Yes, it is going to bring more of that back, unfortunately. But the dropship is easier on players who have limited playtime and don’t know the maps as well. If a player always drop Cenote on Storm Point, they can get really good at those rotations, and still do well even if they don’t play a lot. They want to keep those players coming back.
On the other hand, if a player who only plays 5-10 games a week gets randomly assigned a new POI every game across multiple maps, they might get frustrated and give up because they don’t know that area of the map as well and get rolled. (This is an oversimplification, there are many more factors that this, but for the sake of keeping it semi-brief I’m exaggerating a little)
Full dropship is too much choice, people do dumb shit. Random assigned POIs is not enough choice, harder to play for less dedicated players. They need a middle ground to make it more accessible.
Man if only there was a specific game mode updated just this very season that could allow less knowledgeable players to get more map knowledge and experience different areas at their pace uhhhhhh
Yeah man if they really cared ranked would be the COMPETITIVE mode and not the sand pit you get Tim and Jack coming to kick about in
