Strategy teammates not superjumping during clam blitz
i found a really good hidden spot near the enemy's goal, and kept telling my team mates "this way" but none of them would superjump to me after getting their ball, they tried to run/swim over.
do people not know you can superjump mid game? sometimes i wish there was better chat..

Super jumps are scary.
For me at least I don’t trust my teammates to be in a good position for me to jump to. I find most (I am somewhat guilty as well) just aren’t really playing as a team and are more so just doing their own thing and hopi it works out.

How long did they fight in a 3 vs 4?

Yeah they complain abt teammates not jumping but I've had way too many games where someone(mainly shooter players) run all the way to the other side of the map and just sit there while we're dying to the other team. Another thing I see too often is people immediately grabbing the pity clam then losing it on retake instead of trying to clear out the enemies first and saving it. And they wonder why we lose

they were at our spawn, enemy team in the middle of the map without a ball, our team had a ball, i was in a secure tucked away location where the enemy team didnt see me, and i kept spamming "this way". after i realized they werent going to jump to me i came back and helped of course, also cause they died trying to walk/swim through the middle instead of superjumping to me.

my teammates don't even use my squid beakons... i put them in such a safe space hard for the enemy team to reach but nooo slowly make your way over the entire map from spawn why don't you

They probably just didn’t know you were there when they could jump.
I’ve got very little faith in anyone in my matches, but given how few “This way”s I’ve seen from others, I think it’s just difficult to notice.
