- @aisthebestletter I feel like this is situational but I'm inclined to agree with you. It's annoying but in my experience it's more like the JM wants to land somewhere that doesn't make sense (i.e it's sweaty etc) or otherwise not viable. You tell them to land somewhere else and they ignore you, go there anyway, die and quit lol.
- @aisthebestletter Depends on how the jump master jumps for me. If the jump is late and crap I just leave the game.
- dSKyNafinchin4 years agoHero (Retired)@GH0STEDbyME I'd have to agree. I don't always solo queue, but when I do, I play pubs. I'll go wherever JM feels like going in pubs, because pubs. I don't normally bother with ranked unless my squad is on, so it's not an issue for me in there. On the off chance that I happen to solo queue in ranked, I may break from JM if they're going to a drop with the population density of Manila.
- @aisthebestletter I have no idea what a pram is but it sounds fun so +1!
@hayhorI'm usually just so happy to actually have teammates instead of the solo vs. 3 queue I've been getting lately that I'll usually go at least to roughly the same area, even if it's the stupidest (is this gonna get me censored?) landing area in the history of stupid landing areas.
Edit: Like a rooftop of Bonsai Plaza when there's already a squad killing another squad there. Or the rift but like right in the middle, as far from any actual buildings or loot as possible. Ah, fun times.
Game made me jumpmaster

I told a story the other week about having a trio jump out of a potted tree in estates to punch me to death. That happened after we walked two minutes from nowheresville to estates to try to get some loot, but before I could actually get a weapon. Lesson learned.
- @pandareno1999 This actually sounds like RL with the pandemic, lol.

I keep seeing it where people ping that they want to go to fragment or estates and I refuse to drop there if I'm jump master. I pick better landing sites, those places are terrible.
OP, you're in the wrong game.
You haven't been around long enough to notice Respawn rewards you for leaving games, and often penalizes you for staying in them. When you catch onto that, you'll realize that you only play the games that are fun that you want to stick around them.
I know that's not right, but that IS how this game is, like it or not. People leaving and getting rewarded still for it is exactly Apex. What you need to do, like it or not, is leave more games you are unhappy with yourself.
Apex was not built on sportsmanship. There are a few subtle hints to that, like all the rubbing it in your face sore winner emotes and moved. And then there are super obvious ones, like how you still get a 'played game' if you leave right after the drop ship shows up, even before you land. If this game rewarded sticking around, you wouldn't get in game accomplishments if you quit early.
Call it dump culture, or trash culture or whatever you have. It's not what people are taught growing up but it sure is for fact this game. It's not that they need to grow up, but that you probably need a more mature game than Apex to be satisfied. Apex is all hormones and pimples.
