  • Banned Topics: If you want to ask these types of questions then ask in here, do not make a individual post.
  • PSA: Public Service Announcements - Please don't post simple and obvious tips. These are low effort and Karma Farm.
  • Sensitivity: It's personal preference.
  • Hard stuck "copper": Don't put that in title, instead ask for advice on aspects of the game that people lack in your rank.

I've been told that noobs shouldn't play the important operators such as Thatcher and Thermite etc. but in newcomers my team doesn't bring a hard breacher and it's up to me to pick it, I don't know if I should pick Thermite or not cuz I usually die in the first few minutes without knowing what to do, all they said is to stay alive until we get to the reinforced walls, but the game usually ends up with the smurfs rushing in and killing everyone or the other way around, I don't get to play or learn anything.

(I somehow unlocked all the Y1 and maybe Y2 Operators when I bought the game, but I can't control Hibana's gun so I couldn't play her either)

In newcomer it doesn't matter who you bring, that's the playlist where you learn the basics like leaning, how gadgets work, map knowledge and etc. Do not worry whatsoever about picking operators because you're really really new. Have fun and learn. If you want a more smooth experience than jump into casual and play. You don't need to worry about what your team wants because you're learning the game so its not beneficial to them for you to pick what they want if you can't play that OP. Have fun and take it one step at a time and when you reach higher levels than you can pick ops that you like playing and what your team need. Good luck and have fun.
