If you play to improve your aim and positioning a battle royal isn't the best type of shooter to do it in.
The best people playing apex legends now got their aim, movement and awareness from other more action packed games.
Even if you only drop skull town its not nearly as effective as the training they had playing those games.
Also dropping the hot drops its more about being lucky and getting armor and good weps over actual skill.
every player with a decent shot can kill a unarmed guy without that has no armor.
And being lucky and punching a noob to death that had a wep and a armor isn't any form of training either.
If you want to practice actual good shooting.
Get to places where less people drop. ( Less is not nobody ) ( Wetlands, cascades, dumps are good places )
Also try to drop places the plane is passing if you want a little action.
And when you have armor and a weapon go chase all the gunfire sounds you hear in the distance.
Don't wait untill you have purple armor and your faforite weapon fully kitted with purple attachments.
White armor and a alternator is good enough to third party someone.
Overall you get to shoot less then skull town.
But the shooting this way has so much more quality and gives you much more required experience then dying 4 times over in skull town walking into someone with a peacekeeper or R99.
There is way more content in this game then dropping skull town and battle it out with 6 other squads and Dropping swamps and loot for 15 min without seeing anyone.
Even for distant targets, many people drop too early.
If the target is even remotely close to the flight path, you should be dropping at no less than 45 degrees from the horizon. (thus attaining the maximum flight velocity over the shortest distance.)
The only time a shallow drop followed by dolphin flight is correct, is for targets far from the dropship flight path.
The increased dropship speed has only exaggerated this fact.
Haha I love how this thread started as a complaint about people who drop to early to get into early fights in hot zones near the start of the dropships flight path, to how to drop more effectively.
