Uhm... how long have you played Apex is I may ask. Or since when have you been playing might be a better question?
@Koochi-QI’m starting a Quitters Anonymous meeting. Together we can work through our bad gaming behaviors, if you’re willing to admit you are powerless over your leaver addiction. Meetings are held every Monday at 7:00PM, free coffee!

@Koochi-QAlmost lvl 100 and based on my experience landing early or on high profile gets me killed immediately most of the time whereas landing late or on low profile areas does the exact opposite

I’m using your earlier statement to further my point.
You being lvl 100 explains your point of view splendidly. Alot of low lvl or passive players have the same feeling, weirdly enough.
Landing late isn’t smart, especially not in high loot, small locals or places with multiple teams. I’ll tell you why. If you land late (depending in what location out of the 3 I mentioned above) you can either have no weapons, team(s) approaching or a combo of both.
If you land in high loot places and land late... I describe landing late as being 1-3 seconds later than the first ‘lander’, but lets say 5-10 in your case, that’s 5-10 seconds less you can loot partly because you may encounter them.
In small local this is even more so the case because you, or they for that matter, don’t have alot of hiding places.
With multiple teams this just means multiple buildings will have been raided and you have the scraps. These scenarios aren’t even considering players like me who hear someone diving in, rushing outside, pointing their weapons of mass destruction and shoot you before you even land or shoot you right after. <—- this is one of the main reasons that ppl don’t (want to) land late.
You’re more at risk of dying sooner if you land later. Now maybe so far it helped you (honestly can’t and won’t believe that), but it’s not a good tactic.
The reason a couple have commented on your playstyle with a ‘wtf?’ reply is that these guys have spend hundreds upon hundreds and some even in the thousand(s) of hours so they know (in theory) more about the game than you do.
This is not a slam against you. You do what works for you, but if you play with randoms, you can be assured that if you flew past train yard for example and are already at fracture and you jump back to train yard, you’re either gonna have teammates D/C’ing, flying solo somewhere else or dying within 30 seconds.
@shadowninja5044 You should ask @DarthValtrex & @CrazyPlays54 XD
@Koochi-QYou’re spot on. You never want to land late. If other teams land there you’ll get the scraps. Now unless the RNG favors what you land on which is rare, You’ll be at a disadvantage. The other disadvantage is that you’ll have less time to loot. If you drop on the first half of the map, you’ll have a few extra seconds to loot before you have to start moving to ring. This is especially true if you end up on the far side of the map. That extra time can mean the difference between white and blue armor, or having a barrel mod for a R-99.
@shardvel I think a more accurate description of what you’re suggesting is to either, 1. Land in low traffic areas or 2. Land in areas that will allow you to third party the other teams there.
I always land broken up building at frag. Yes I die quickly or to third parties occasionally. But i also frequently get an evo on the drop and have it up to purple in the first minute of the game. We also often have fully decked out guns by the time we have killed everyone.
