I know this makes me predictable but here goes:

My favorite POI is wherever everyone else isn't.

My favorite drop is the point on the map farthest away from where everyone else has landed.

The drop I hate the most is the one executed by my squadmates who believe that if you're not in a fight within seconds of landing then there's something wrong with player/game/world.

Detecting a pattern here?

And this season has made all this even worse with some very loose matchmaking that guarantees aggressive enemies and evenly distributed drops. I drop late, far off the line, and on the edge of the map, and I'm still pinned in between three enemy squads. I've started playing Valk because why fight the power? She's the newer, more powerful Pathfinder and I can't pretend that there is any other way to navigate this map, at least until matchmaking settles down. Not really holding my breath on that one, but time will tell.

@reconzero That's not loose MM. That's people spreading out a bit. In reality you shouldn't be able to land miles from every other team. There should be a team at every POI.

These evenly distributed drops are a feature of welterweight players, of which I am, I think, not one. So if I'm ending up in their lobbies, something that has only happened rarely, and usually mid-season, then matchmaking must be looser. That or it somehow thinks that two kills per ten matches and one win per thirty somehow makes me platinum.

  Bronze and silver lobbies have had a good spread out of players, more so now in silver one at the moment.

  @reconzero Nah it's just the new Mal. People are still exploring. And the POIs are better and have easier access to other POIs.

    The whole of the map is milk toast and samey. I really do not distinguish much between any of the drop points.
