Honestly the amount of people that just doesn't understand how to do it properly is incredible. I keep getting guys that drop too early or too late, or try to go to a very far location impossible to reach. I know this sounds very obvious but seriously, looks like the average player of Apex just can't get it. Putting a some kind of tutorial in the game would be great, even if it's only a on-screen text.
I always thought the JM was random. But it's not.
When you're last in selection list, you have the JM badge, but you're not guaranteed to be JM. It's seemingly random.
However I was in a duo and for 12 games in a row I was the JM. Nothing random about that. If random, it's both 😇 a statistical impossibility, and (b) an indication that Respawns method for seeding the random number generator is flawed.
@DarthValtrexRandoms more often than not pass it to me and in those cases I feel compelled to drop hot. :P
@Aegis_KleaisIf you are last in selection and choose your legend then you'll be JM but if you let it select automatically then it will go to someone else but I agree something is flawed as I can be JM all night.
As far as I know if no one picks a legend and all went automaticaly then it's still the last one in the list, and it's not random.
The mechanics of JM literally mean nothing anyway as 90% of the time you find yourself being the JM regardless of who starts as it.
That other 10% is usually a instant nose dive straight out the ship and more often than not followed by a trip back to the lobby. At which point the cycle repeats again and you'll be JM. XD
@apostolateofDOOM It depends of the situation. Usually i jump at the fastest/optimal time, so i know that at worst i'll get there in a similar time of other teams. Before that though, if i am JM i usually avoid the hottest zones, but if see that maybe one team went for it at best i'll do the same, even if they have a slight advantage in terms of time. Just not going for their same building is good. Of course sometimes when i choose a location it can happen that there are other 2-3 teams as well but you know, it's a BR. Problem is when people lack of common sense. Example: dropship goes from gauntlet to slum lakes. My teammate pings the Rig, he wants to go there. That made me a bit meh, because that would put us very far from the main action, but i'll stick with him, i'm not that toxic player that goes by himself leaving the team, even if i don't agree with their choices. Problem is he started dropping when we were above gauntlet, literally at the opposite corner of the map. Result? Landed in a no-man's zone between Cage and Capacitor--->bad loot.
I know that people should understand it by themself but if after more than a year i still see these things maybe it just won't work this way. 🤨
