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.
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.
