Re: Hot drop garbage
@c0ld1
Wanting a smaller map for the short attention span players seems like a nice idea on the surface, but:
a) I don't want to be forced onto a team deathmatch map because a bunch of kids have adhd. That's why I left 20 years of Halo to come to Apex.
b) This game doesn't need to bend to hot droppers' compromised mental condition. Those players need to go find a non-battle royale game that's better suited to them.
c) Stop encouraging their behavior by being willing to drop with them. If you don't get jumpmaster then you have five seconds in the drop ship to select "drop solo." Selecting it doesn't mean you can't drop with your squad. It means your sending a message to the jm that your options are open and they shouldn't do anything stupid. If you're on mic then you can actually say that, although it won't make you any friends. But sometimes the right thing to do is the unpopular thing to do. Every single match I play I drop solo and I stay alive until my squadmates get themselves killed or survive to third place where we meet back up and then take it from there. I know it sounds anti-meta, but it actually works. Unless you have some fantasy of making it to Diamond.
