You're just not good enough to hot drop.

I agree with a lot of what you said and I have spoken about this before. There's no point in landing hot, team gets destroyed, and doing it all over again game after game after game. There isn't enough decent loot to go around to begin with so the majority of the time the team with the best loot will win the encounter. We also always seem to be one of the last teams on the ground which means that at that point we're just handing out free kills to the opposition. But try explaining that to your random teammates... I'm not saying I'm any good but I had around 120 wins in season 4 (with a ping of 200) just by avoiding this dumb practice and trying to play smart instead. Way more wins than I'm able to get in this season and the last combined which speaks for itself as to the direction the game (or playerbase) is headed..
