should they rework the whole jumping master thing ?

i feel nobody like how jump master currently work despite it being with the game for like 3+ years since people would instantly '' Relinquish '' their jump master status to other people

like out of hundreds apex pubs match im 99% always be the jump master it's stressing me out because they just always throw me the jump master status because what ? im using valkyrie ? dude FYI HER PASSIVE DOESN'T NEED HER TO BE THE JUMPMASTER IN ORDER TO ACTIVE IT 

im not the best player in the world for sure im just casual who enjoy the gunplay of apex legends and the characters but every match every match im always the jump master it become a stressful thing that every time i start a pub match i always have to think very hard

like does my teamate want to hotdrop ? or they want to drop on edge ? where i can drop my teamate on safe place to avoid early elimination ? what annoy me more is most of the person who relinquish their jump master to me ping a location like IF YOU WANT TO DROP THERE WHY YOU PASS ME THE JUMP MASTER 

please Respawn and EA it's time to rework how jumping master works like i dunno it's your job to make this game enjoyable for your consumer 

since removing '' Relinquish '' button would never solve this problem mean there is chance where the jump master is afk so i could't think any best suggestion what should changed

  • @kittysune Yes. That's precisely my experience. People should jump on PING separately. Apart from the fact that this resolves the problem with AFK jumpmasters or silent jumpmasters, people not spreading etc., it also works better strategically. And that's why Respawn will not do it.
  • I personally don't see the issue here.

    If you're getting stressed as jumpmaster then it's pretty logical to assume the other players are also encountering this.

    They relinquish it to you so they don't have to deal with the stress of being a jumpmaster.

    Next to that, they might not be great at jumping as they don't know the exact numbers to jump at, or maybe they lack the technique.

    So they might trust in you being the jumpmaster as you might seem more experienced.

    I don't see a flaw with this system, it's just that players get too nervous to do something for their team, which is something that could be solved easily by ourselves.

    Players really won't get mad because you're jumping somewhere, you're the jumpmaster after all, it's your call.

    You don't have to think at all when making this decision, you were put in charge so they put up with it.

    Otherwise you can always relinquish and drop solo out of the ship if it's too much.

  • @kittysune the main reason I hate being a jumpmaster is when solo q, they don't want to break and loot beside me like an idiot.
  • @kittysune After playing 3 years I still feel pressure as the jump master especially in platinum and diamond ranked lobbies since where you land can have big consequences with RP. On the other hand, if it's pubs, don't sweat about it and if you die, the short queue times will make up for that.
  • @kittysune yep, I get what you mean. Take them to a mild drop so everyone can loot and if they want to push into a busy area, then you guys can go.
