FOr the last 3 weeks I started playing with more randomers from LFG sites which have not went flawless yet just for fun and challenge. I was expecting very bad players which are simply bad at pvp however to my suprise what I found was mostly a lot of average and above average players. I managed to get flawless to some but for some even the better ones it was impossible and here are the common mistakes why people have not reached flawless even when they are good at pvp that I experienced.
1. No call outs - People don't even call out and you either hear 'I killed one' or 'I died' You have to call out as you go.
2. Rushing. WHen you call out 1,2 or 3 players on left re group instead of trying to kill at least one of them in 70% of situations you will end up dying and they will just get the revive leaving you 2v3. THe maps are large.
3. Ego. When you get outnsiped 3 times in a row take your head out of your ass and avoid the same 1v1 sniping because in most cases it will end up being the same. I personally got called out on that myself a lot of times as well simply because I wanted to prove I was better sniper. FOr me it means nothing as I went flawless countless times but if you haven't and your team is counting on you, pull your head out of the ass.
4. Panic. when its 2v2 and your 1v1 instead of going for the revive all the time you need to look for the opponent if he is close simply finish him off. I can't count how many times my oppnent paniced in 1v1 and as he was running to get revive I just finished him off.
5. Supers. Panic supers are the worst simply because they are game chaning moves. You should try use 1 super per round to grant yourself orbs and win each round. YOu have to tell you fireteam that your using it this round so they can creat opening for you. E.g. when I know my teammate is going bladedancer I'l put preassure on enemies or go from the other side. THe amount of times supers just get wasted and when you call out to use it and people go 'I used it 2nd round' is amazing .. You need to know which supers and who currently has it avilable. Thats probably the most important point as supers make HUGE diffrence in ToO.
Some of them may apply to you. But those are the points I see which apply to pretty good players which are not flawless yet. ToO is a lot diffrent than normal crucible and even with the 1v1 pvp skill those 5 mistakes in my opinion will drag you down. However I do believe they do come with experience and its not something your going to be able to do straight away.
I managed to get flawless to a lot of people not simply by being insanly good and killing 2-3 enemies every round but by simply telling them those rules. I hope you will guys also find it usefull.

I completed (and went flawless) my first ToO today. And i agree with what you say. I did awful, was absolutely carried, BUT, i did a couple successful moves, and the guys i played with gave me no shit and were nothing but supportive. Good guys, good game, and was stoked to reach the lighthouse!
