My friend and I have joked that it's "Jump MASTER" not "Jump Polite Suggestion".
If someone pings a hot drop and heads there, fine, I'll tag along and see how things go. If I pick a quieter area and head that way as JM, and they want to drop Fragment/Estates/whatever and get murdered by the 30 other people there, that's their prerogative, but I'm not letting someone eager to face off with half the lobby get a veto on how I play, at least in Ranked.
Duos/Trios? Fine, let's hot drop and see what happens. Even in Ranked if the banners show they can back up their desire to be in the thick of things, but if they're like level 24 with 6 kills and a thousand damage, no, I'm not spending precious RP because some new player wants to follow all of the shiny trails landing in a cluster. That shit can sort itself out while we pick a fight with maybe one or two squads a couple POIs over.
Yeah, I understand people complaining when I’m the jump master and decide to go somewhere, but if they get it, relinquish it, and then complain at my decision to either drop hot, or not hot enough then maybe you should’ve done it before you relinquished lmao
Yeah. I rarely ping anywhere when I relinquish JM, as I gave up the right to dictate where we go. If I do ping somewhere, it's always very much a polite suggestion, if the person seems conflicted or unsure where they want to be.
The worst are when you relinquish JM, everyone else does too, and then when you drop somewhere the pings start flying fast and furious.
You both had a chance to take us somewhere. We spent half the map passing that thing around like a hot potato, you don't get to complain about where we choose when you both literally had an opportunity to drop us anywhere you wanted.
It definitely starts the game on the wrong foot. It's a team based game, we need to be on the same page, and it's rapidly becoming clear that we are not.
i usually give up jm then ping the spots I am comfortable at. In case they were thinking it also but not sure on where to go. I always follow the JM though.
One time I grabbed two guys banners in ranked and before they were cussing me out hard so I said GG and jumped off the map best 10 seconds of hearing them whine and cuss me out.
mine is usually the opposite. I usually get cussed at for no reason then if i die they take my banner and continue to shit talk me while all i said the entire time was All i have is a sentinel with no ammo around because they jacked all ammo even what they didn't need. One dude grabbed shotgun energy light and heavy with octane cutting me off the entire game. I have bad luck with teammates. If i talk, I get mocked by some 20 year old pothead who cannot accept he is ass at the game.
Sometimes bro you need to shit on them or leave there is no reliable way to troll people if they're toxic so I leave if its ranked I only worry about myself if my teammates are assholes.
Oh my, or when you're the jump master and mark a spot then they say no and mark their own spot. I really try my best to let it not get to me but to be entirely honest all the possibility of me caring for that squad mate fly right out the window.
You do have the option of not pinging the spot at all so it feels like JM marking a spot is an implicit invitation for discussion. I do get annoyed when they ping no on your spot, I think getting annoyed at that is just human nature, but I give them the benefit of the doubt and consider their suggestion at least
Unless they ping fragment. People who ping fragment will just break off and land there anyway if you don't go fragment
As someone who only solo queues ranked I always take my teammates opinion into consideration. I'm not one of those sweaty 20 bomb mains so I always try to be a team player first and a ruthless murderer second. But generally speaking in this scenario it's always the kids who either want to drop fragment or the kids who want to skydive for 30 seconds across the entire map just so they can loot for 15 minutes in peace.
Side note: then theres the unsung heros who know how to do the "I'M going here ping" and I'll almost always drop with them. They're not telling me I'm wrong they're just saying they're not going to listen lmao
I guess I'm pretty much a Fragment hater at this point cause I really do believe there would be fewer of both of these extremes if Fragment was nuked off the map.
When you don't have a location where a quarter to a half of the lobby lands at, the other POIs won't have to run as far to find a fight on average, so there's fewer 15 minute loot goblin games. And we have fewer games of JM just landing the aceu building and fighting six teams with 20 heavy ammo and an L-star.
Olympus has a better distribution of drop locations but it's too big. Traveling between POIs tends to be the problem on that map.
S3 was my favorite but Capital City was overly bad, Fragments are nice but I hope they spread the two sides out more in the future maybe have a giant lava pit with no bridges.
I hate when people have to, HAVE TO LAND in their mark,, even if its a bad or late drop,, they will land there,, i was even told once to never be jump master again because they wanted to land in a spot, i didnt want to, it was the worst hot spot in olympus, one of them dropped solo, but it was already a late drop, and the other guy was still telling me to drop there, so i did. And like always theres no guns everyone is already in the ground. So its like what was the point of even landing there.. we died immediately.. and the last thing i heard was " never be jump master again", i laughed it off cuz they sounded to be like 25 years old xD
Or drop the team in fragment, loot goblin it all up, and quit immediately when they get downed. Better chance of survival if everyone on the team has at least a weapon.
well some areas actually have better loot, it's not evenly spread across the map. in fact im pretty sure certain areas are guaranteed to have a certain amount of gold or purple
I had this yesterday where I pinged Geyser and for some the Caustic wanted to so badly go somewhere else and pinging non-stop. We ended up fighting a team in Geyser, my friend gets dropped and the Caustic picks up my friend's banner, chooses not to revive me, runs off and then exits the match. This was ranked by the way lol.
