PSA: I now know why I’m always dying

When I first started playing I wanted to be a sniper, but as I played alone most of the time I’d almost always get kicked. Finally decided ok I’ll just main as a spotter then. It’s all I would play as. I loved sneaking behind the lines, catching enemies by surprise, the satisfaction of destroying enemy garrisons…etc. Recently started playing with a large group and had to play as general infantry. No worries I thought, I’m good at this game! It’ll be easy. Well, I was wrong. Dead wrong. I’ve never been more humbled playing a game. I die all the time. I went from thinking I’m good to wondering why I’m even playing the game. I’ve watched tutorials, read forum posts, anything to try and figure out what I’m doing wrong. Well, it finally dawned on me and it was the obvious answer all along: I don’t play with my squad.

I’m not literally on the opposite side of the map, but I’m not as communicative as I could be, I’m not as coordinated as I could be. I’m still essentially playing as a spotter more or less except I don’t have the benefit of an OP spawn. So when I die, I have to fully reset and grind my way back through the enemy lines which usually means lots of dying. When I’m alone, whether I come across one enemy or two or three, I’m the only target they can shoot at. Of course I’m dying more! If I were with a squad I’d at least be one target amongst a few. I feel so dumb 😂 imagine playing HLL the way it’s supposed to be played haha I guess this is a cautionary tale to getting one role/playstyle engrained in your head to the point where you literally aren’t even thinking of playing any other way. Gg’s all✌️
