100% boring I guess.

      Easy answer, THIRD PARTYING. Many teams avoid fights and just wait for 3rd parties so they can try and get easy kills.

      I wish the game would make gunfire and Alts not so loud so you cant hear shots 500m away. If they reduced this, there would be far less 3rd partying and I would push fights all the time.

      The thing is, not everyone is confident and good enough and lack the skill, so buy pushing with a team like this, you more or less got to kill everyone by yourself, as team mates go down within 5 secs.

      If you play with friends, its so much easier, but playing trios with randoms just sucks, this is why I prey they bring back solo mode. For those times, when you do play by yourself, it would be far less frustrating, thats for sure

        Yes, but when you third party someone you actually take a fight. I am talking about people who do not even want to shoot a single bullet, they literally run away from each fight...

        I understand new players for sure, and that is ok... It gets very frustrating in the long run, when you are paired with level 30s match after match, but that is pubs. The reason it gets frustrating is that I wish to be able to help my team, but when there is no comms, they do not listen, they do not take fights, do not push or defend/disengage, then after 20 matches like that... I feel frustrated and I have to stop playing for a bit.
        It is so bad that most of the times it is totally irrelevant having ults, because you do not even need to use them, or do not even have a chance, because the team dies way to fast --ults are not even charged yet.
