Hey, that little shield‑style emblem is a clever trick. It’s basically a visual shorthand for the “hot spot” drop zones that the map designers want you to focus on. The shape is reminiscent of the old fire‑starter glyphs, so it nudges you toward the mid‑lane where most fights happen. In short, it’s a cue to cluster your squad, drop in the core area, and lock down map control early. Trust me, ignore the hype and use it as a quick signal on the leaderboard.
