Do you like early game fights?
I myself love it and treat it like a trust fall with my teammate to see if they can hold their own in a gun fight.

@pastaclown You’re alright. But I already knew that.
I told my teammates: “The essence of this game is hotdropping. Without it, the game’s no fun.”
But I don’t necessarily do it for early gun fights. Sometimes it’s unfair. You have gun, they don’t. Othertimes vice versa, but that’s the thrill of it. Gambling.
I also just like swiftness. Either swift death or swift kill. That’s the way things have to be.
@Daze623 same here. That’s why I rarely do that. If I see we’re halfway across the map and JM hasn’t picked a place I know (s)he’s hesitant about dropping or wanting to go to edge. By that point I mark a location I’m heading (I almost always ping place even before jumptime but if they don’t wanna head there I’ll see where they want to go).

I only hate it when JMs hot drop then you find they can't hot drop and they quit as soon as they get knocked.
I prefer to drop close to hot drop spots then join the action. I used to hate the randomness of Fragment until I found a spot there where hardly anyone drops so you get six bins to yourself before you Leeroy Jenkins.
Used to hate The Cage too before I found out Rev can easily climb out the top of if.
- @EdwardDLuffy I do agree JMs that hot drop and then goes down in a couple of second is annoying but I still prefer them than playing hide and seek with the whole server. I'd rather die early on and get into a new game than waste time trying to hide only to inevitably be gunned down by a team that is more competent than mine.
- @EdwardDLuffy This is my preference too. Make sure you have some stuff and then head over.
- @hayhor My favourite on KL is the group of buildings close to Octane's Gauntlet. I've lost count of the number of times my squad has landed there unmolested, kitted up, then rotated to the Gauntlet and picked off the winning enemy squad of the early game battle. They usually come running out to those two bins in that long, thin, broken shed thing. They're so buoyed up about surviving the Gauntlet fight they don't expect a fully kitted up squad to pounce on them.
- @EdwardDLuffy I do that too. Shhhhhhj
