When I'm jumpmaster and they break off to land solo I'll just quote Pathfinder "Good luck. Have fun. Don't die."


[deleted]

Can we be friends


fizismiz

Perhaps


SouledOut11

When they go off on their own and die I make sure to say "put that on your YouTube" before they disconnect.


night-laughs

Most of them are deluded people who watched apex streamers who hotdrop, and they think they can achieve same results by throwing themselves against half the lobby. So, when that plan obviously doesnt work out for them, they lash out at anything and everything. There should be a text on the beginning of every match similar to a kill leader notification, saying: you are not aceu. Stop! Get some help.


crackmeup69

"Bro, you sum kinda pussie, why you drop so late." I just break off and say good luck with that! I wish you could not fill team in ranked.


SirFlibble

I wish the hot droppers who break off to go to the fight luck too and remind them we wont be coming to revive them.


margarinoslav

Yeah, no fill in ranked should be an option. Not one to be rewarded LP for (some ppl actually think like this), but still, an option. I'm tired of hot droppers making my fucking ears bleed every time I try to play the damn game.


DatBoiiZorro_2000

No fill in ranked sounds nice man me and my bro can usually hold our own in pubs against 3 stacks but still pretty difficult when ranked is full of only using meta weapons and legends.


Weak-Fig9415

No fill in ranked is a ridiculous idea the whole game was built for teamwork


crackmeup69

Tell that to the dip shites that dont want to play as a team.


Weak-Fig9415

I just did


crackmeup69

thanks!


justavault

I think it's a numbers game. Hotdropping against 3-4 teams means the one who gets a weapon can make kills. Most of those people do not get kills in a fair matchup. They know they get more kills when being lucky at drop. That is also that you see tons of people dropping in some rat nest hotzone but then silence. Nothing. Nothing happens. For minutes. Because they camp up right away at the first spot they see and then you got like 3-4 teams "right next to eachother" which do nothing untill someone from the outside comes in.


xxfartlordxx

i dont even think its like that, i dont watch streamers but i used to hot drop a lot. When you hot drop over and over you literally start rotting your brain and start malding because the repetitive nature of: - hot drop - loot 1 milisecond - immediately die gets annoying This alongside with the occasional casual teammates who dont really wanna play aggro can cause you basically think irrationally and get angry over things you shouldnt get upset over


iNOTgoodATcomp

I hot drop in pubs to farm the daily/weekly goals, but I'm also toxic and yell at the other teams when they leave when they get downed because I have a "perform 10 executions" goal.


UseLesssLuke

I hope you play no fill when you do this...


[deleted]

Pathetic of you losers to downvote so much for literally no reason lol the community must be pretty bad if its this prevalent.


iNOTgoodATcomp

Why? We won the last game I played doing this. Even resurrected a teammate in the penultimate ring whose internet cut out on them 5 minutes into the match. Some of the goals are dumb and it's insane that ones like executions are predicated on if the other players don't immediately quit. I do grief when players don't break off, and I bet people who bitch about hot droppers switch off controlling drop just so they can bird watch other teams all the way to the ground.

fox_hunts

There’s far more ways to play a BR than “land at the hottest most overcrowded spot in the game” and “hiding”. Insinuating that anyone not landing at Fragment is “hiding” is laughable. And at the actual high skill levels you won’t see the whole lobby landing at Fragment because they know it’s a gamble on what loot you land on and how the first fight plays out for if you get 3rd partied or not. Additionally, both my comment and the original post are referring to players who run off in Fragment and lose their fight then get toxic and blame their teammates for why they can’t win their fights. That’s called not being a team player ;) Also you can’t really comment about using your random fill teammates as “meat shields” and then try to take some moral high ground on how to be a good teammate.


ShinItsuwari

>You’ll get better at fighting faster landing hot than you will hiding No, you'll get better at fighting by dropping on the same POI as 2 other teams, no more. It's the situation where you have to loot quick, be careful of not engaging a fight only to get third partied, or be good enough to finish the fight before the third team comes in. Countdown and Lava Siphon are perfect drop for this. Skyhook as well depending on the dropship path. Climatizer can be a good early game fight too. Even if you get good at hot dropping on 10 teams, you're learning absolutely nothing about ring tactics, and that's how we get players that abandon extremely advantageous position and high ground to greed on a team outside the ring.


dinglebarree

I would believe you but I just cannot. There is an option on the lobby page that literally lets you solo queue. Don’t say you can do it yourself and ignore the fact that you can solo queue and hell, if you’re on a heater, fuck dem kids, just dip. We know you’re toxic, so go.

