I was being a touch dramatic yeah. 😛
In all seriousness though I watched KC final rings change dramatically for quite a while after they removed skull Town. Would regularly have 6-7 squads in last circles and It became a sniperfest. This is literally how I got most of my early sniper training in lol.
I'm pretty sure people were complaining about this back then also.
Long story short, hot drops are part of the game, if you don't like them avoid them....play the game how you want to play it let others do the same. ^.^
@MandatoryIDtag I think the real point is simply not even that it's part of the game, but it's kind of part of most Battle Royals.
Balance is tricky and I think Apex is very heavy on map design the way their game plays. There will always be a perceived 'best zone' to drop in, based on loot, on people who want to see action right away, wherever.
However, Skulltown was, and Fragment still is, probably too much in favor of one zone. Instead of nuking it, which I mostly root for because it would be hilarious (see Skull Town tears), I think a moving around of the loot boxes would work out. Like there are just so many of them dead center in the town, and that's where the YOLOs go to die.
With so many buildings and cover (which is one thing I like about Fragment), I think more loot inside buildings rather than binds on roof could help. And maybe spread them out better so it's less like a bullseye of loot and more like a ring.
@hayhor Skyhook is Fragment done right. And actually it's really great it isn't the center of the map.
I'd honestly think Fragment was better if it was shifted over to the East edge of the map, but then yknow, what would go in the center for people to fight over?
A boxing ring! :P (that is not a serious suggestion)
