I'll start. Since I've playing a lot of WE a few places I hate are:Overlook:Specifically the circle building that's near the edge. When another team drops at this location and your teammates goes to that circle building they're usually pinned down by the enemy team and killed.The are left and right of it is often just open area so you have to fight the team that dropped at the houses or you'll get gunned down while trying to run. Loot is often mediocre to be worth dropping on it.Special Mention:Trials:This area is great if you're already looted up but why do some people like to drop here and do the trials when there are teams that can drop down on you and wipe you guys out while you're trying to do the trials?Fragment and Skyhook:I think you know why.

@Daze623 This is easy. Fragment because it ruins a good map in worlds edge. 10 teams dropping in one spot is not how the game was supposed to be.

@Daze623PoI: Whole goshdang World’s Edge map except for EpicenterReason: Just don’t like it.

@hayhor I agree, granted I enjoy frag drops from time to time. Rarely win matches when we drop there, but sometimes my squad and I will take out 5-6 squads before the 7th partiers finish us off. Might not have been a win but we eliminated a ton of people.I like semi hot drops 3-4 squads depending on the area. Gardens is fairly good when 3-4 squads drop there. Really intense fighting and you definitely walk out with purple armor if you survive.

@hayhor I absolutely avoid frag on drop. I'll land close & join up with the team if they survive long enough.Waterfall is terrible on drop ever since people discovered the gold loot there but funny thing is they don't have gold loot there every game anymore.I don't care for the Swamps in KC if it's a hot drop. I can't really say why, I just hate fighting a lot of squads there lol.

@Daze623 I love Sky Hook, tons of loot tons of exits and plenty of room.

If I had to chose one POI on WE that I do not like at all. It's geyser, there is not much loot and not many exits. If you don't get a gun or armor you're almost certainly dead to any other squads that go there. Even if no one goes to the place, you're often in a very poor position loot wise and you're going to have to deal with people who are well looted. When you leave you either pass through Frag or Sorting factory. Who ever drops to those locations and survives will be extremely well looted and likely have purple armor.. While you and your teammates are stuck with white and maybe 1 or 2 blues.

Runner up is train yard. I love the layout of train yard, but the loot is fairly sparse. You will have to deal with well looted people from the surrounding areas.. So definitely not a place I like to go on drop.

For Olympus, not a fan of waterfall on drop. Hardly any loot and people like to drop Hammond or the red building than push you.

Number one least favorite is grow towers. The rotating buildings throw me off so much and make me dizzy.. That place is a death sentence for me.

WE: Fragment, because of what it is and because game after game you end up dropping there. I will drop with my team unless they ping the suicide buildings, then I drop across at the respawn beacon. I usually get six bins to myself, but as the loot distribution is so poor that's no guarantee of getting anything decent.
O: If Waterfall I drop into the front second tier of the building and if you're lucky there's at least a sheild and a decent weapon so you can hit the teams fighting over the rear bins. Estates doesn't seem as hot a drop as it used to be but again it's all down to luck. Yesterday I searched three adjacent building ... no shields, no decent weapons. I had to run off to the closest bike store to actually get anything good. There's nowhere else I don't like to drop.
KL: I don't mind The Cage as I play Rev and he can climb right to the top and jump out. I am glad Slums is going as I always found that boring. Happy to drop most places.
There is a lot of 'luck' involved in dropping which is the one thing I hate about Apex. Playing the other day I dropped at a bin on WE at one of the newer POIs and an enemy Mirage dropped at the bin right next to me. I got a double-tap trigger and a thermite nade, he got a purple shield and a Spitfire. Guess who died first?
BRs should not be about luck.

@EdwardDLuffy EVERY BR is about both luck and chance, take that away and you may as well "learn" csgo.
Imagine how dull this game would be if you knew where the circle would finish every time and worse if every zone was concentric, if you knew what loot would spawn where..........
Skill would win out every time cos sbmm is nothing short of laughable.

@EdwardDLuffy You can avoid the luck situation of being right next to someone else opening a bin by not dropping with them. Luck is a part of BRs and always will be.

@hayhor So if I am not JM and the JM lands hot I'm supposed to not drop with my squad and leave them 2v3 or worse?
