Please bring back Drop Zones to Ranked.

Ranked felt so much better with drop zones. Now it's so chance based that it feels pointless to play ranked. If I didn't want drop zones, I would've just played Unranked. Without drop zones, I can also go a long time without seeing anyone, making the game more boring. I'd much prefer matches with a small amount of structure. 

You said in the patch notes that plenty of people found success with this; players that prefer to rush other players at the beginning can still choose to invade other drop zones. I understand that there is no choice on where to land, but if all drop zones are balanced, this wouldn't be an issue.

  • i couldnt agree more. i just played a few ranked games and i found it so hard to set up for anything in the match. everyone drops in pretty much 2-3 main locations and everyone dies instantly. i honestly think without drop zones it ruins the rank system.

  • At high rank the dropship change has been terrible after just a few games.  5 squads left at round 1 closing.  Just awful to play.

    I agree, I've been playing this game off and on since 2020 and I've appreciated most of the changes as they came. Reverting back to dropship in Ranked instead of drop zones gives us the same problem we just got away from. People die almost instantly. Two minutes into the game, there are 10 teams left. Additionally your teammates don't always commit to the drop if too many people are there. And nobody wants to be jump master!