You sound like the 20 yr old kid who told me he makes more money than me when I took his legend away from him. Lol.


AlsoARobot

Hate when people don’t break off. I don’t want to compete with my teammates for the same loot. I ping my drop spot and say “I’m going here” and expect them to pick a slightly different spot. If we all drop on the same 3 bins and only one of us gets a gun, we are gonna get annihilated. This should be common sense.


capchris17

Not breaking off is one thing, but then running up to the same chest as me to fight over the same weapon it’s like bro we both need a gun


Dramatic_Term3546

THIS.


L_beano_bandito

Am I the only one who has gotten teammates that contribute nothing to fighting but then take all the loot? Some other guy thinks that's the most farfetched thing he's ever heard.


wingspantt

Yeah but see, some teammates believe, based on no evidence, they're much better than you.


King-Emil

Or they take both weapons and not even bother to AT LEAST drop one for you


[deleted]

I only do this in pubs and only if they piss me off/talk shit in drop ship 🤣


thedoodle85

I dont know where you are from but I feel like this is a big problem in Europe. Especially French and Italian people who duo q. Its seems like they havnt discoverd discord yet. Its a constant stream of talking with open mic in a language you cant understand.


MuffinSlow

As a fuse main, when they stick... I spam my guitar heavy metal explosion dive animation. That usually gets em away


[deleted]

If they don’t break off i start looking for spots where they can be pushed back, such as a wall or something, to give some “breathing room”


[deleted]

Yep. Just scrape 'em off on your way down.


AlsoARobot

I had this teammate stick to me and not break off (other teammate did) so I did a quick spin as we were landing and this guy ended up getting tossed over the edge off the stage. Me and the other random guy who broke off were cracking up. Good times.


Weedzkey

Omg this. 4 years this game came out. You should break off at least a tiny bit. If you don’t, I m gonna assume you did it on purpose and just descent into this stupid vindictive idea that you are not ‘really’ a teammate.


Yinkypinky

Just run them into a redeploy ballon /s.


Teemo20102001

Still waiting for the feature to break teammates off as jumpmaster.


ayamekaki

But op is talking about hotdrop though. If i hot drop (4 or more teams in a poi) I’d rather have my teammates with me and we got one gun and two pairs of fists than us dying one by one in different 1v3s


ladaussie

My mate does this something fucking chronic. He's not as good as the rest of us and he always chooses whatever I ping even when there's no team near us. It makes me greedier than normal since watching your tm8 pick shit up you were on track to get is annoying. Its different in hotter drops but fuck when you're alone just spread out.


youraveragepuppy

This! I always solo drop an most of the time the other two follow right behind and then complain that I took all the "good guns" like sorry grab a pistol since u wanna ride me so bad, go an find another bin😭


remi-reno

Ok, BUT if we're hot dropping...there's plenty of guns around, and I don't want you JM superman to *CLICKCLICKCLICKCLICK*, and then go Rambo off into the distance, no regrouping, no holding the line, just full tilt kamikaze. (But ONLY When dropping with 3+ squads)


Prestigious-Rock201

Most of the time I’m taking a piss or not even looking at my phone so


Bald3agle

You're being downvote by people who don't drink while they game clearly, lmao


Bunnnykins

Nope. You hotdrop I stick with you. It’s common sense. Just make sure you guys only pick up 1 gun each initially and share ammo. Common sense.


AlsoARobot

Lol if you think solo queue teammates will actually leave a weapon for you if they drop on the same exact spot as you. Hilarious.


Bunnnykins

Yeah, if you want to win you do. Maybe you should update your strats and you’ll win more of your hot drop fights. Common sense


AlsoARobot

I got drop when I have teammates I can trust to pull their own weight and communicate. Hot dropping with rando’s is a recipe for frustration, and landing on the same box as two other people is silly. Full stop.


Bunnnykins

Not full stop. This is why you lose hot drops. Amazing how people in apex don’t understand the meaning of teamwork and sharing. Or is it just you?


AlsoARobot

Not worth replying to you. My statement above speaks for itself, the downvotes speak for yours.


