@BETELX6 I've slaughtered Catalysts after pushing through their wall. It's not a punish. It's blinding, as I only have my cursor, but it's doable.
The last 4 games I played there were no more than 5 ring consoles on Storm point. One central, the only one available most of the time. One NW. One SW. One NE. One SE. Like an X. And of course you have the last 5 teams sitting on it and the other 2-3 locales in the rings. Can't use the beacon because other teams control the area by the time you get there. The hot droppers. I never hotdrop. Hotdrop guarantees my squad among the dead before the first ring moves. Just like the other 2/3ds of the squads.
Seriously. There's only 15 people left by the time the first ring closes, all because everyone lands in the same 3 spots.
Hence I edge drop most of the time.
Hence I have to run from the ring if RNG failed me. One time I landed on crashed ship, and sat on crashed ship, I was NewCastle. We held them off and I got krabered in the face and revived, and the final squad couldn't get up to us. They got crispied by final ring, we won. That one was actually funny.
Another was broken moon a long long time ago. We landed at backup atmo. Final ring closed on that town right beside it. The other 4 squads got stuck in the C on the other side of the mountain. We thought we'd have someone to shoot. Nope, the last 4 squads got crispied. Went from 5 squads left to champions roughly 20-30 seconds after that ring started closing. We were a full premade I think. I was Rampart that time. Had a full setup, couldn't even use it. The one time I actually had plenty of time to setup. That was around Season 14/15. A started in the last two weeks of season 14, Vantage's launch season.
