You then walk straight into that same spot, and the guy with camo fuelrod kills you. This is not being spawn killed. This is you pushing forward to an area that you just saw a fuel rod kill your teammate. Camo fuel rod is a pretty good combo, and he may have found you anyway, but after what you saw, you probably should have backed up deeper into bubble, and your teammate coming out of blue might have helped you.

But actually you sprint at him, no gun drawn, he shoots you, you jump into attic, and get killed. This is as close to getting spawn killed as I have seen so far, but again you sprinted directly at the guy without looking at him, and with no gun drawn you obviously lost the fight.

Most of this is you using sprint directly off spawn towards enemies, or towards places when you don’t know if there is an enemy. Off the very start you actually sprint all the way to their bubble, then immediately start sprinting back to your base, and get spartan charged in the back. There were enemies all around, but you sprinted from one side of the map and then back, without looking towards power weapons top mid, or towards power up in pink side (which contributed to camo fuel guy killing you on your next spawn).

You’re welcome. But honestly, I think if you changed your attitude your game would change for the better immediately. For one thing, you should have been with your teammates before their tag turned yellow. And in general, it would be better if you stopped thinking of your teammates as ‘randoms’. They may have played poorly but you didn’t really help. Again, off spawn, you sprinted into the opposing team’s bubble. For what? You achieved nothing. You didn’t contest either of the power ups/weapons on the map - you didn’t even look towards them (they’re basically on the opposite side from where you went). Nor did you claim and hold a good position, like top mid or pink 2 (from both of these areas you could have seen your teammates and helped without the time needed to sprint all the way back to base).
The radar works fine, and is extremely useful, and again its your attitude about its supposed uselessness that is holding you back. For a start, I was talking about using your radar to see where all of your teammates are.- it shows you. Use that to see where you can push, and where you should be heading to help, rather than sprinting in a random direction. And when you spawn, look at it and think about where you spawned. Ask yourself - ‘if I spawned here, and my teammates are there, where would the opposing team be?’ The answer might sometimes be - probably in our bubble, and top mid, and about to look at me off spawn - and you will know to be careful.
In general, stay away from the echo chamber of this forum that keeps telling you that the only reason you are not doing well is because “the ranking system sucks”, “teammates are bad”, “radar is useless”, “maps are spawn traps”., “people are sweaty”, “its impossible to beat X weapon”, “the aiming is broken” etc. If you drop this attitude and ask 'what did I do wrong?, you will start improving straight away.
