Re: For God's sake...stop dropping in fragments!
As you get higher in Rank in Ranked hot dropping should cool off. D4 could be the exception though. about 1 in 8 games I will hot drop Frag with my friends.
Hot dropping does have its uses, also there is hot dropping (dropping with 4-5 teams) and hot dropping (dropping with 1-2 teams).
1-2 teams can be good 4-5 is almost always not good.
Some reasons for hot dropping:
So in Bronze quick KP and out plus sharpening CC skills no loss of RP.
So in Silver almost the same since RP loss is negligible.
So in Gold it starts to get interesting and maybe not drop with 1-2 other teams but with 1 or close to 1 for quick RP and then play placement.
Plat lobbies are sweaty no matter what.
Those that reach Diamond are either good enough and have enough time for the climb to master or are hard stuck D4's. The hard stuck D4's are a salty bunch in my experience and will hot drop in a heartbeat for quick games and the adrenaline, it's not like they can be de-ranked. Maybe Rank protection needs to be removed?
In all actuality when I play with my teammates depending on how we are playing that day, what Rank we are, what map etc we decide on drops from cold to warm to hot to superhot but we decide and play it as a team.
Well said and pretty much what I do with my friends (we decide as a team).
