@i-NormI completely understand. If anything would make me give this game up is Always being the Jumpmaster 😅. I've got used to it, then it's like ok guys it's not funny anymore.
The best I can get an understanding of it, is your "power level" of winning as the Jump Master is far higher than the players you queue up with. There are so many stats/factors in Apex I don't think most of them are even thought about to show us on paper.
@XNocturnalGamer I've split from the team several times already, and what's even funnier, I would land somewhere else than where they had pinged, and then they would just follow me there instead. Like, so much for knowing where you wanted to land... I guess.
Also, what you're saying about the power level does make sense, however from my experiences, I'm only the Jumpmaster if the first two didn't pick a legend on their own, or I had picked a legend on my own last. Earlier today, the first player manually picked Newcastle. The second player waited out the timer, and was assigned Mad Maggie. I also waited out the timer, and was assigned Lifeline.
Who became the Jumpmaster? Newcastle did.
If it is power based, I haven't seen anything that would suggest it as such yet. So, if you happen to get it on video, that would be quite interesting to see.
@reconzero You're still missing the point. I know I can pass it over. That isn't the point. But thank you for your replies anywy... I guess.
I have tried everything suggested here and it doesnt change the fact that I am stuck on being the default jump master. Again... it normally wouldn't bother except for the fact that its now GLARINGLY annoying. I mean I played 33 games last night and I was the selected jumpmaster 29 times. I KID YOU NOT!!!
For anyone that thinks its a petty reason to be upset I hope it happens to you for over 2 months and let's see if it still doesn't bother you.
I promise you its so annoying.
@i-Norm Select your preferred legend before you enter the game. When you enter the game, don't select a legend on the legend selection screen. Jumpmaster is given to the last player to select a legend on the legend selection screen. If no one selects a legend on the legend selection screen, then it's given to the player that entered the game first. This is not necessary in the order that players appear on the legend selection screen.
If you are always getting JM it's because either you are always selecting your legend on the legend-selection screen and your TMs aren't, or you have a super-fast connection and are close to the server so you are entering games as one of the first 20 players time and time again.
@Midnight9746That is the 3rd scenario after being annoyed! 😅
For me it's the indecisiveness of my teammates. I don't mind being the jumpmaster simply because I trust my instincts over yours. I'm the Jumpmaster yes I can pass it No problem but as the point of this thread is as of NOW in my current state of play, I'm passing it EVERY single game I start. Sometimes i'm locked sometimes there a lot of background noise. Doorbell package, quick bathroom, a drink etc.
I come back I'm the jumpmaster fine. Sometimes we're last to drop other times win/lose. Sometimes I'm locked in, quick Gatorade win/lose
The annoyance of this is that if I land & they fall. It's my fault. He disconnect!!! We end up wiped the team 2v3 after I all.
If I pass it, they pass it, pass it back, I got fine! Land.
If I pass it, they pass it, the teammate picks the location the other pings another location. We split but I Convince my teammate whom I passed the Jumpmaster to, to follow him is our best chance of survival. Fine. Apex.
It's Just I'm ALWAYS the jumpmaster 😭! lol Help! I've tried all these combos xyxz Up Up Down Down
@XNocturnalGamer I've been playing since Day 1.
@FuseDLuffy I've done all that mate. Every suggestion you've recomended. It doesn't matter if I select, don't select. If I'm 1st, 2nd or 3rd in the rotation. Nothing matters. 98% of the time I will be pre selected as Jump Master!
