Maybe the squad finder in 1.5 will allow me to find better squads.
I've been playing since beta, and no matter how hard I try, I can't figure out how to survive in a squad. I keep trying over and over again. But when I am solo, I can acquire 3000 points and die 0-3 times. When I squad, I die like 11 times and get like 250 points. I don't understand the developers need to put pressure on people to squad.
I know there are people who squad who do fine for themselves. I don't know how they do it, unless they stay behind the squad and let them take the brunt of the enemy
For me, it won't matter what changes they make that push squadding on us, I'll just be forced into making less points, but I can't survive (isk wise), if I try to squad regularly.  |

I would rather have mouth breathers than pissy sore-losers.
Wow you hit the nail on the head for me. I have a couple of people I can squad with that are cool with my play style and I am cool with theirs. But I don't like to squad with many other people anymore because I hate hearing how they did everything right but the rest of the people in the squad somehow let them down, or didn't kill the guy with the swarm launcher so they lost their drop ship boo hoo. |

I would rather have mouth breathers than pissy sore-losers. Sometimes the only reason you lose a match is because your squad is the only ones doing anything. You check the board afterwards and sure enough, 7th place only got 500 wp, while almost every member in your squad got over 1200. It's like going into a match of 6 v 16 and telling yourself that you were evenly matched.
I'/ve found it to be both ways. You are correct, sometimes it's amazing to see your squad has places 1,2,3,4 on the leaderboard after the match. However, I've been in squads where I had position 1, and some of the squad has left the battle if it wasn't doing well, and also, when I died and look down to rez back in, I see all of my squad is in the hills. So I get the brunt of the bad k/d while they're playing patty cake with their sniper rifles.
I can do that on my own, and die a lot less if I know I'm responsible for just me. |
