New Ranked Mode
I have to say, the new ranked mode is great. No more hot drops and better balanced game play. A lot of the other updates seems to have balanced the game out as well. Best update in a long time!

Just play pubs there's no drop ship, or wildcard even. Ranked is the only mode where there's a dropship so it's easily avoidable.
I'm just confused man, the ranked distribution is better, there's more teams alive for longer, what's there to hate about ranked right now? They've made amazing changes and most people are loving it.
"the ranked distribution is better"
That's a function of people being drawn back for the new season, not a result of gameplay changes.
"there's more teams alive for longer"
Not sure why this matters one way or another. You either get idiot hot droppers, like in the old system, and there are only five squads left by close of first circle... or you get a bunch of campers staying alive until you get to final circle with eight squads fighting over a rock on a hillside. Arguing over which provides more compelling gameplay seems pointless to me. I say let people play the game whatever way they want to play it, and the only people that ultimately hurts are experienced solo queue players. Like me. And I'd much rather have idiot teammates than no freedom of choice and limited freedom of movement. But that's just me.
"most people are loving it."
I'm a big enough man to genuinely hope that this is true. But I'm gonna patiently want until the new season shine has worn off before I make any bold statements about whether or not these changes are crowd pleasers.
