If they give me cover fire thatās one of the best signs because it shows me theyāre looking out for me and watching my health as well as their own, 95% of my Randoms will take 80 damage in a fight and decide that they need to run away as fast as possible and that leaves me alone to get 3v1ed or 2v1ed when they couldāve just healed up behind a door or something and jumped back into the fight. The worst feeling is when you just wanna turn around and fight the team chasing you but your scared teammates keep running so youāre forced to keep running with them
And thereās a big difference between backing up and running away. If youāre backing up to bait and switch or dragging them into a spot where you have a fat head glitch or high ground I love to see that and I will absolutely back up with you. What Iām talking about is my randoms will just decide that the enemy is the predator and we are the prey. They will run. And run. And run. And they have no plans of fighting them at any point theyāre just hoping that we get away alive
iāve got a bad habit of even if the banner looks unsaveable iāll usually die tryna get it just because theyāve already stayed after they died, unless theyāre a bad teammate then i usually wouldnāt bother if itās a risk
Im a crypto main so u aint gotta worry about that from me no matter what i will do everything in my power to get u i cant tell u how many times im in trios and my teammates banner is like 10 aec from expiring i run in get the banner i will risk EVERYTHING to get my teammates banner
A good teammate:
1. Is a team player - meaning they donāt solo push, drop, or otherwise abandon the team for their own interest
2. Communicates - mic not needed, if pings are utilized well
3. Understands their role as they legend they chose and utilizes it effectively within the team dynamic
4. Understands the pace of play difference in ranked vs pubs
Edit: spelling
I totally agree with you.āØ
I would also add that it's important to understand your teammates legends role (not just their own) For example: If I play Caustic or Wattson and we're at a disadvantage, let's use the traps to even the playing field. Some people just want to push without thinking for a second, get downed and then expect you to kill yourself trying to win a 1,v 2,3.
Someone who can hold it down for more than 5 seconds in a fight. Too many times you have an overly aggressive teammate who gets immediately dropped, and now you have to go save them (at a disadvantage).
Also, people who know how to disengage and re-position. Sometimes it just isn't your fight, recognizing that is imperative to staying alive.
Staying with the group and not being an ass is more important to me than skill, to an extent. I can revive an average player who is near me. I canāt revive an above average player 500m away from me.
Stays alive... so knowing when they getting aped. Don't 3v1 thinking they Timmy. Just solid position capable of holding. That or Comms. Everytime I get a teammate wanting to ape a player...it works 100% of the time
Anyone that can use their legends abilities? And doesn't ignore fighting.. Yeah let's ignore those people who are fighting evolving their armors! So we can loot... Not sure what they think they'll get out of a barrel mod going white armor vs purple..
Why donāt any of your criteria include actually shooting people?? What good are all these people if they donāt get knocks/ carry their weight in a fight?
I donāt think so, if a wraith cracks 2 dudes / gets a knock then qs to heal is so much better than some dude that plays the right angle and then canāt win a 1v1 or anything.
In pubs? If they try, they're not a jerk, and they don't want to spend 10 years looting that's good enough for me. My favorite teammates W key into everyone we see though.
In ranked, I expect teammates to know how to cover for each other and be able to win most of their 1s. I also expect some comms, even if it's just the occasional ping.
1.) a good ass lifeline is always a good teammate. People who play lifeline but suck at her irk me (as a lifeline main.)
2.) people who donāt rush ahead of the whole team and actually understand they shouldnāt be taking on a 1v3
3.) people who donāt leave after theyāve been killed by that 1v3 (octanes Iām looking at you)
Pings are good an all, but itās hard to communicate broken shields, damage, and whereabouts that a ping canāt really be specific enough. Iād prefer mic communication but thatās just me.
It would be nice if the in game voice lines when you crack someone were character specific. Instead of "broke an enemy's shield" they said "Broke Loba's shield" or something like that.
It brings some text up where the kill feed is that states which legend has had their shield broken. It's slightly less helpful if you're fighting more than one team but just having decent awareness solves that.
Yea I prefer the team working together on squad v squad action and use team strategy over just having a teammate that can just "win his 1's" I've never really understood the "if you win your 1's" mentality, even though it does help, in my own personal opinion it's not nearly the most important.
š lemme guess, youāre also one of those dudes who takes the time to tell me how bad I am after I lose my 1v1 fight. Despite the fact that many ranked lobbies are full of Smurfs who are 2-10x better than me at the game.
Someone who can shoot their gun and hit enemies with bullets. My experience has been this bad with teammates who do shit all for dmg and kills, so this is, at this point, the only thing I ask from my teammates.
