I think a lot of the older players have stopped playing because of a few reasons. Might be time available to play, might be reaction times not being what they once were, etc. For me, it is mostly lack of free time to play keeping me away as much as it does.

I have adjusted my play style to be more long range whenever possible. This gives me a bit of time to wound an opponent before they reach me as the rounds I have gotten into it seems up close weapons are preferred. Works for me, I am no good at that swift turning and such when fighting close - my fingers just don't work that fast to make it any kind of a viable defense/offense.

I know a lot of older players get mad over things said in voice chat while playing these games. I just don't turn it on myself since I rarely play duos or squads. When I do, if my partners are jerks, I just turn it off and depend on their play style to let me know if we are a team or we are just singles playing with at least one friendly fire person in the round.
