Why Do Y'all Like Hot Dropping?

In Ranked??? I really want to know the reasoning. Sure you might get some kills in the scuffle but you lessen your chances of winning the actual match.

@Lord_Scorpion34 It is necessary to accrue points early and camp later on instead of camping early on and trying to get points by fighting purple or red evos... most likely reasoning

@Koochi-Q but your chances of survival drop significantly. There's times i can't even find a weapon or get stuck without armor. Everytime I get inn a squad that hot drops we're wiped before the rinng closes about 7 times out of 10. They can't even handle themselves but they wanted us to go there???

And it's not worth it to go to the blue circle hot drop just for one gold item. One!

@Lord_Scorpion34 It is quite funny how people think they need to hot drop for stuff like that and for points. I've been watching a bit of shivfps play ranked. Shiv is quite aggressive but even he lands in spots to get stuff before fights.

@Lord_Scorpion34 But... you want excitement and where do you find excitement? ROLLERCOASTERS! but since there’s no rollercoasters in Apex, you drop straight down aka hotdropping xD.

If you can’t find a gun or armor... you chase a big thrill by challenging someone with a gun with your knuckles only. Thats the beauty of hotdropping :P

Hayhor knows I hotdrop but I’m sensible. If I see too much or have nothing, I’ll not go into the eye of the storm or even near the storm.

  @Koochi-Q Yeah I hate hot dropping in Ranked. Or period really lol. Especially in Fragment. I try not to be the toxic teammate & break off. But if it means I can survive a little longer I just might 😅. But I'll land close by & join back up once I have weapons & armor lol.

    I don’t, I’ll break off the drop even though it can hurt. But seriously most hot drops mean you die do at Leary one of us lives.
    I usually land just outside the area when the others break away. Sometimes I can even get them. It’s not like I’ll win solo either but often I can at least break even on points for myself and then if they don’t bail on the game.
    and sometimes I can stop them dropping in a dumb place by breaking away if they follow, and we can start cleaning up.
