For God's sake...stop dropping in fragments!

@Cheese9Man I've been thinking about it and there's not much that will stop hot drop Henry and friends unless the drop ship has seperate drop times and landing locations per squad, preset by random selection. Kinda like dividing the map up with barriers for a minute to allow everyone to kit up and then start to move. But I can't see that happening. 

I see this "problem" posted on a regular basis.

In my experience this almost never happens.  The number of times I've dropped in Fragment West I can probably count on one hand.  I did it once as my brother pinged it as he was taking the * and didn't believe me it was a bad place to land.  We were in the lobby within 30 seconds.

It's like everyone complaining about Diamonds and Preds in their lobbies.  It's very rare that really seems to happen (and given the share of the playing base that falls into that category, it will be rare as it's a pretty small crowd - Statistically speaking this *must* be true).

Not sure what to make of all this.  Anyone else feel this way?

@Cheese9Man there was a serious hot drop called tilted towers a few seasons back in a previous map, have seen up to 20 of 100 hitting it in solo) . Since then there hasn't been such a large poi. But I think it may be making a comeback and is hidden under the ice at the moment and will reappear once the ice melts. So it will be interesting to see what happens. 

Fortnite poi's are smaller and more spread out so you get a much wider spread in the drop. In squad pubs 2 maby 3 or 4 squads going to the same poi, but really nowhere gets really congested like fragment. Same in duo, solos you might have 8-10 hitting the same poi. Loot is more spread out too, found almost anywhere. 

I did grind up to champion level in fortnite ranked and what I noticed was that up to 85 out of the 100 dropped in the first half of the bus's flight path. The numbers dropped rapidly in the first few minutes, points for kills. That was solo and again what was left seemed very spred out.

I guess the larger the poi the more will center on it. I've had 20 kills solo in squads (not a Smurf account 😃) , but there are no badges or rewards for kills so the focus is very much on the br win. Leader boards also seem to focus on the win numbers. They now have a new emote that is a counter for 2 wins in a row. 

If they can remove skull town, they can remove fragment. My fingers are crossed personally 

I kid you not, I just had 6 games in a row where the jumpmaster dropped fragment. I quit each one before landing. I'm seriously done with this map. 

@aisthebestletter I refuse to quit, and go for a wander. You have 5 seconds to press jump solo, that's plenty of warning to the jm to choose a better drop, but they don't, even in ranked.
