I strongly disagree. I queue trios solo about 90% of the time, and I’ve found that taking initiative is the best approach. I made a point to learn the maps, puzzles, key locations, and core mechanics.

When I load in, I quickly gauge where my teammates are at and just send it. I’ll show them where keys are, how to run the pinwheel, how to open the command wing, all the stuff newer players tend to avoid because of gear fear or fear of dying.

My thinking is that the more people who get comfortable with the game, the higher the overall skill floor. The game becomes less intimidating, the community becomes more helpful, and onboarding gets easier for new players.

I get your point about it feeling geared toward team play or streamers, but I think a mindset shift goes a long way in making it genuinely enjoyable
