The psychology behind hot dropping in ranked

Childish in short, let me elaborate...

This happens mostly in plat, the cost for a plat game is 48, its a lot when you think about it, the reasoning most hot droppers have is that they are better than everyone, and also they think their team will be good enough to win a fight where multiple teams drop, good to great players that achieve diamond and above know this is not even close to be true, so they hot drop then immediately find out, then they get upset and blame the others on the team, they always want to be the exception to the rule, who else in human society thinks this way? Children and adolescents, nowadays we have adolescent adults running around masquerading as actual adults, so the behavior is exactly the same, they think they are special.

I recommend veering off to another area when this happens, at least you can live long enough in a BATTLE ROYALE (Yes this is a BR not a deathmatch or a king of the hill, want kills? Go play that or even Arena) to recover the points and not have a negative when you die.

So far I have done this every game I encounter hot drops and have managed to not lose RP, in some cases the players reflect and I am able to bring them back and we go to win or at least top 5 getting a positive RP.

But I digress, in conclusion:

Hot dropping is for childish brains that believe in Santa and that they are special, we all know whoever thinks like that fails at almost everything they do in life...
