PUBS need this PLEASE

Need this ASAP

  1. A button that you need to press to confirm you are going to be the jump master. If you don't confirm you pass the jump and it keep passing until someone confirms or jump.
  2. Choose two spare legends to use in case the one you have selected is already taken.

So many games are ruined by this two.

    1. You confirm your willingness to be jump master by queueing into the game in the first place. If you're worried about an afk jump master then choose "solo drop." That doesn't mean you can't go wherever the rest of your squad goes, but it means you're keeping your options open. Now what they could do... probably should do... is not allow the jump master to jump until he/she has pinged a drop and two seconds have passed for the squad to see where they intend to take the team. THAT'S a change I'd pay money for.
    2. The system already does this automatically. If your main is taken then it will automatically choose your second most-played legend. Assuming you're asleep at the wheel and can't choose a different legend manually. If you're third to choose and your teammates have already taken your two most-played legends then the game will automatically give you your third most-played.

    To add onto that, a lot of players really don't like being the jumpmaster, (so sometimes you do have to be the jumpmaster). 

    I've had matches before where the jumpmaster kept being passed like a game of hot potato, and after I had split from the team, I had saw the other two continuously pass the role between each other until the game had thrown them out of the drop ship.

    A bit of clarification on this, (based on what I had noticed), the game will select the next legend based on which legend has the next highest kills.

    For me, Wraith used to be the legend I've had the highest kills on, (before I had gotten more kills with Valkyrie), now Wraith's my second highest kill legend, with Lifeline being the 3rd highest. If I'm playing as Lifeline, and someone picks Lifeline before I can, I would automatically get Valkyrie, (unless the other teammate had chosen Valkyrie, in which case I would get Wraith). 

    I do wish we got to choose though, because I would rather the game pick a different legend, (such as Vantage), instead of Wraith.

    1. Is a mix of a hard fix because it's just part of the game' deal. Unless they give us like a 2 week clause deal. You sign a paper that prevents you from being a jumpmaster or which level rate 1,2,3rd place you like to be selected as Jumpmaster frequency thing.
    2. Yes they do have a system but Great point it's not clear. Give me a token chip marker highlighter for my 1st 2nd 3rd favorite Legend, Apex! 
    3. I really wish If anyone can remember there was a screen before you picked Your Legend (I just looked it up/Season1) that would indicate which Legend You wanted so there won't be any stolen "Mains" Please Bring It Back!   There would be 3 Name boxes as if you were in game on a screen then it goes to select screen.

    The game does already show which legend players have selected, (or the legend they're wanting to select), which is shown by a colored 1, 2, and 3:

    Apex Legends - Character Selection Screen

    As you can see in this example above, the first player is going to pick Bangalore, while the second player is going to pick Ash.

    While this feature is nice, it doesn't always stop players from picking your legend, (nor does it stop players from hovering over a legend, where you then decide to choose another legend to be nice, (but then they end up choosing another legend instead).

  • yeah Bring it back 😅Bring it back! imo     

    its slightly different, although I agree there is no guarantee of the pick but having that screen which is the 'Waiting for players/Starting In: Countdown' (about 10sec), gives me a less shock value that you are taking my Wraith  😓  & A slight heads up to adjust my mindset.
