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 Easiest solution: ditch them. Land elsewhere.
If the JM truly lackS the ability to look at their surroundings and see how many squads are gonna land in one area, especially if another squad can loot before your’s, the chances are not in your favor.
Yeah, you might have to solo, but it’s worth it to salvage whatever RP (or just placement if you play pubs) you can vs dying immediately at the start. That’s not fun or fair to the other players.

Well I don’t have a problem myself with hotdropping randoms since I usually play with a full squad. I was asking if Respawn could do something to at least lessen half of the lobby from dying in the first ring and having the middle-late game just looking for enemies.
@Cheese9Man I've been following this thread for a bit and I'm not sure having better "loot" elsewhere will be a winner. Frag has lots of loot but it's a bit spread out and, like any hot drop, it's hit and miss as to whether or not you pick up a weapon.
I'm not sure hi-tier loot zones are worth it either. I've landed in them and they are usually pretty "meh".
I'm mixed on this one. Playing with friends I prefer to land somewhere sensible or "medium" hot. But sometimes it's good to just land in the thick of it and sink or swim. I *hate* tooling up for 10 minutes just to get mowed down at range by some muppet with a 301 in a ridiculous fashion. What a waste of time. There is something to be said for a good honest fight right out of the gate. You leave with a few kills and decent gear or start again. I'm ok with that. But I'm also not too fussed over ranked and I can appreciate how that is a concern in the higher tiers. I would expect, however, that higher tier players would be more sensible anyway. Is that not the case? I got up to Gold something 4 or so season ago in ranked and it seemed to be the case then. Haven't really touched it since.
I've been grinding Arenas ranked a bit (for the caustic skin, I really don't care for Arenas) and I've found it pretty hit and miss. Mind you it has put me in Bronze and I clearly don't belong there and I'm getting paired up with some new players which is frustrating. I try to help them and give suggestions but playing with a bloodhound who never scans or a lifeline who never revives is pretty pointless. I have to admit, as a Caustic main normally, that playing Fuse against squads who camp with a caustic inside was pretty horrific. I was able to take them out with ridiculous ease with knuckle clusters and a ton of grenades. Definitely food for thought for my Caustic game.

They should just cut out a huge hole at fragments. Not even fill it with lava, just a giant square void with more skybox.
