You're just not good enough to hot drop.
I am able to play this game at least a couple of hours most nights. I've played thousands of games total and I am still just completely confused by the number of people that insist on hot dropping. N...

@OldTreeCreeperEh sometimes they go for it other times they don't. Funny thing even with a good teammate, you get stuck doing the work. I randomly got matched with a predator last night, he went straight to bonsai, no issue I like dropping there.
He had a decent gun and white armor. I called out enemies trying to pinch us... Still got dropped the rest of the match? I had to revive him 5 times. I'm sitting there going uh the highest i've made it in ranked is plat 4, I must be missing something here. The 5th revive he got punched by me. I was even popping my smoke on him and for him when he would get into trouble.
We all have bad rounds and perform poorly. It just happens sometimes.
It really doesn't have anything to do with one or two bad games. Bad games happen no matter what game you're playing. I'm talking about ~90% of games where the jumpmaster chooses the one of the hot drop locations and is basically instantly eliminated. I just don't understand the point. I'm not asking a team to not drop hot if they can handle it. But the vast, vast, vast majority of the people that play this game can't maintain a 1.0 kdr and honestly shouldn't be playing, but surely shouldn't be ruining everyone's time who is afflicted with them as a teammate by dropping in and being instantly eliminated after doing 10 damage and getting 0 kills.
You just gave to abandon games, even in ranked. Wait 10 minutes, you were going to lose anyway. You might make a point and if you don’t you got some return pain as they try to get by in the hot zone with a 2 squad in ranked (good luck with that)
I gave someone a real tongue-lashing yesterday as they decided to jump back to Estates on Olympus, and this was ranked. You could CLEARLY see 18 enemies ALL land before us. You can guess how long we lasted.
I'm getting better at HDing but it's still DFA. The problem is the lack of POIs. There is only one place on Olympus I like to drop (and it was my secret place but now loads of others have 'discovered it'). On WE I only really like Survey, Epicenter or Harvester. On KL there were at least eight places I was happy to drop at.
It was so bad grinding Bronze yday I actually gave up and played COD instead. In a ranked game the JM took us to Trials. TRIALS!!
- @EdwardDLuffy What is wrong with trials? If no one goes with one can loot the top, one can do the inside and one can do the back. If you enjoy sniping the top hidden bins always have your gun.
