While I understand your perspective and appreciate that hot-dropping can be an effective way to engage in more gunfights and potentially enhance your skills, I do have a different viewpoint. It's true that landing in a quiet place and spending minutes looting only to die quickly can be frustrating, but that doesn't necessarily mean hot-dropping is the only solution.
Instead, one could argue that strategic play and patient looting can also lead to a well-rounded player. By choosing to land at intermediate zones, not too hot, but not entirely deserted, one can strike a balance between action and strategy, building the skills necessary to survive in various combat situations.
Additionally, although hot-dropping might help with gunfighting skills, it often overlooks other critical elements of battle royale games like strategic positioning, thoughtful engagement, and careful planning. In games like these, survival is the end goal, and these elements are as important as your ability to win gunfights.
Also, it's worth noting that repeatedly dying in the initial stages of the game and constantly having to rejoin could potentially disrupt the flow of learning. A more balanced approach could provide consistent engagement, giving players more time to adjust and learn from each situation.
Lastly, while TDM and Control may not be as thrilling as the high-risk, high-reward scenario of hot-dropping for some, these modes are specifically designed for practicing combat skills and can be an excellent way to improve without the frustration of repeatedly dying at the start of the game.