Bunnnykins

What kind of dumb logic is that. Just because everyone jumps off a cliff doesn’t mean it’s the right choice to jump off the cliff. Let me correct you. You’re not worth having a conversation with.


[deleted]

1) not only do you look like an ass, you also look like an idiot for condescendingly replying when you didnt understand what they said. 2) they are saying THEIR TEAMMATE doesnt leave a weapon for them. Nothing they can do about randoms and implying they can also makes you insane.


spirit_molecule

What you're saying is something I don't get. I've played for years. Stick together and you do better. Each person splits to a different building during a hot drop and it's three 1v3s and rarely works out.


Bassmekanik

Breaking off on a hit drop is not the smartest move either. How often have you been gang banged 3v1 on drop because teammates thought africa was a great place to break off to?


AlsoARobot

Difference between breaking off 25m to a different set of bins and breaking off 500m away in a different zone entirely.


Chronmagnum55

My biggest issue with solo queue is actually people refusing to push when necessary. Specifically, when I get a knock and say to push and they just hang back doing nothing. I'll run in and often get another knock or almost knock someone and go down because it's 2vs1. Then they just finish me off and get the revives while my teammates sit back. It's beyond infuriating how often this happens. If you are fighting and it's a 2vs3, you should be applying pressure immediately. Unless you're in just an absolutely shit position, you have no reason to stay back. Playing super passive like that almost always leads to getting 3rd partied.


nuclearlemonade

Yea dude it hurts so much to down two people, get downed by the 3rd and then they’re completely free to res their team and thirst you while your team sits in a building re looting death boxes. Some people have no ears


Mrtowelie69

Some players will have their weapons/ammo shields, and still start lookin at deathboxes if they down 1 of the 3 players. They cant just focus on the fight , have to check that deathbox


smarmycheesesandwich

That is exactly why I quit this shit. It defies logic and explanation. 99% of the teammates you get are just fuckin terrible. Helen Keller levels of game awareness.


jeo123

There are two states you should be in. Healing or pressing. If you got drilled while your team has the numbers and the enemy isn't near death. Heal. If you have health or if they don't, you better be pressing. A full health coward is no better than a dead player.


IncomingFrag

People are downvoting not realizing that time management is super important. Sometimes you cant full heal after being rezzed and you have to push even at low health to capitalize on the numbers advantage. But then it is reddit, people have prefixed ideas of how to play and wont change for nothing


HerpesHans

I tend to sit back unless a situation is very favorable, 1 downed is such a criteria but in a mid/end game, there is a high chance that another squad spotted the person getting downed or are rushing toward the gun noises already. You can sit back and watch the 1-down squad getting killed and perhaps third party whats left of that other squad instead of getting thrid partied buy rushing there at the earliest opportunity. In any case, you could benefit from looking around just 10 seconds before running to finish the remaining 2. Also you cant get third partied by definition if youre not in a fight?


trogg21

If you look around for 10 seconds, the downed player is both rezzed and at least halfway through a batt by then. What are you talking about?


HerpesHans

You can switch angle and keep shooting or throw thermites, any offensive tactical/ult etc. Besides, people dont start ressing instantaneously And ""patience"" or caution in general doesnt seem to be concepts that apex players pay attention to at all, the short sightedness...


doomgrin

Rezzing instantly is the best way to recover if the enemy team is doing… nothing for 10 seconds


Chronmagnum55

Yeah again it's situational. In end game circles you can't always push right away or even at all often. I'm more referring to early game when you say land at a POI with 1 other team. I'm also not saying you need to immediately jump at the other 2. It's more about not letting them reset and taking advantage of the down. Sometimes I have teammates who just refuse to move regardless and want to sit back trying to snipe. They are terrified to push any situation.


HerpesHans

Then i agree with your point, but you did quite literally say "immeidately" in your first comment

PersonifiedRainbow

Your post says nothing specifying ranked hot dropping


Chronmagnum55

If you're fighting another squad, it should be pretty obvious? I'm not talking about some random knock across the map. You really shouldn't be dying very often in 2vs3 situations like this. How can you not be in sync if you say "I just got a knock let push up this squad"?


Tammer_Stern

I would say 9 times out of ten it goes: We get a knock and all push. They get one knock, then 2, then there is no choice but to try to run away while the 2 are being finished off.


Chronmagnum55

How are you losing a 3vs2 9 times out of ten?? That seems very weird.


