I posteda while ago about banning squadsin pub matches. i know that ccp hatesthe idea, but it is the quickest way to fix pubmatches.
Also, make it so you cannot back out once in deployment. make the game an investment, not a choice.
There is a reason you never see me in battle.
it's because I see you first.

Squads can be just as much of a benefit to a new player as a means to protostomp. That's probably why CCP is against it. An optional gamemode where squads are disabled would be an alternative... if we had a healthy enough playerbase to attempt such a thing.
i disagree.
squads in general hinder the players more than they help. the goal here isn't to seethe newbie live longer. i don't know where people get this idea. the idea is to have them PARTICIPATE in this battle. if a squad is against a newbie they spend more time respawning, selecting suits, etc. not participating in the team.
if a squad is For the newbie, then the squad destroyes everything, and the newbie gets little to no role in the battle flow.

if a squad is For the newbie then the squad destroys everything, and the newbie gets little to no role in the battle flow. You are looking at this from the wrong perspective, I think. When I said squads help newbies, I meant that the players in the squads can communicate with one another; veterans can share fitting suggestions, strategy, map knowledge, etc over comms. I've taught more than one new player little tricks and tips over the course of my Dust lifetime. Those players continued playing for months and months. Now imagine what would have happened to them if I didn't explain scan profile vs. scan precision or how nanohives distribute ammo or the best time to start firing on an ADS with a swarm launcher or how ScP deal extra damage on headshots or any number of little tidbits of information. Right now we do not have a comprehensive tutorial for Dust 514. Veterans can be that tutorial, but if new players are barred from joining squads in the most commonly played gamemade (pubs) then that tutorial gets crippled in a big way.
don't know about you, but i did not learn how to use squadfinder or invites until well after the normal person would have quit.
and furthermore what pubstomping squad invites newbies onto their squad. it's almost unheard of. i used to do exactly as you say, but now i have trouble getting them to respond into an in game mail.

This defies literally all the logic. Even if newbros are getting nothing but kill assists they are hearing about the nuances of the game. They see orders being thrown around. They see OBs getting dropped in conjunction with scans for more effect. They learn that grouping up to make a coordinated movement is vital to success.
sadly, the don't see any orders, they don't know that equipment is used to scan enemies. they only know their rifle, and if they are smart, some of them correlate the dots on their tacnet to specific timings, and they get to see the battle. this isnot what we want. new players need to participate, and if i did everything you just posted as a noob, the game would be extremely boring, mand have little to no incentive to keep playing
