@Marge010Well skulltown will be back next season so this problem will only worsen.
This is just the pubs mentality. You won’t see more than 4 squads in frag in high plat+ rank lobbies.

@Marge010Oh, don't get me wrong, I hate that half the lobby (if not more) hot-drops Frag. I just have no idea how Respawn can avoid that, since people will just migrate to the next popular spot. I feel that, even if they completely destroyed Frag like they did Skulltown, people will just converge elsewhere. In my lobbies on KC, everyone used to drop Skulltown, but the hot-drop seemed to migrate to Containment when they nuked it.
I genuinely have no idea how they could address the hot-drop issue, since it comes down to personal choice of the players. Any solution I can think of, would just cause people to migrate to another spot. I think hot-dropping, as annoying as it is, is just an unfortunate by-product of the BR genre, along with 3rd party deaths, Lol
As for the POI's, I'm cool with the current roster. For me, Refinement got better, and Sorting Factory broke even or slightly improved. My other two regular drops have been unchanged so far (please leave Lava Fissure and Thermal Station alone!!!!). I don't go to Frag, so I don't even worry about it.
@Cheese9Man Your idea of adding drop ships, is probably the best suggestion I've seen yet. Not sure how much it would actually change, since the players are the issue, but this seems like a better idea than nuking POI's and whatnot

@dSKyNafinchinI also suggest thinking of why players hot drop in the first place. These hotdrop henry’s want instant fights. Adding team deathmatch into the game might quench their thirst for blood.
Another reason is how short queues are in apex. Even if they go back to the lobby, in just a few seconds, they’re already loading into the next game. I suggest Respawn loosen up the matchmaking a bit so that people wait longer. Probably effect is that there will be less hotdropping and better MM results.
Or I could be wrong in all of these suggestions. Not defending hotdroppers, just looking for another solution that isn’t a temporary one like nuking POIs.

I think I must be in different types of lobbies to you guys because this season is the worst I have ever seen this. People used to drop a lot at fragment but its so much worse this season. I honestly believe that every teammate I get tries to die as quickly as possible. By the time I drop and find a weapon, both my teammates have died and quit the game.
I have to play duos on worlds edge now because I can't fight a squad of 3 on my own. In duos I have a slightly better chance but I am tired of playing solo 9 out of 10 games on this map

My mixed feelings on Fragment is I hate it, and pretty much there's always places on every map that hot droppers are going to go. On WE, we pretty much know all of what Fragment is about. If it gets removed, somewhere else is going to become the new Fragment. Skull Town proved that with KC
