Cmon y’all, use your common sense, I’m tired of getting 5+ matches in a row where this happens. Where they wanna land in fragment or the sorting factory. I’m not gonna land with you when there’s several other squads landing in the same spot. It’s not smart strategy when it happens consistently. Swear this only happens when I’m matched up with lower ranked players, too.

@DaDeDimson OH boy, tell me about it. From last two days my 90% games go like this:1. 'Fragment hot droppers' or sorting2. The 'throw the game when we reach top 5' guy by splitting off from the squad, making most nonsensical 0 IQ and stupid AF rotations possible in this whole universe3. Charge into a room full of enemies and die or run off solo4. The 'top 3 pusher' that can't seem to comprehend that the 3rd team will punish you if they have line of sight5. Players that can't hold their weight, specifically GOLD PLAYERS or some lvl 70 hardstuck Plat IV 💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤I am tryna Solo-queue here, why do I keep getting gold players on my team? Respawn hello? I reach Plat I and then some idiots costs me my points, had a Pred(lastseason) duo on my team hotdropped us in countdown and die ofc. Back to Plat II.

I won't play BR anymore because of this very reason. It's effectively ruined the game. And people wonder why games go so quickly. Because half of the lobby is dead within the first two minutes. Makes for a very, very boring game. And it's not something respawn can resolve. It's the mindset of the player base thinking that they're all preds. When they're the opposite. And yet they try game after game. There was a time when hot dropping made you a better player. Now it just makes you far worse.

@Piabetic I got "criticised" for not helping in a fight where Octane did just that, despite me literally pinging "I need a weapon" and that I would go to the next building. He keeps pinging the enemies while stimming towards them, I just ping "I need a weapon" again and "let's go this way". When he went there and died anyway and started "Lifeline, where tf are you!?!?" I told him that I pinged where tf I was and that I needed a weapon, then I left the game.

@DaDeDimson Those "lower rank players" are the hard stuck 4's that couldn't care less that you have something to lose cause they don't. They've reached their desired rank so they can just kick back, relax, and screw over entire team because why not? It's basically their warm ups for pubs now.

@NolanGraysonnn Yes, I always manually select legends so I am jumpmaster most of the time. Some hardstuck Plat IVs shout at me for not landing fragment tho but idc

Stop. Making. Me. Land. In. Hot zones. With. You.

I understand I don’t have to land in the same spot as them, but it’s still frustrating having to turn away every time too, because then you’re far from your squad.

And this is why I enjoy Arena more. I am tired of all those JMs that act like unfinished AIs.

@AcidicSoda44031 I kid you not, I’ve played between 5-7 matches today so far, and all but one we landed in fragment, and the one where we didn’t was because I was JM.

Somehow my team and I managed to win one of the matches where we landed in Fragment, but that was after I had to come rescue both of them because they were out down within a couple minutes.

Game. Made. Me. Jumpmaster.
JK. I do say this sometimes, but not in this context.
Medium hot is for my skill level. Fight 1 team, get some loot, rotate to the hot drop survivors..

I hate being jump master and when I am generally jump somewhere quite neutral.. However I love to hot drop, when I play solo I always do. I just want to fight people - multiple teams, the chaos at the start of the game is my favorite part. I hate playing for the first five minutes without a fight. I don't really want to win, I want to win and beat my highest kills.
When my teammate drops miles away I'll go with them and do my bit, would be nice to think when I'm JM I can send us into the gates of hell but I got sick of people swearing at me.

I love being criticised for being "too slow" to keep up with the pathfinder or Octane that grabs all the loot he needs straight away and then races ahead way too fast to keep up with him even if he bothered to ping and let me know what his intentions are and then gets downed thanks to me not being right behind him to back him up in his 1 vs 4 battle than he chose to take before checking where I was. Dropping hot is just a roll of the dice anyway, grab that gun first and you can maybe down 3 or 4 and set yourself up nicely but most of the time that isn't happening and its an instant squad wipe. Good thing I don't wear my KD ration proudly on my chest as a medal.

When my teammates do that it's solo time! I'm not going to sacrifice my game for some dude who ran off and tried to have all the fun without me...

@BaldWraithSimp I’ve been getting stuck with a lot of gold players as well that cost me my match or do the things that I am describing. I am currently at plat II and I normally finish each split in diamond IV or III, so I would appreciate being in my own playing field.
