Drop zones in rakned removed is the worst change

They finally made a huge change where everyone gets a different zone so you have some time to loot in peace to prepare for the game and it was guaranteed to have a team in the nearby areas so you would be fighting not so long after looting with several teams as the ring was closing. The game finally felt balanced and the classic landing with many teams and being unlucky and losing -45pts because your teammate decided to land where everyone else is was finally gone. PLEASE PLEASE bring it back, who cares about landing in another prefered spot, it doesn't matter!! Usually normal average players don't care about where to land. What matters is to have a balanced nice long match.

    Lower viewership coincided with... what? Was it on the decline in the jump master seasons and started to tick up with ALGS style gameplay? I might have thought it could be simply a factor of the age of the game, but Overwatch and Fortnite are both older? I'm just trying to figure out if this is correlation or causation.

    "I'm sure people who enjoy watching their favorite pro streamers/content creators would consider more teams during endgame funnier to watch."

    That makes perfect sense. And while I'm not embarrassed to admit I'm more concerned with whether it's fun to play than whether it's fun to watch, I can still appreciate the difference between something that's entertaining and something that isn't. Or is less so. But also: if a final circle pile up is fun to watch, then wouldn't an early-game hot dropping pile up also be fun to watch? Even if there was no immediate victory to result? Or is it only fun if it produces a winner? Not trying to be obtuse. Just trying to understand the psychology of something I don't know much about.

    Yeah congratulations bro go play pubs then.

    I'm so sick of hearing this arguement, its literally the only arguement you can make for drop ship 

    If you solo queue and play with people without comms it makes it difficult to get anything done.

    no, it becomes a game where you can play it. So because it requires no skill the pro league uses zones instead of a drop ship? You can jump all you want to a zone, try and loot but your team can just push out and engage a fight without you. With zones, the first fight is more isolated, you can help your dumb, inting team and win the fight and not worry about 3 more teams diving on it. Zones spread the game, make you think about how to rotate and win. Now people just hot drop, get 4 kills and die before first ring and still get positive rp until diamond. Its lame, its bad for the game and reverting the zones is the single worst thing Apex has done since introducing 300 dollar cosmetic programs.

    Adults? Where zones too hard for you to rank up Sally? What fun is a battle royal where there's 7 squads left in ranked before the first ring? What a dumb take.

    I miss those early start 3v3 fights. For sure. 

    It took skill to finish the fight before the 3rd party arrives. The 30 second rule applies so much more with Dropzones. 

    When I'm really locked in with like-minded players we understand to finish team fights in less than 30s, 45s at the most. Otherwise, you'll most likely get pinched. Finishing a fight quick to prepare for the 3rd party is an adrenaline rush. 

    Dropzones help create team chemistry and momentum to start the game. Hopefully with the hybrid ranked system Dropzones can start at Platinum, at least P3.
