If you're checking the box to fill squadmates it's because you're not willing to wait 10 minutes for a match.
And careful with the whole "consenting to play as a squad" thing. That means different things to different people and you might easily find yourself the object of someone else's ire for a failure to imagine the game as they imagine it.
Yeah, the matchmaking complaint that @Gator762FMJ has comes from the same root cause as you and I have noted in the past - the Matchmaking doesn't consider preferred play style at all. And I assume it never will because of they way they gather and sort matchmaking data surely doesn't factor in a desire to play it slow and careful vs W-Key Leroy Jenkins plays.
The solution to this issue, as noted, would be for each account to have a screen were they can fill out matchmaking preferences. It would have questions like,
And each would have a yes/no setting you could toggle. Then you can leave it, or change it up here and there based on what you are looking for.
Then, the matchmaking would, also considering your SBMM stats, consider these answers to try to squad you up with like minded players.
If they actually did this, I might consider coming back.
@Kyldenarsounds nice
I prefer late drops, away from the bloodbath.
Gather gear then get ready for whatever may happen.
Use critters as target practice, EVO shield levelling, and crafting material income.
Hit certain areas for summoning gold gear bubbles.
Max out Longbow and armor.
Get an L-star.
Make ambushes.
Find hiding spots so you can respawn your ally in duos 3 times, collect their banner again, then get plastered trying to get closer to the respawn beacon because you are 285 meters of 200 from the beacon, and the final squad is between you and the beacon. As Crypto, mostly using the drone.
That was yesterday.
But yes, late drop, stealth, and sniping are my playstyle.
@Unitee01 You're clearly not paying that close attention here, except for when you seek out @reconzero and I to tell us how we play the game wrong and are having bad wrong fun.
If you were paying attention, you'd realize I have uninstalled from PC months ago (shortly after Catalyst release) and play so little on PS4 that I have yet to unlock a character on it that was not given out free from an anniversary.
rEAspawn made it clear they don't want casuals with their matchmaking, and I in fact did leave for games that better respect my time.
And how freaking slanted the few matches I have played on PS4 this season, how utterly destroyed those lobbies were by one or 2 players (you know, lobbies that should be around level 20) tells me the churn is getting really bad and the game is now mostly Types 1, 2, and 3.
And it totally is rEAspawn's matchmaking, because I can play Crucible and Gambit in Destiny 2 and while I don't get the top kills on my team, I am always able to contribute at least double digits.
