The meta AR fireteam was intentional, but it's breaking down. Those same players have developed bad habits, lost 1v1 and 1v2 engagement skills, and can be two dimensional/predictable. Depends on the team. If you ever record matches, compare old with new. A lot of old fundamentals are ignored = fertile ground. When these players are left alone on a limb or as a pair they're easy prey. You can still break down 2s and 3s , it just takes more planning and ability to step on/off the aggression gas, etc. Different ways to open matches, setting tone and instantly fragmenting a team of 3 for example, can be highly effective. Make them play on your terms.
Great news .....the end of month sandbox will give you even more opportunity to combat this sort. You're correct, it won't be going away, but you're about to be provided even more leverage.
Happy hunting.

This is very true. I started using Crimil's Dagger and getting isos on auto users by peeking just enough for a "1v1." Amazing how many players will just stand there and prefire, not realizing they're getting out damaged more than 3:1. Players are adapting as you said though and are getting more aggressive, which is good, just makes my playstyle tougher (I'm not that good).

Use their aggression in your favor. Indiscriminate hard chargers can be a gold mine . Yeah, what you're describing is typical potato like behavior that can be outplayed.