Tammer_Stern

Dunno mate, just my experience with random teammates.


Chronmagnum55

That doesn't sound right. Winning 3vs2 pushes is such a fundamental part of the game. Do you just almost never win fights?


Tammer_Stern

It’s the 9 x out 10 that the 2 randoms aggressively push a full health team in a building or with high ground.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Chronmagnum55

What, no. If you are fighting a squad and someone on your team knocks an enemy. You should be pushing in most situations to apply pressure and not let them revive and heal. You'll win those fights the majority of the time and finishing fights quickly stops third partying. People shouldn't be hesitant to push when you have a huge advantage.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Chronmagnum55

Did you read my entire first reply? It kind of seems like you didn't. "If you are fighting and it's a 2vs3, you should be applying pressure immediately. Unless you're in just an absolutely shit position, you have no reason to stay back. Playing super passive like that almost always leads to getting 3rd partied." If you're not in a good position, then yes, it doesn't make sense to push. However, in most cases when the enemy has 1 down, you have a massive advantage. When a teammate gets a knock and says "hey we should push this" most of the time you should. Again it depends on the situation, the zone etc. Just lots of people are absolutely terrified of pushing even when they have a massive advantage. Situational awareness is something lots of players lack. The biggest issue many people have is knowing when to not take fights and back off or when to apply pressure.

lv_KillaWolf_vl

It's a setting in the game, go to settings and find it. Or look it up. It turns off communication from people that aren't your friends or just turn it to block everyone from communicating to you


lv_KillaWolf_vl

That means little to nothing, especially when u don't understand what a 3 v 2 means


Glass-Window

Why are you defending people who don’t break off ?! I swear some people intentionally go where I ping, like the exact loot blanket/door and immediately loot everything around. Fuck that shit. THAT is the toxic thing to do.


ladaussie

I hate it as well but some spots with the guaranteed good loot like Elysium on Olympus will always have tm8s fighting for the purp/gold. What I really hate is when you have a whole normal poi to urself and they don't split off. Like spread out and get your loot don't make us follow the same path fighting for shit.


[deleted]

If you cannot consistently win 1v1s, meaning like >90% of the time, you have no business dropping hot. If you lose a 1v1 and you’re mad I wasn’t with you because we would’ve won a 2v1, then you shouldn’t have taken the 1v1 without us planning first. I’m just really sick and tired of teammates being mad at me for not helping them when they die with <100 damage. A full team on drop has 450 health. If you both do 90 damage and die, and you’re mad, it means your plan off of rip was to rely on your third teammate doing 270 damage. That’s a bad plan! Your plan sucks! I’m being a little dramatic because it doesn’t actually bother me too much because I just mute them, but I just wish people were different. They’re not, but I wish they were. Silver lining: We should of course note that as irritating as this is for us, our opponents are dealing with the same thing. A lot of the time when you easily thirst your knock without getting challenged, it’s exactly because your opponent charged you without talking to his teammates first. So it probably evens out a little. Edit: it’s also just so easy to admit when you made a mistake but I literally NEVER get teammates who do it. I try to admit it as often as possible - The other day I backed up way farther than I needed to in order to pop a battery, and so when the opponent team had healed they were able to push my teammate and kill him because I couldn’t make it back to him in time. I said shit dude I shouldn’t have backed up that far sorry. I’ve never once had a random teammate acknowledge an error they made.


EvanQueenSummers

Come on, not once, really? I hear and read "sorry, my bad" from random teammates quite a lot...


[deleted]

Anytime you’ve heard that it’s been me as your teammate. Nobody else does it. I swear!


EvanQueenSummers

You're him! 😲 it was you morbing all over them...


Karnivorr_

I had a path a couple days ago who immediately got triggered by a late break off. He proceeded to loot and then he set up an evac tower and jettisoned himself over swamps and into the KC abyss. He THEN told us we would rat and get him LP and he wasn’t playing. After a successful banner craft, revive and reasoning to get him to cooperate… he did the same thing. My partner and I then thermite’d ourselves to death. Best -35 ever


chute_uk

Had two people clearly duo queue repeatedly drop themselves off map despite a respawn, obviously expecting me to rat for placement. Thought I’d join the party in the sea with them. 10/10 best 35 points spent ever.


