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,
- 'Hot Drop'?
- Aggressive?
- Stealthy?
- Careful?
- Long Range engagements
- Mid Range engagements
- Short Range engagements
- Loot then Fight?
- Prefer Kills over Placement?
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.
