As a new player entering OPR for the first time, the experience is incredibly overwhelming. Things happen so rapidly, you don’t know that you can ignore majority of the features a map has (a flaw), and what the winning Strat is.
All of that is fine - players will learn!
BUT one thing that would help is if a player could easily stay with the core group. Currently, once you get separated from the pack, there isn’t a great way to know where to go after (can’t always assume group members are part of the major pushes, and also sometimes players aren’t put in a group).
