Any solution to stop hot dropping in apex?
Sooxfar and Jankz had a good discussion on their recent video on what Respawn should do with Fragment. I agree with them that whatever you replace it with, people will still drop there (in pubs) sinc...

@Cheese9Man At this point there's not really much Respawn can do about hot dropping. Yes, they could remove Frag but then probably Lava Syphon would be the next hot zone. Unfortunately the majority of Apex players lacks common sense so we'll have to deal with it forever.
TDM mode, the mode that should have been instead of Arenas. I'd still like to know what exactly "sabotaging" covers. Can we just report them?
- @CCbathwater Yeah I would love to shoot die and then respawn. It will be the perfect way to practice aiming before playing BR. That’s why I loved the Christmas train LTM we had.
Upping the loot quality at some of the lesser drops would be a good way to spread the playerbase.
KC used to have little areas where you'd be basically guaranteed a gold item and as a result you'd get players dropping there as opposed to just the usual drops.
Improving the hot drops (blue circles) would be a huge improvement too, would make fighting for that loot actually viable and further distribute the playerbase....or at the very least vary the mass hot drop of players somewhat.
@CCbathwaterSabotage can be basically anything a player does deliberately that lessens your chances of winning or advancing in the game. For example when I had a player that was JM try to kill all of us by steering us off the map. When we broke off & they died I tried to go get their banner & force them back into the game & they quit. That would be sabotage.
@Cheese9Man I think another solution would be like what Darth said. Make there more incentive to drop elsewhere. But also make other POIs more interesting enough to draw attention away from hot drop places. But there will always be hot drops. I think it works more in favor of those with common sense. Less people who have to potentially engage. If your rando team is one of those that lack that, then you just roll solo that round & see what you can do. I've won some cool games thanks to stupid tms that insta died in Frag or other hot drops.
- @Lord_Scorpion34 Or just divide the lobby into 4 groups and start them at opposite corners of the map. That way, people could hot-drop, but you would only face a max of 4 other squads. As the numbers whittled down, you would still bump into people in all 4 quadrants moving closer to the circles.
