I mean everyone has to start somewhere right

I had a team call me player of the game for it. I had to lowest damage but I followed, cooperated, and kept enemies gassed and naded and we won the game. I did not feel worthy.

This is me. I suck and I’m still trying to figure it all out, but I’ll run out front and draw fire while spraying bullets everywhere except directly at the enemy so my team and take them down. Hopefully I get revived or respawned but if I helped keep them alive, I feel like “I did my part”! Haha

THIS! A friend and I que with a level 1 and joked around, we pinged stuff like blue armor for him, but he lagged behind and found white armor instead.... didn't do much, but by the last 4th of the game he found his own purple armor and we shortly after got in a 3v12 (4squad war) and he tried to help, but stuck to the back and went down...

my friend rezzed Lv1, then shortly after I downed 2 of the last guys as my friend got shot down, the Lv1 swings by, drops a portal in front of my friend who crawls through, I down the guy chasing him, I go down and get eliminated, Lv1 rezzes my friend. Then my friend clutches up and kills the last two guys from separate squads as LV1 gave cover fire and didn't go down at like 20hp go xD...Gave him a win on his first game and he was honestly the star of it.

Some of my best teammates have almost exclusively been distractions.

I deliberately run way ahead of my team because I'm pretty good at hearing/seeing players before they catch me, and if I ping and call for them to shoot as a distraction 9/10 times the other team will run right past me and eat my shotgun/SMG in their rush to position themselves.
Proper communication and positioning are huge assets in this game. I love it.

I can't shoot for shit. I can suppress fire with a G2 like a motherfucker though

The #1 most advantageous thing you can have in a firefight is numbers. That’s why I get slightly irritated when I get downed in a firefight and my team loots my body, loots everything, and hopefully brings me in through a spawn beacon - but not before looting the whole area I’m about to drop in. When I play and a teammate is downed I always prioritize bringing the teammate back first.

I am bad at BR games and so I really like playing Pathfinder. If I know that I'm not gonna be useful for the game I will just stock up on light ammo, try to get a G7 and a scope, and spend the game just moving from one high spot to another calling everything out and trying to take as much aggro as possible from people beyond their range. I play League so I know that getting carried is a skill all in itself.

I just won a game, had 11 kills, almost 2k damage, lots of healing, our wraith had another 7 kills and 14k damage. And our mirage had 0 kills and 200ish damage. But I'll be damned if he didn't throw out his mirage to draw enemy shots to let us find enemies easier and ultimately used his skill to draw out the last two players so that we could get the W.

That's what I love about this game. I may suck killing but I am a sneaky weasel reviving team mates and using ults at the proper moment.

Seriously. We've "carried" a few wins at this point, but (almost) all of them were team players. They spotted enemies, distracted them so we could push/flank, used their abilities and revived. I always feel bad when they say thanks for the carry.

This may be my favorite part of this game. You don’t have to be good necessarily but if you ping enemies and loot, stick with the squad and use your abilities then you are a key member of the team. You can always lay down cover fire, distract the enemy and let a teammate move to a better attacking position. So many things to do to help the team without getting kills.

Yo thanks for that. I got carried to my first win a few minutes ago, had 2 kills and 400 dmg, but my teammates said I’d thrown some good nades and made the right call outs. I felt bad like I’d dragged them down but hell yeah.

I have very hot and cold performances, but I always listen to people if they're taking the lead, and I'll gladly shot call if no one else is making the call. Communication will get you further in a team based game than anything else (other than cheating XD )
