Hot drop garbage

Seriously is everyone that plays this game out of their mind?!? People drop so quick and die instantly. It's insane. People think they're good and then they get 2 kills and die to join again and do t...

@Disembow3lment naw, I got thousands of kills on several legends. It's just frustrating that people are so dumb. They think they're going to get better or maybe they don't like winning. I'd rather win than get a few kills.

@c0ld1 Not only that! It's way easier to get kills and dmg landing anywhere but hot. I can literally land on the other side of the map and get 6-15 kills and +2000 dmg, despite half the lobby lands Fragment. Posted enough match reports of that here, to make that point.
Land Fragment... if I survive I get maybe a few kills, and then have to spend all game looking for ammo and heals, usually alone because teammates, they be dead.
I don't know about everybody else, but if I have to 1v3 a team and I don't have ammo and heals, I usually don't win that fight... probably a skill issue though. I need to practice my melee vs. shotgun gameplay.
But yeah, hot drop games are so boring as it's the same every time. Dead teammates, no kills, and having to loot scraps all game instead of fighting.
I guess I'm just odd that way, preferring to win and get kills, dmg, fights all game long. 🤡

  @CCbathwater It really is just about peoples play styles. While some may not think it can make you a better player I can say for myself it most certainly does.
  
  1: It teaches me how to react and make smarter plays when being in a stressful environment.
  
  2: it teaches me to use guns I normally would not use to get better with them.
  
  3: it teaches me how to handle third party situation up to even more teams.
  
  There are a few reasons some can name why and how it can make someone a better player. There are those times you drop in a safe location but still a team comes in or two. So without mixing a chill play style with a sweat play style you will only be adapted to your 1 true preferred play style. Then when it does get heated some may choke or not know what to do or look for without that hot drop experience forcing someone to learn those situations.

    These thoughts go a long way to justifying why one might want to hot drop, but to force randoms into this situation in order to suit one's practice efforts is of a product of questionable ethic. No-fill and pre-made are good ways to achieve this without griefing team mates who do not choose to play this way. Just a thought, not particularly arguing with you. I like some hot drops as part of a balanced play-style diet, as I said earlier in the thread.
