Well, in addition to forced by S13 ranked policy "position play"(a.k.a. ratting and camping mostly) and diminished ring-free time(earlier shrink/more damage) the problem is definetly exists.

I see what you mean and occasionally one may have the per se best position and at the same time worst because they are surrounded by teams and all the teams focus them for some reason.
Yup there really is no escaping that. But really how often does that happen, in the past and now. for me in the past maybe once or twice currently in the new season not yet.
The OP suggests that this is happening repeatedly to them. All I can say to that, is game sense and positioning is king and knowing when to retreat instead of stay for a losing fight is the thing to do and that is, in truth, generally the case, yes there are outliers and situations that are non escapable and beyond planning but that is not the majority of cases.
I almost never have been pinned down without the possibility of being able to escape and reposition.
Thanks for your reply.

I agree that there are a mass load of snipers right now compared to last season, @chiefthunderball is correct about that. It is not easy to deal with.
I disagree that it is so bad that one constantly finds oneself surrounded and sniped in a 3v15.
Maybe the degree or severity of the situation the OP is stating is somewhat lobby type driven and or even playstyles from server to server and region driven along with time of day/night. IDK it just seems to be not all that bad at all for me as of yet. German servers, late evenings/night time and Gold lobbies.
Thanks for your response, I value it, especially since I do know you do not post that often.

Hey there Chief, no need to be jumping on me like that. I agree that Snipers are currently more prevalent and are a pain in the neck, but that should settle down in the next few weeks.
I was just saying that if you are getting sniped from 5 directions it might be your play style if it is constantly happening. This is not what is happening to me and that is all I could conclude based off of what you described.
I never said or implied that you should never engage a fight or team and camp and run till final ring. I did say that not every team is worth pushing and I will stand by that. The point is to win the game not come up as first loser.
Mid to long range weapons have been here all along and I do like to Poke and Push, R-301, Hemi, or G7 is great for the Poke and for the Push R-99, Car or any other SMG works well in combination with Movement Legends to close the gap quickly, Pathy, Octane or Valk.
Yes we play very different games and have different styles, I am however not the camper you think me to be.
Either way as of last night I am sitting at a 6.5% win rate on the season so I must be doing something right.
Happy Hunting and many wins and kills for you.

Lets just hope this will change later...
I think they seem pretty convinced that they want this META like this now when I tried to play for a bit yesterday.
The ammount of pre-mades is over the roof nowadays so they probably wanted something for them.
I mean this game is overally more suited for pre-made teams anyway if they play in same lobbies as solos and this is going to cost them a lot of solo players without gamer friends when Warzone 2 releases.
They made it clear in S13, this is team-based game and if you dont have a team its bad for you I guess.
This META is pretty toxic not gonna lie. Already got oneshotted by pre-made team Snipers mark + Longbow and got solo killed by Snipers mark only because it deals damage of charged Sentinel in following shots.
Snipers mark in pre-made team hands is game-breaking. There is trully no place for casual solo player in this game anymore.
I dont know, just play Trios if you cant stand this, it wont change anytime soon, think it may get even worse because this is team-based game and you dont have what this game is based on so I think it can get pretty hard for you.
