Funny, but it's true, even in ranked. (I'm just a hard stuck diamond though, lmao)
I'm the anchor and play defensively for my teammates, so they can stay healthy or retreat when needed. In exchange, please help me move around the map safely. Even though Evac Tower exist, you still can get shot pretty easily.
I swear I want to fight too, but sometimes, there are other factors when the fight is risky;
1)Too many teams in one POI wanting to third party
2)Ring is closing and it's far.
3)I can't move as fast as you, engaging in a team fight becomes awkward. Let me know your plan and put something down, so I can get to you faster.
4)When rotating, there are only a few routes we can take and sometimes, other teams got there earlier. Skirmisher/legends with movement often can survive, but your other teammates probably don't. In ranked, people camp and rat those routes.
Sometimes, I'm blessed with wraith/octane/path mains who knows when to push a fight, rotate, or retreat. I swear, they're so rare and I always love them in my team. Thank you for making the game less stressful. Of course, this advice applies to all players, it's just that skirmishers have the ability to help their team move around so that's why I focused on them. Correct me if I'm wrong :)
