Get rid of the poi drops

It's a horrible way to experience this game in ranked. This isn't ALGS give the freedom back to the players to land where they want. How you think this is a good idea.

  • Agreed. This is just the developer hand-holding children with terrible instincts so they don't hurt themselves. I say if they want to drop on streamer building in a ranked match then so be it. And it's not like it materially changes their behavior anyway. They often will drop into the POI adjacent to the one the game gave them - so desperate are they for an early game fight. And if they somehow manage to pull it off then they immediately run for the center of the map to find as many more pile ups as possible as quickly as possible. It's proof that you can't engineer player behavior.

  • Heck no! The POIs are so much better IMHO. No more hot dropping pub players. Go play pubs if you want to hot drop. If you want to solo queue ranked, POIs are the solution to better balance. 

  • I don‘t like the new drop ships either. I think they should have normal drop ships until you reach diamond or plat and then have the new drop ship system.

    Why? What is the sense in having lower level with freedom to drop anywhere and higher levels only using POIs?