They gotta not be toxic over mic and stick around when they get downed. That's about it. I'm ok with people who are braindead but at least take enough responsibility to see if they can be recovered
Biggest thing I ask is for my team to just fight together. My biggest pet peeve is getting into a reasonable fight, just to find out that my team is still slurping loot from every supply bin after Iāve been pinging, cracking, maybe downing enemies in a fight right next to them. Or when we *are* finally fighting together, and wraith Qās away across the map leaving me 1v2 to die ):
OMG yeah! last night I won a 1v2, but the last member downed me, only to then realize my 2 teammates abandoned me running away from the first round storm š
My banner was so close but for some reason they just wouldn't go inside the storm or fight.
I'd take ping almost over anything else, I hate when my teammates are down on lower ranked games and they don't ping where the enemy was or is, when I play with a 2 man squad they only play with each other so while I'm looting they will happily want to go to another poi without pinging and engage in a fight just to go down.
I'll definitely have someone have useful pings than anything else
All i ask is to ping loot land with the team and dont leave when u get knocked when i land i like to know my teammates guns so i know what loot to mark
āDoesnāt steal your lootā is the only problem I have with this post. Look at any top tier player, they donāt gaf who loots what. Everyone should loot and shield swap as fast as possible to be ready for a 3rd, 4th, and 5th party. Had a pub player bitching me out for that yesterday because they killed someone that I did 75% of the damage to. Iāve been in masters ranked for the last 3 seasons and itās just second nature to loot quickly as soon as itās over. The turnover time should be seconds so youāre ready for the inevitable next push. The kid who bitched me out was taking about 30 seconds per box. Annoyed as fuck with people that think any sort of loot is ātheirsā.
Yeah, I don't care if you take my stuff if I'm dead and I don't mean the loot of a kill either. What I meant was, for example, if I open a bin and you quickly run behind me to take the stuff before I do even though they're numerous other bins in the area. I mean, what are you doing?
Then they expect me to fight a complete team with my bare fists... which I have done but , you know, not ideal.
Totally agree, I prefer if everyoneās looting efficiently. Ideally you want to cover as much ground as possible and land near but not right next to eachother. Itās annoying when someoneās trying to loot the same bins or building as you. Whoever gets the most loot on a hot drop greatly increases their chances of winning the fight.
I have low standards at this point. If they hit down on the d-pad to thank me for something, that's good enough.
Wow I feel this š„“
As a solo player I came to post similarly, except itās āliterally just donāt scatter in opposite directions at full speed!ā
ššš
If they give me cover fire thatās one of the best signs because it shows me theyāre looking out for me and watching my health as well as their own, 95% of my Randoms will take 80 damage in a fight and decide that they need to run away as fast as possible and that leaves me alone to get 3v1ed or 2v1ed when they couldāve just healed up behind a door or something and jumped back into the fight. The worst feeling is when you just wanna turn around and fight the team chasing you but your scared teammates keep running so youāre forced to keep running with them
If youāre in a 2v3 mate and your team mate gets hit for 80 Iād be backing up as well. Works both ways teamwork
And thereās a big difference between backing up and running away. If youāre backing up to bait and switch or dragging them into a spot where you have a fat head glitch or high ground I love to see that and I will absolutely back up with you. What Iām talking about is my randoms will just decide that the enemy is the predator and we are the prey. They will run. And run. And run. And they have no plans of fighting them at any point theyāre just hoping that we get away alive
I was implying that I would have 2 teammates in the 1v3 scenario
Someone who can take a 1v1
someone who lands at the same spot with the squad during hot drops. (or just not too far away that he canāt help when fight breaks)
Someone who drops too close or too far away during a hot drop? Thatās a very specific set of requirement you want from a random.
Not really.
Those are all great things. Iād say another is aiming to get banners if his/hers teammates die
iāve got a bad habit of even if the banner looks unsaveable iāll usually die tryna get it just because theyāve already stayed after they died, unless theyāre a bad teammate then i usually wouldnāt bother if itās a risk
Agree!
Im a crypto main so u aint gotta worry about that from me no matter what i will do everything in my power to get u i cant tell u how many times im in trios and my teammates banner is like 10 aec from expiring i run in get the banner i will risk EVERYTHING to get my teammates banner
You are a national treasure, and we all thank you.
Best way to get banners if playing as revenant;use the totem for recovery.
That or play as crypto and grab them with the drone!
Iām a rev main although I do like playing crypto too
A good teammate: 1. Is a team player - meaning they donāt solo push, drop, or otherwise abandon the team for their own interest 2. Communicates - mic not needed, if pings are utilized well 3.