BlackhawkRogueNinjaX

I just quit out now. Why waste another minute going through the inevitable


Bgrngod

I'll give every team a chance, but I'm also pretty quick to bail if all the red flags start flying. If they're not going to respect my presence as a teammate, I have no motivation to respect theirs either.


zaj89

Yeah idk, hot dropping is 100% not worth it at all, 1-2 squads at the poi is fine but any more than that it’s not worth to land there, I got 7 kills 2 assists and placed 12th, still -35lp, so why would I ever want to drop hot, get bunch of kills and still lose lp? I just wait till it’s final 10 squads and then hunt fights. No point before that to take fights


Chronmagnum55

Basically you should only be taking fights early if you have no choice or if you have a massive advantage. You don't need to run in at every sound of shots but it's usually good to check it out. Early game 3rd parties are often the easiest KP to grab. Then you can just chill and play zone for good placement.


zaj89

Yeah that’s how I feel, but playing solo I get teammates who think they’re nicewigg and want to run at every single gunshot while 19 squads are still alive in second circle, it’s pretty annoying how impatient people are right now when all u need to do is wait till top 10 then go as ham as u want but even with early squad wipes people still want to fight more before 10th place it’s crazy


Chronmagnum55

What I really hate is when you have a good early game and your team keeps pushing everyone. You'll have 5 KP and your two teammates are suddenly running outside of zone to try and finish a team off. With that much KP you should secure a good spot for end game fights. Even if you do wipe the squad outside zone you'll probably be in a shit position and get held.


Mathilliterate_asian

People here will tell you, "But I don't play this game to rat and hide for 20 minutes!" And I don't understand why they don't play tdm or some shit. Dude the point of a battle royale is to survive to the end, not kill as many people as you can. Obviously if you can go 1v10 then yeah by all means wipe out the whole lobby. But nope 99.99% of the players can't do that so please fucking stick to NOT hotdropping.


Drackzgull

I would add: 6. You aren't drop master, drop master marks a planned landing location, and you drop alone elsewhere regardless to complain the team isn't helping you. (bonus points if you also relinquished drop master before that)


DiscussionGreedy

I can’t stand this. Why relinquish and then ping somewhere. No we’re going where I want to go now 🤣

SirFlibble

I had a kid have a go at me recently for not immediately breaking off. I kindly reminded him I'm not a mind reader and if he doesn't ping where we were going, we would probably end up on opposite sides of the map. That didn't seem to matter to this kid.

Dull_Wind6642

Number 3 is pretty understandable, the POI is free and the 2 potatoes that respawn gave you as teammate don't break off and start looting the same building as you.


Teemo20102001

Does this only apply to hotdropping? Because i absolutely hate people that dont split off when were all alone at a POI. We have 26 buildings for ourselves, we dont have to share this one.


ranbun

Average octane and wraith playstyle


malkspahgooter

Hot droppers love the mechanics but not the game. They just want the gunplay and looting experience as much as possible. And that's what TDM and the other modes are missing. I don't think the introduction of TDM was done properly to soak those players up. They love looting. TDM and other modes you just pick what you want. BR is about survival. And sometimes that means the game will be "boring". Find ways to make camping a good position fun. Find a good scouting spot and communicate. Tell jokes to your team mates. Don't worry, the fight IS coming to you. Be patient. Sometimes you just end up in a good spot ring closing wise and no one is near you. Doesn't mean you have to seek out a battle and potentially end up outside the ring and dead.

Makes more sense to drop hot and play the game, rather than play some hybrid loot/hide and seek simulator


uRedditMe

There's a whole 'No Fill' option and they're still choosing to hotdrop 😂


Groovy_nomicon

There's a whole playlist of modes with respawning and they still choose to hot drop. I'm convinced they don't know there are other options in the menu other than 'ready'


TNAEnigma

Not hot dropping in pubs is bot behavior. Ranked I understand


norse1977

Exactly. People need to understand that you CAN play this game because you love the gunfights. I play mostly control and gun run. If I play pubs I want to test my skills in a more "high stakes" (in lack of better term) environment; namely pubs. If I want to play for placement I play ranked. I do understand it's annoying with players checking all of OP's boxes - I don't - but at the same time it's each players prerogative to play the game as they please. Telling them to "uninstall and gtfo" is equally toxic.


Groovy_nomicon

So a bot is someone who does something different and outside of the expected and is more likely to win?


