How can you make POI squished by enemy squads and call it ballanced and fair ? Hot droping with bunch of noobs was less random than this no dropship bs...
100% disagree.
Since this new system I rarely encounter noobs that throw the game or push 1 vs 3 from the drop / invade other team's drop area. Most people at least loot and try to stick together (except typical duo stacks that just run off 2v3 like it will play out better than 1v3 most of the time).
The only issue with this system currently is:
1. in lower ranked lobbies - most people are not able to indicate drop points where you actually need to loot and leave ASAP because all teams collapse to this spot making it "fragment" like = even if you win first 3v3 you will instantly get 3rded and 3rded after that if you win again somehow
2. in higher ranked lobbies - hackers. What you usually see is them Valk ulting on top of you or hard W into your area as soon as they see via wallhack that some of your teammates are a bit further apart = giving them easy entry frag aka multiple vs 1 or 2 situation and easy cleanup afterwards especially given they are using hacks, basically no sweat win.
Without hackers in higher ranked lobbies new system I would say is perfect = teams have to guess which move to make (defend or push into other POI), fights are frequent yet you have time to duke it out a bit before others come to the noise you are making, there are options to back off as well.
Yes some POI have better or worse loot, especially new Olympus near Elysium is just stacked (probably needs rework), but all in all you are talking about good loot vs great loot. Most of time time only thing missing from my team is additional purple perks for everyone, more often than not you get between 0 and 2 rarely 3 of them so everyone has some boost, but otherwise we always leave site very well stacked for the first fight - no more p2020 and mozams, limited ammo etc.
Actually in a way loot is for me as sweat even bit boosted, could use some cuts to motivate people to push into better loot positions / teams or duke it out e.g. some POI having good loot but no default team dropping there like it was say in Estates in Olympus = everyone knew loot there is great yet it is low ground and open so only crazy ones went there.
