@DarthValtrex This is what i don't get! Why do people object landing in the same building? Are you so selfish and need all the stuff for yourself? The team goes 3 buildings, easy kills cause ur separated., 3 teammates in 1 building with P2020 even each are already a force.
- @TrancyGoose Not if the separated team get blue armour with R301's and Peacekeeper.
It works both ways I agree.
But there is nothing worse than dropping as a team and then searching for a gun like an absolute idiot. - @TrancyGoose I always pass it simply because i dont like it when teammates land in the same loot spot as me, because they usually suck at looting and just grab everything reguardless if they can use it.
Because most people are followers and not leaders, and most people don't want to put any more effort than they absolutely have to?
I wish Respawn would add a setting or an option where people could just opt out from being a Jumpmaster automatically every match, so it always will go to a person who doesn't mind to be one right away (in a case all three players are opt out, then it goes with the current system, or just assign someone randomly). But something like that would be much better than having people change their minds once the ship has already crossed half of the map. I feel like this is another disadvantage random squads have over premade squads, and it can drag the experience down from the get go.
@xx_Dante2k_xx current reality is, sometimes you land in a house and there is some light and energy ammo, that is it. With 3 you can at least fist fight them :D Quickly :D
But yeah, goes both ways.
- @TrancyGoose Problem is people take 2 guns even if not everyone on the team have a gun, they grab ammo they cant use and so on.
80% of the games I'm JM just cause I'll always manually pick my character, while my teammates just let it auto pick. But I don't mind if I'm one or the other, as long as the JM knows what they're doing and doesn't try to drop us all in the corner of the map with the one guaranteed purple shield.
What I don't get is when JM gets passed to me, and then my two pre-squaded teammates immediately solo drop.
I end up being the JM like 90% of the time because I select my Legend. I particularly like this in ranked. More ranked players ping the hot zone than in standard play. smh...
- @TrancyGoose I'm just vibin, listening to yt, then I realize i'm jumpmaster, and I don't even have headphones in, so I pass it on.
As I'm not on mike, i presumed those that passed on the jm were newish to the game or uncertain or may have low stats, so i try to pick a spot out of the way with loads of loot so we can all get kitted up and go from there. Seems to work well most of the time.
Ill drop solo if the jm doesn't indicate a spot fairly quickly and then join them if I fancy the spot they are going to, or just go on my merry way and join them If i can later on.
