Loot is rigged on drop
Ever noticed you more than often get not just one but two P2020 right after drop? Maybe a mosambique or two? Ever tried to drop the P2020 then to walk to the next bin to find another, drop that and...
Loot is generated at the start of the match. It does not change! The bad weapons are more common because of LUCK. That's right! LUCK! It gives bad players a chance to beat good players. Luck is what keeps bad players coming back. Game developers know this. They want you to every once and a while get a peacekeeper off jump and be fighting guys with P2020's. Most people are just hoping to get lucky. They don't bother to understand the following at a deeper level.
With that said. FINDING LOOT/WEAPON IS A SKILL! Good players know how to find good loot!
For example: Icarus on Olympus there are weapon racks there. Always a few good weapons. Saved me a ton of times from bad luck.
There are even spots with guaranteed PURPLE/LEGENDARY 100% of the time.
Bad players just don't pay attention or bother to actually learn the maps inside and out. I can find anything I want.
Dropping contested or hot, leaves everything to chance. Can't complain if you're doing that. If they were to remove all the trash weapons. Bad/clueless players would never log in again because they would get destroyed.
SIMPLE. LOGIC is EZ.
As others have suggested: stop the hot dropping. I know it makes people feel all manly during that one-in-thirty drop where you get a good gun and enough ammo to wipe two squads immediately. But is that really such a big deal? I'm sure this is just me, but when I'm forced to hot drop and manage to get a kill or two out of it... it doesn't make me feel good. It's just luck, and I have a lot more fun in this game when I'm minimizing the role that luck plays rather than depending on it. Because mostly when you depend on luck for a good outcome you're gonna be disappointed.
