Make POI dropszone past Plat

Make POI dropzone past Plat or else maximum of us won't get to experience it.

  • I am a solo queue player in ap southeast 1 server and have 4k+ hours in apex.
  • I struggle in plat ranks and spend most of my ranked hours on this rank.
  • The inting problem mostly prevails in silver/gold/plat lobbies so it would a big deal for me as a solo queue player if the POI dropzone was from Plat ranks.

Some of the ways drop zones help solo players are :

  • The team has a formation from the beginning. This reduces the chance of one of my teammates being in Narnia.
  • The frustration of dropping team goes away as 1 sole person is not responsible for dropping.
  • You don't have to run past 8 squads to revive your teammates.
  • It brings a mental order to the chaos of how the rotations are supposed to go.

  • kami3070​ fresh news and its being implemented from next week.

    • If your lobby has a minimum % threshold of Diamond+ players you will be playing Drop Zone
    • We will confirm the cut off percentage as the feature goes live
    • Players may experience a mixture of Dropship and Drop Zone matches, particularly for Platinum players or those squadding up with Diamond+ players, as we work out the thresholds

  • 💯

    Yeah, dropzones need to start at Platinum. That's where the point system starts to be a problem with hotdrops.

    If dropzones don't start at Platinum then this change will be meaningless for mid-tier players. 

    That's the happy medium devs, take it or leave it. We have our hand extended we're just waiting for yours. Deal???? 🤝
