Why I don't play anymore despite liking it (newbie)

[DUmb]

Being matched up against and with 300lvl players is a pain for guys like me who bought the game few months ago during free week. I can't do ♥♥♥♥ because my allies are doing it much much faster, and when I don't perform like a high level player would (duh, I'm learning the game and also sometimes want to try things) I get criticized on vocal for the dumbest ♥♥♥♥.

This is the reason number 1 that I don't play this game anymore despite having enjoyed it very much during free week and a bit later (when new player retention was still good). At that time there were so many newbies you could do stupid ♥♥♥♥, get punished for it or not, but not feel out of place. And high level players were also more patient since they knew that if someone did stupid it was certainly a newbie.

Now I just can't enjoy it, just like I could not enjoy playing a basketball match with guys who play basket every day. High level players came back naturally to their default playstyle and expect their teammates to perform at their level. No offense to high level players, I'm also a high level player on some other games and I know the feeling when you want quality high level play. You and I understand we both don't want to play together (most of the time) :p

People around here seem to think queue time is long, but I find it ok. In fact, I would not mind waiting multiple minutes if it garantees me a match with players in my level range, especially if players are by default matched again against each other in following games. That way, I could wait (hopefuly) 5 or 6 minutes to get a fair game and then play a bunch more with the same guys.

Just my take on the matter. Maybe I'm just the only one having this single complaint. Have a nice day ;)

Have you tried playing solo? It's not so bad yes level 300 players will rock face but you don't always get matched with them. I recommend you try solo would be a shame to lose another player.

Yes I play sometimes solo, at least there is no judgement there :p. But it's not exactly the same without some coop action. My "kink" is playing Ace in a recon/watcher playstyle with the recon drone. In solo, there is much less strategy about engagements, you either kill someone or get killed and it's mostly about being the first to spot the other. While I had very very good action some times in coop mode, where I was able to help and save my two partners in very Hollywoodian fashion.

Trying this playstyle in solo means I almost don't play the objectives (Ace in close combat is not a good idea) and I have to rely on finding a good spot and highjacking the enemy's efforts. I managed one time to win a game like that (killing some enemies during phase 1, then stealing the package right at the end), but it makes games quite long and I think quite cancerous to other players. I tried playing other characters in solo too, but overall it feels too much like you're just walking around collecting stuff aimlessly, coop is definitely the main strength of the game.
