Actually, hot dropping IS the best strategy to play if you are at a bronze-to-gold level. Perhaps not necciserly SUPER HOT, but I would still say that always jumping with at least 1-2 other squads is the way to go: Why? Because if you play "strategically" and cheese your way to RP gain by jumping safe and hide most of the match, you will fall behind the skill curve so hard and rank up far above the rank that ACTUALLY fits your skill level.
Now someone will maybe say "but playing strategically is also skill"... Yes it is. But its an INTELLECTUAL skill which doesnt take that much practice. Sure, there are some players, even high elo, who just cant see how to circle to avoid choke points and bad positioning BUT for most, normal intelligence players, this is rather a mindset than a skill. But the skill of actually winning fights is 90% muscle memory and 10% intellectual. You just need the hours put into the game to increase those skills and its way better to do this continuously during your rank climb even if it will be a little slower.
Bascially; fighting your way through the ranks will make your skill match your current rank which is a good thing for you and your gaming experience in the long run.
"But the skill of actually winning fights is 90% muscle memory ..."
I know intellectually that what you are saying is true. The problem is that no matter how hard you grind to improve, there will still always be people who destroy you, causing you to question the true value of the effort you make, and there's the guarantee that sbmm will push you harder and harder until you finally hit the point where you are literally bleeding out your eyeballs and accomplishing nothing.
I understand why people want to improve at the game, but to me it really looks like, from an outcome standpoint, everything in this game is weighted against you for trying to get better. The better you get, the heavier the weight. Yes? No?