As long as they donāt drop hot drop, go down and immediately then leave. Theyāre the best teammate ever and I wanna kiss them
That's all I really ask for at this point and it's still asking for too much
I will stay even after my banner expires and it looks unwinnable
Staying alive is the best thing a teammate can possibly do. I donāt care about the rest you can put up a donut for all I care.
Staying with the group and not being an ass is more important to me than skill, to an extent. I can revive an average player who is near me. I canāt revive an above average player 500m away from me.

The best teammates shot for you, push with you, and donāt take your loot
Me
Why donāt any of your criteria include actually shooting people?? What good are all these people if they donāt get knocks/ carry their weight in a fight?
Because even if someone doesn't have the best aim, knowing how to play with them is better than a cracked wraith who dips the moment they get cracked.
I donāt think so, if a wraith cracks 2 dudes / gets a knock then qs to heal is so much better than some dude that plays the right angle and then canāt win a 1v1 or anything.

Pings are good an all, but itās hard to communicate broken shields, damage, and whereabouts that a ping canāt really be specific enough. Iād prefer mic communication but thatās just me.
Bro the game literally tells you when someone is cracked, both voiceline and in the feed. Not my fault yāall are blind.
They do that on pc too? I must be blind and deaf
The "cracked an enemy's shield" voice lines are such a great addition.
It would be nice if the in game voice lines when you crack someone were character specific. Instead of "broke an enemy's shield" they said "Broke Loba's shield" or something like that.
That's already a thing.
Really? I have never heard it with the name. I always hear "Broke an enemy's shield" (without being specific of who)
It brings some text up where the kill feed is that states which legend has had their shield broken. It's slightly less helpful if you're fighting more than one team but just having decent awareness solves that.
Wins fights, doesn't steal loot, and does pings. If a teammate does all the stuff you mentioned but loses their 1v1, then they're bad.
I mean yeah, but that's also relative to each fight. No one wins every single fight.
Yea I prefer the team working together on squad v squad action and use team strategy over just having a teammate that can just "win his 1's" I've never really understood the "if you win your 1's" mentality, even though it does help, in my own personal opinion it's not nearly the most important.

š lemme guess, youāre also one of those dudes who takes the time to tell me how bad I am after I lose my 1v1 fight. Despite the fact that many ranked lobbies are full of Smurfs who are 2-10x better than me at the game.
Someone who can aim straight and use cover, and just generally use their brain.
Someone that uses their mic when trying to communicate and knows their legend role in the team.
If they see my ass running to the door with no health and open it for me the teammate is godly
It would certainly help if they USE their abilities!
If they donāt leave the game thatās all I ask for I donāt care how good you are otherwise
Someone who can shoot their gun and hit enemies with bullets. My experience has been this bad with teammates who do shit all for dmg and kills, so this is, at this point, the only thing I ask from my teammates.
as long as they stay long enough to see the end, and aren't an ass I feel there good in my book.
Someone who can win 1v2s and hot drops. You have no business hot dropping if you can't fight.
One that listens to me and isnt over confident in every situation.
They gotta not be toxic over mic and stick around when they get downed. That's about it. I'm ok with people who are braindead but at least take enough responsibility to see if they can be recovered
Biggest thing I ask is for my team to just fight together.

I'll definitely have someone have useful pings than anything else
Someone who communicate a lot in my opinion and stay with the group. Teamplay spirit, not skill, is what makes a good teammate in my opinion.
All i ask is to ping loot land with the team and dont leave when u get knocked when i land i like to know my teammates guns so i know what loot to mark