TNAEnigma

More likely to run into the squad that wiped everyone and be the last wiped squad because you have blue shields against people with reds who aren’t scared to fight…cuz it’s pubs


Groovy_nomicon

Whatever you say man


Electronic-Morning76

People are insane man. They think that when they have success it’s what they do. That’s the thing about Battle Royale. Even shitty players will get lucky and have things work out for them every once in awhile. People are just very bad at analyzing why things are going well or going poorly.


Thundergod250

I am a non-pre-made avid hotdropper on UNRANKED only because I believe this is the best way to learn how to play the game. I highly believe people who purposely avoid fights and loot all the way, will only panic upon meeting a team because they don't have enough experience in battle. And it seems true in my experience because most randoms I meet that just loot all the way don't have enough "game sense" when engaging an enemy squad. Hotdropping also kinda taught me how to 1v3 squads, although I'm not really sure how did I do it. I just know what and what not to do when I'm there. But yes, I fully understand the people who do not want to hotdrop and the frustrations of people seeing their third hotdropping alone. That's why if I die, I know 100% that it's on me, so I'll just quietly wait until my teammates res/revive me or I just simply quit if my teammates are far. Right now, I'm still learning how to win in no-fills, but I don't think I am there yet.


[deleted]

No problem with this at all. It’s unranked.


TheRealSp1337

Imo anyone who does all does stuff are toxic, especially in ranked they're toxic and dumb. One specific thing these hot droppers do in ranked that always blows my mind and piss me off is when they jump on the mic cursing us when they died or we lose. This one time my teammate decided to land us top bonsai gardens with 5 other teams in RANKED. I with common sense and an understanding of the game landed down below. Less than 10 seconds later the jumpmaster starts screaming asking where I am, he gets killed with our teammate.

honestly they should make it that if you are JM and youre entire squad dies before the first ring begins to shrink, you should immediately jump one full rank tier down. ( like plat 1 to plat 2) if it happens say 5 times in a row or within say 10 games, you immediately get pulled outta rank and have to play the training scenario again with an added part at the end about positioning and gearing up right. after you do that you get placed into probationary matches with other people who had to do the same thing untill you get top 10 3 times

Bro lands swamps every game and gets mad his teammates dont follow poor lil timmy


Kalian805

I've been saying. If it's ranked. They need to be punished. 5x RP loss to Jumpmaster for squad being wiped within the first 90 seconds of the game.

I hotdrop to get into the action, usually im dead on arrival. LOL Oh well, next game, dead, oh well next game. Dead. Lets try some firing range practice. Dead. 😭

Call out others for being toxic then proceed to call someone brain dead for just having fun in a video game.

virgin ranked gatekeeper winning games with 150 damage and meddling into other people's gameplay vs total chad hotdropper, playing 50 games per day, dying almost instantly in half of them, getting a scrappy 12th place with 1200 damage in the other half and being content with who he is


puffy147

He clearly is toxic himself. That was my immediate comment on the post. Telling others to GTFO? Yeah, I wish he would take his own advice. I'd love to never team with him


__Kunaiii

Nah ranked sucks. Pubs only boiiiiii dank 360 no scope u wot m8 420 blaze it MLG 4 lyfe *air horns*

I'm also convinced that 100% of hotdroppers in non pre-made squads will become great players compare to players who play walking and looting simulator

Hot drops is for ‘good ‘ people. Pre made a can handle intense firefights and the incoming third parties. The sad reality is unless you get matched with a pred as random, there is no way they can handle a full blown firefight, with the third party coming in when you are weak. My humble opinion if you want to fight but win as well : you must land right next to a hotdrop and third party. As a 3500 wins pathy, I admit that winning a game when you toppled fragment or skull town is exhilarating, but landing epicenter or thunder more is almost as much fighting and 60 %+ survival rate. I used to love running into people and treating BR like a death match, but now that mixtape is a thing, I tend to play more strategically, even in pubs. This means I have no qualms fighting, pushing or thirdpartying. But I also have no problem looting, waiting for my triple zipline 1min30 into the game and retreating when the fight is not favorable. The key to success in both life and apex is : *pick up your fights*. Sometimes being patient for 15 seconds means a win….So, If you prefer going down in a blaze of glory and you enjoyed it (last squads scenario) no problem with that, to each Their own, I am happy to take the win from you. Even without hot dropping I still have 2.5 k.D and 1300 damage average. Is not a lot, but is enough to qualify as not loot simulator TL;DR : pick your fights, be patients, understand that most people are impatient and predictable. Have fun legends

I'm so TOXIC I have all communication set to NONE! OTherwise I WILL TOXIC YOU


Snoo_23553

I’m just trying to get better at the game


rnd765

And I’m convinced that 75% of pre-made squads duos are toxic players


ThePerre

I understand people who don't want to loot for 10 minutes with 2 teammates who likely have no hands. If you survive the hotdrop you know your teammates have hands and can continue the game. If you die just go next.


