I do empathize with higher level players, and I feel out of place when I'm paired with them.
The issue is that is it not fun to be the one who carries, and it is not fun to be carried.
The problem is, when I'm the one having to do the carrying, it may not happen.
I would like to transcend myself and become able to Carry the UN-CARRY-ABLE, but the chances of that happening any time soon are slim to none....
This is a typical scenario. the team lands in a decent area, with some loot, at least a gun and either shield or helmet. In the same area there is only another team. Both team mates are knocked after a few exchanges with the enemy team, you are the only one alive. You EVOLVE, transcend yourself, temporarily, and manage to kill the entire opponent team, but are left with no health, ammo and armor.
You pick up the first team mate who already had a blue shield from the drop. You pick him up because his banner is about to expire. As soon as he's up he runs to loot the opponents boxes. Meanwhile the other team mate's banner is about to expire, and to save yourself a trip to a beacon, you go and pick him up. The first thing he does is go looting the boxes, and by the time you get there, there is nothing left. You ask for heals and cells, nothing. ok, so now you have to loot before fighting again.
You ping where you are going, and move next door and scavenge for loot, manage to find 2 cells and 2 syringes, so you heal up as best as you can, but you have no ammo.
In the meantime, the 2 team mates decided to move in another area on the opposite direction from you for who knows what reason, when you hear a rifle shot. One of your team mates has shot an enemy team who was completely unaware of your presence, and attracted their attention. Your mate shoots again, and misses again, and again. The enemy shoots back with a triple take and 2 shots after your team mate is down, and thirsted with the 3rd and 4th shot thereafter. The other team mate runs, once again, in the opposite direction.
To be a good team mate, you go for the mate's banner, and decide to take a look at his box, and surprise! 6 bats 4 med-kits and 440 light ammo among what looks like 10 cells and 4 syringes, a purple backpack which he took from a dead player 2 mites earlier, while you were rezzing the other guy on your team.
So, still not healed from the last fight, you pick up just the bare to survive 2 syringes, a packet of light ammo, and 2 cells to top off your shield which has turned blue during the previous fight, but while there also you take some shots and what you took from the dead player is not enough anymore, just to see a message popping up saying something along the line of "for real? you looting my box?" soon after he disconnects. He would have had to go in the zone to recover his stuff, but it was the first circle anyways, so he would have probably survived it, given the enemy team would have not scavenged the box first (As an afterthought, I should have probably pillaged his box, he left anyways).
You try to reach the other team mate who in the meantime has failed to see that he was running straight into another team and gets erased.
Shortly after you have 2 teams on you... you get killed.
Repeat this algorithm for 30 times in a row.... with variations like... instead of splitting and dying, you get jumped by a team while you are looking for loot with they had but did not share, You ping the enemy and are forced to defend yourself, hoping your TEAM will come to help. Instead, they just moved even farther. GG
I'm not blaming my team mates.. but does that sound like fun?
