The constant factor on these “terrible” teams is you bud. Think about that.
Like it or not, it's true. The best you can do it stay positive and stay
civil. Nothing wrong with literally asking out loud if anybody has a plan. 90% of the time you'll get the usual "Don't die!" and that means it's on you - call your targets. Don't
tell other people what to shoot because 1) you'll get upset when they don't listen, and 2) they won't listen. Calling your targets on a team like this just means saying what you're shooting at as you shoot it. It's minimal effort, it's neutral in tone, and it's clear and concise. Sometimes that's all it takes. You'll aim at Alpha, shoot Alpha, and then someone sees Alpha go down and thinks "Hey, this guy might know something..." Next time you call your target, you've got someone else joining you. And so on. Same with caps or whatever - don't tell people what to do (not in Quickplay at any rate), just tell them what
you're doing.
If you're experiencing stomps time and time again and the only common element is you, then it's up to you to adjust. Be vocal. Call out what you see - "Mist Lynx flanking to our right." It's not a bad habit anyway, others might see it works and pick up on it (and
maybe even start doing it themselves), and everyone is free to respond (or not) how they like. Then, as the tenth player on your team bites the dust and that one guy is going on about what went wrong, it's super clear that it was his attitude and not poor calling, silence, etc. It's not ideal and it doesn't address the matchmaker issues or whatever, but it's better than just feeling beaten down all the time. We've all been there and it sucks.
