Force Break Off

I've been talking about this with friends for about a year now, and I'm finally sharing it. I'm not sure if anyone else has had the same thought, but I desperately want an Eject button. It would basi...

@JimPinnuchi This idea would actually be perfect for the jumpmaster, but.. now players may land 100 metres from one another and get frustrated af when they die and no one is around to help them.

@MoNosDirtyGaming They have all the power in the world to manually break off before landing, but there are imbeciles who stick with you all the way down before swiping anything and EVERYTHING in their way even of they don't need it before running off into the sunset leaving you defenceless against whoever you come across.

So yeah, having a detach option when a couple hundred metres from the ground would be really handy for people like me who find themselves jumpmaster every damn match even if they're first pick

  @Pretzelnutcake Thats why jumping solo was invented bro, and trust me i know, nearly 8k games played currently.

    @MoNosDirtyGaming Jumpmaster can't jump solo, and if someone still does that this far into the game then they're not worth playing with. I'm the only one who seems to manually pick my character when in lobby so I always end up as jumpmaster and land wherever I want, usually the scumbags solo drop but sometimes they aren't even invested enough to do that which is when the ability to shake them off without the need of a balloon or something would come in handy

Just to clarify, of course teammates can still break off of the jumpmaster at any time. The Eject ability however would only be available to use by the jumpmaster after X amount of time since dropping or X meters off the ground (closer to landing). The point of that is so that if you do get teammates that are choosing to stay by you, you can't eject them immediately off the ship and leave them stranded if they were willing to work as a team with you. It's more to create a small cushion so they don't land directly on top of you if they haven't broken off themselves close to landing. I'm not saying the Jumpmaster gets a solo drop option. Just a little nudge away for a better landing. Thanks for your input.