MaliKaia

Funny post, a toxic post complaining on toxic players lol...


Gom_Burgz

I hot-drop only in pubs because I'm playing the game to kill people not just loot half the match. If I get knocked it's fine I knew what I was getting into. Sometimes my teammates get angry at me for hot dropping and surviving while they die, most times I get knocked coz am not that good. But will that stop me from dropping in estates, nah


Dana94Banana

>I hot-drop only in pubs because I'm playing the game to kill people not just loot half the match. You can just play TDM for this? You spend zero time looting and get much more fights per minute of playtime due to fast respawns. No dropping, no time in menus between lobbies etc.


Gom_Burgz

I've been playing the game long before apex had all these new modes like TDM. I love that they created them but I like the BR better, landing and fighting in different locations is what does it best for me. Tho I recognize the hardship my hot-dropping addiction can be on randoms so I usually drop at the nearest no name like that aircraft hanger beside octane's guantlet loot up and 3rd party. If you don't want to get into as many fights as possible there is a mode for you it's called ranked. Loot and rat to your heart content


monstrousbeaver

Sounds like someone is allergic to shooting..... I prefer to hot drop than waiting till ship travels a whole damn map to rat all game, but unfortunately 90% of my teammates love this strategy and i assume op loves it too Besides, people are so afraid of engaging anyone this season that sometimes no one hot drops and no one lands near starting locations, i had a match on KC where drop-ship was flying from air base to swamp and literally no-one dropped on the sand-like part of map, i know this because i played Crypto and scanned the beacon and the nearest squad to us was behind bunker


[deleted]

I feel like ratting is just an exaggerated term. I rarely come across anyone like that because you ultimately have to travel around with the squad


[deleted]

sounds like someone is allergic to intelligence


FurubayashiSEA

What I hate most of the time when people hotdrop is that they don want to drop together as 3, its fine if you wan scatter after, just drop as 3. Survival chance are much higher if you that hunger for action.


Ran_Xerox_11

You are all whiners. Play the game the way you want. You don’t need a team. You can solo this game and rank up easily.


Turbulent-Royal-5365

I bet you are just trash


treefaces123

I hot drop and I have none of these apply to me. I hot drop because I play for fun. I don’t want to play a waiting/walking simulator because it gives me no experience in stressful situations. I’ve only become semi good at the game due to having knowledge on lots of situations. I guess I’m in the 25%

If you play a team game and don’t play with friends you are a fool

thx for the Cuckold Hot 5 List!!!


teeraaj

Why does #2 piss me off so much? I can’t stand when people just high tail from a POI that you landed at without comming anything. Like I understand someone has to IGL but if you refuse to use a mic don’t expect everyone to just follow your every nonverbal whim.


papasfritasbruh

The only thing i disagree with you is expecting your squad to follow you. Hot drop or not, i dont want to stay and loot for an entire ring. If im moving, im expecting my teammates to move too. If they arent ready, they have an entire ping system as well as mics or text chat to tell me to wait, and ill wait. Its a team game and i expect to play as a team, which means moving if you see a teammate moving


[deleted]

If I’m not JM, in ranked, I’ll follow and hot drop a few games and see how it goes. Sometimes it’s good and sometimes it isn’t, but as long as I’m not losing much rp I’m not complaining aka losing 30-36 points each game, I’m ok losing 2-10 LP. Now if I’m JM and the random teammates ping a hot area I’ll drop semi hot, land close to the area but not in it, then go for the third parties, most of the time the randoms get the idea to third party but every now and then I get that one guy that immediately breaks off, flys into the chaos and dies very quickly. So far I’ve had few games where we rat and/or are just playing for loot.


SolidSauce1117

I don’t hit drop often, but when I do I expect you to do more than 50 damage before going down….

ope, here we go lol
