game is just over a week old and as a new player all you do is get shit on by people who have leveled up and unlocked a bunch of shit .
very few people will stick around to just lose every game until they can finally level up and actually stand a chance. Needs better match making or something because it's getting old fast.

A LOT of the game is gamesense, sure you can tank a boss as some max level characters but you still need to know where the maps are, whether you should loot more, whether it's worth venturing off alone or staying with your team at that time, etc.
Take your time to learn the game. Don't worry about losses, you still get XP. If you're frustrated with the players you're playing against take a break and play a match against AI, you get XP from that too albeit reduced I believe.
Just mute everyone else. Thats what I do.
The first thing I do in any game with always-on voice chat is...turn off all voice chat.
Yeah, it probably causes me to be a lot worse at the game but frankly I just don't want to hear people chewing and I'm not interested in listening to their music the whole round.
Since I have to listen to locate chests, I'd like to be able to hear them.
I just don't understand why people think it's okay to turn on their mics with a super loud tv, background music or anything else. Like there are SO many instances in which this happens, like come on..."we are trying to hear the game here! I don't wanna listen to your fucking spotify 2022 biggest hits playlist!"
Console gamers ruined it for everyone, since there's no room on a gamepad for a push to talk.
The amount of players that have their microphone transmitting all their game sounds into my ear made me instantly realize this isn't a game where I'm going to be using the voice chat.
And to all the players wondering why no one responds or listens to all your great voice chat directions? It's because they turned it off, not because they aren't listening to you in particular.
I see people talking all the time, but there's zero chance I'm going to unmute just on the off chance they aren't screaming children.
I wouldn't blame that on console gamers, I'm one of them after all...but I would blame it on people that don't have common sense. I got your point though.
Until they add push to talk I'm doing that too. I'm sorry but too many people are blasting music or yelling at their kids while playing.
Every multiplayer game is like this. You can try and find some teammates here or on the discord. You can also play some versus AI to gain some experience and learn how to play alittle better as well. Of course people that have been playing since launch are gonna slap the new players around but its not impossible. If winning is the only way this game can be fun for you, you probably aren't going to be playing long anyway. There's no ranked, there's no reward, so just enjoy and try to learn along the way.
In short, don't take it to seriously
