Well, usually they won't have a chance to fire 3-4 alphas. These are generally very newer players (or maybe drunk, although alcohol is a performance-enhancing drug for me), and their main flaw is positioning. They're used to other games where you aren't obliged to stick with the team. You can perform a sniper sort of role by yourself, or a lone-dog behind enemy lines.
You can't do that in this game, not without being a veteran player with a good amount of skill. They'll end up being shot at by 10 mechs at a time, dying, and not knowing what happened. They literally do not understand that they just took an action that directly led to their death. Instead, they're likely to think that the game sucks, or that the enemy gear is OP.
And furthermore, there don't seem to be many players willing to help them out in solo queue! There are a few that will complain, say "omg my team" like they're tweens playing LoL or something.
Christ guys, you literally have no right to complain about poor teammates unless you're trying to help them in each game that they appear.
If they don't listen to you, you DO have a right to complain. Although, complaining is useless apart from perhaps making you feel a bit better in the short-term.
I understand it is difficult to care enough about normal solo queue games to teach, or even try to lead a team. I don't do it all the time. But I do it far more than other people...and I'd only have to do it 1/3 of the games I play to say that.
Help the pugs! Yes, ideally they should read the forums, ask for advice, and generally become acquainted with the game themselves.
But they probably won't! This is the age of games where you aren't forced to do that, and we can't do much about it.
We can't do much besides catalyzing the change we wish to see in players that play this game.
And that can yield forking amazing results...if people would do it!
