What is the purpose of being the best

As the title says.

Have you ever played excavation/defense/capture/defection missions with randoms and met and obnixous Mesa/Saryn/Volt (with spin to win whip and always spamming speed) and getting the most kills but yet never actually doing the objective and always dying off screen and waiting for someone to revive them? 

Has this ever happened to you?

Were your left defending the objective while the children go get themselves killed and left wondering is this a survival mission or is this defend the objective

Why do new players believe having most kills and best dps means your doing most of the work is beyond me. These players never contribute but always die off screen and expect you to revive them when there 400m away. 

Where did this mindset come from I honestly want to know. This is why so many people don't play with randoms, we need to find the source of this corruption and purge before it gets worse. Or this mindset will be the new meta

I have the same issue as you against these kind of players, it nauseates me when i join a mission with one of the type thinking they are just too good for the team because they can press 4 to kill everything or spin their way around the map killing everything with a cheap gimmick even the Devs regret having made the mod that makes it a thing.

Because they want to kill stuff and not sit still playing tower defense but at the same time wants the loot from those boring game mode .

Fine its boring I understand that perfectly but don't drag the team down with your lone wolf fail. If your gonna do that at least do the objective so we can finish it faster

Can't control what people do.

If you join pubs, expect all kinds of people, even those who do not play your style.

That is why there is invite only and friends only. Also, there is recruit chat.

Most people come from competitive games where you have to be the last one standing or the one with the most "points". It takes them a while to get adjusted to the PvE mindset where team synergy makes a great match.

Very True, but when the objective dies mission either fails or Mission is extended being much longer than it needed to be in the first place. When this happens I shouldn't blame them for it?  As much as free will is a given I would rather some have a little common sense as well. But alas is one of the reason I play solo now

Why? I assume it's to feed their ego being the one with the most kill for that feeling as "the best" while hardly having common sense about doing the objective and end up being a dead weight

Or some people say, to stroke their e-peen

Public squads  have all kinds of players and that’s normal. If they are newer and working hard to kill as many as they can, that’s good for them to be the best of what they can be. 

There is no obligation one has to rush 400 meters to revive any downed players if its too far either.

There is different reasons to go pub :

- You need help because you cant do the mission solo.

- You can do solo but want more affinity or more enemies for more loot.

In the first situation you can be annoyed by your teamates gameplay but in the second this doesn't really matter.

 

I recently farm a lot of Plague Star with pubs.

Sometimes there are players MR2 that join or others that dont know what to do.

No big deal, i just do the mission by myself and if they can get some rewards easely it's cool for them.

New players do it because they are new and that’s understandable (to me), however players with more experience/higher MR should know better than leaving the objective.

So it’s not only new players that behave this way.

Nothing is wrong with helping new players. I do that often.

What I detest is players who claim to know what to do but don't do the objective ultimately drag the team down with them and mainly focus on killing and killing themselves.

I agree 100% there needs to be matchmaking based on mastery level so i dont need to play with obnoxious 15 and lower MRs.

Im not a fan of this. Im MR 27 myself but i prefer "lower" mr like mr 10+ for normal missions. They re going for the objective usually, no one is fishing , no one afk. They wont bring a limbo to survival, they try their best with options they have.
