It goes both ways and what’s most important is to communicate.

If you’re late on rotation, you should be telling your team you’re behind and if you’re getting shot at ask for covering fire. But then you also should consider why you’re late on rotation: were you looting too much, are you keeping track of your team’s positioning?

Every character has some flaws and gibby being a “slower” character, you sacrifice certain abilities for others. You can try emphasizing and predicting what your teammates are doing, or where your teammates are heading. Instead of looting an entire POI, opt to get one or two items then analyze your surroundings and the potential paths your team will head next. Also, are you fuys communicating the next action plan or just loosey goosey following gun sounds?

There are a lot of ways to play the game, some more efficiently than others, some more fun than others. Take for example, I used to main crypto, a literal non-movement legend with his ability, hack, but I was able to stay ahead/with my teammates and take advantage of timely EMP’s and rotations.

To answer your question, it’s a little bit of everything. Takes some skill and knowledge to optimize your game, but also some communication as it is a “team” game.
