I'm not trying to suggest that you'll win tons of trios matches without squadmates. But you can win some of them. And the ones you don't win are, like any match, a learning experience. But the first step is to completely rework your playstyle and match goals, at least for matches without squadmates. You have to "rat," as the fools call it. It's derogatory shorthand for "play smarter, more cautiously, and avoid fights until they're unavoidable." It's 99% position based, and 1% gun skills based. Not something most players have the patience for, but it will harden you in ways that pay off later, even when you have a full team. Food for thought.

@reconzeroI do that all the time. I prefer stealth over bloodbath. I have one of those device/internet setups that are trash for competitive gameplay and it tends to cost me dearly in full on fights.
I take great sniper positions and I can deal plenty of damage while my city-dwelling allies go in and finish them off.
I'm rural, I live in the woods. Best plan available out here is 15Mb DSL. Can't wait for the Gb-Fiber in over two years.
Anyways, I rely on my allies to win. I can do well with snipers but close quarters is a meat grinder against me.
Lately though, I've found I'm better at jumping in with NewCastle to keep my allies alive or revive them in the midst of battle.
Jump on them with Castle Wall, deploy that drone, start reviving, and they can touch us unless they bust one of the 3 corners of my setup that's protecting us as I revive my ally. Be it a portion of Castle Wall, some of my drone's shield, or my revive shield.
So some of the issues some people may experience is about the tech a person has or is available to them. Like mine. Until more is available for my area there's nothing I can do about it.
Where was I going with this?... ...
Oh right. Stealth has lead me to victory, or at least close to, several times. Bloodbath always limits me to 16th or less.
So should Bloodbath lovers and stealth lovers que together or separate?
Together, as is now, broods a lot of hate. Separate would make it more enjoyable, as bloodbath lovers wouldn't ruin the game for the stealth lovers. - reconzero3 years agoSeasoned Ace@Zulkiers
"Together, as is now, broods a lot of hate."
This is, for me at least, the born cross of matchmaking. I'm getting very impatient with less experienced teammates who want FRAG, ESTATES, STORM CATCHER, and absolutely nothing else. I hate their hot drops (and won't join them) and they hate my cold drops and will either a) break off mid jump b) run toward danger as soon as they hit the ground c) quit d) whine until they make ME quit e) all of the above.
Playstyle-based matchmaking is the way forward.