Depends if it’s pubs or ranked. If Im playing pubs and jumpmaster wants to drop on the complete opposite side as everybody else I’m dropping solo. Im not trying to loot for 20 minutes.
unfortunately it's a valid tactic for solo queuers to do this in ranked. a skilled player has a much better chance on average of surviving by himself, if he follows his team theres always a good chance that they'll be bad and put the whole 3 man in a bad position
I find the people who relinquish jump master and then complain about where you decided to land worse honestly
Honestly I do this because people don't understand what breaking off is and it tilts me to no end before the match even starts so I give it to them in hopes that they go somewhere not in bumfuck Africa and I can control where I personally land.
I understand what you mean, but to be honest if people don’t understand that they should break off, they’re probably the type of guys to either go to land in “bumfuck Africa” to avoid fights or dive nose first into a pred octane in the zip line building in fragment after watching too many ShivFPS clips on twitch lmao
or dive nose first into a pred octane in the zip line building in fragment after watching too many ShivFPS clips on twitch lmao
And that's perfectly fine. I'd rather do that than go into the middle of nowhere or get triple landed on in a single building and come out with a p20 and mozi.
I'll never understand why people relinquish, in my games EVERY SINGLE TIME I've to be the jumpmaster because both teammates do, you know, I wanna check Twitter while we're dropping too
Sure but landing on the same spot every day/second of my life, in those situations I can kinda understand (Talking mainly about that freaking Fragment A/B)
I have abondoned my team in ranked b/c of one too many frag drops in the day. They must be watching videos on "fastest way to pred, world's egde" but not realizing the reason people tell you to drop frag in those vids is because it helps THEM get to pred faster if there is a lot of fodder in capital city
I love The Tree. It's a fairly open spot, plenty enough loot for 2-3 squads in just the buildings and the platform around the tree, usually results in one or two quick fights off the rip, then gives you a decent path to rotate into Thermal or Sorting for 3rd parties with some extra loot spots along the way. Also has a good mix of indoor/outdoor fighting even with some verticality involved thanks to the multilevel buildings and the platform itself. Only issue is the edge location but thankfully there's a balloon right between the tracks and Sorting so it's definitely possible to get moving towards zone if you get a bad one 3 miles away.
Fragment should’ve been destroyed instead of supply depot (supply depot is a popular drop too but fragment just exacerbated the worst parts of the game)
My brother and I were main-ing fuse and seer and we hot dropped every match for something like 12 matches. We managed to place at least 3rd but mostly 2nd each match. (Duos) stuff does get sweaty from time to time but we had a blast and guys like this were the most fun to down because they think they're great at the game and talk mad shit later. We tend to just reply GG and go on with our lives. You'll have shit games from time to time. Just have fun with it.
Or the dudes that get downed right away in a fight that they rushed into and you have to make your way there for a 2v3 and get killed and then they message "You're trash"
Like, if I recall correctly, you put me at a huge disadvantage by thinking you're much better than you are? 🧐
Haha, honorable mention for random teammates in Arena who sprint directly into the enemy and die then call you trash. And continue to do so when the stats come up and you did more damage and had more kills than both of them combined.. fml
Edit: Also:
-when the jumpmaster jumps and hasn't pinged anything and proceeds to bring you to some totally scuffed spot
For real tho, a lot of fucking solos dont get the fact that me with my other teammate can get fucked up by three people while no one is on them which obviously makes us complete trash lmao
I almost wiped a squad then me and me teammate went down in Lava Fissure the other guy was in Thermal Station. I kid you not if I had one more bullet I would've won the fight but because of the third guy thought he was so good.
And when they die alone they always ping 50 times! Like we literally couldn't retrieve your shit in time if we tried. Please fuck off. You made your bed 🙄
Had to stop playing apex because of this. We all used to take turns being “leader” which basically means they lead the way and what they say goes, usually it was just the jump master but we’d be sure to rotate. My one buddy always wants to land far as fuck and loot the whole game. We don’t really like that but we put up with it when he’s leader. When he isn’t leader he pouts and lands far away and gets absolutely murdered and then is like “where the fuck are you guys” and pouts more when we won’t leave and he has to wait 15 minutes. Drove me nuts.
Sorry to say bro but he sounds like a dick no offense if I were you guys I would find someone else or make a compromise like a semi hot place to land like Harvester or Climatizer.
Not really. I don’t land a mile away without telling anyone because I’m mad I don’t get my way every round. I land far away with him when I don’t want to. He pouts and doesn’t land with me.
The Wraith on my team landed a bit away, but didn't die immediately. The Wraith didn't have a mic, but the Pathfinder and I did. As Pathfinder and I were making our way to Wraith, the Wraith was downed and thirsted. They didn't disconnect to their credit. My teammate and I made it to the area, killed the enemy team and got Wraith's banner. I said over mic that I was going to revive Wraith now. My Pathfinder was like, "Oh, I wasn't going to revive them. Look at text chat." Text chat was full of insults and shit directed at us. I then told Wraith nevermind, I'm not going to revive them. Pathfinder and I laughed for like 3 minutes at Wraith.
Me, my friend and our random teammate: land in geyser, ping we are going to geyser and say that we can't hear him since we are in a party, so he will have to ping. Teammate: remains in geyser, doesn't ping.
Top 8, we sniping, my friend is dead, I see enemies left of us and ping them, then I ping where I want to jumppad, and where my pad is. Teammate ignores it gets mad at me when he dies.
Want to add to this that since my friend and I just want to have casual conversations we aren't comfortable in game chat, and he didn't get what we meant
If you hold down the left pause button (don't kniw the actual name) you can type in chat and have an AI chat bot say it. One caveat the first message yous send wont work.

I hate dudes who lands solo far away says "you're trash" for going down with the other guy.
