Re: TAKE OUT the HEALTH BAR PLEASE!!!!!

@EPS1234 Maybe they could have an advanced mode that doesn't have it.

I actually like the healthbar and the red vision because the game has a bad problem of damage not registering and players not being visible. The way the game used to be it made it way too hard for new or casual players. These new features make it easier for new people to pick up the game, and for casual players to know how much damage they are doing.

    New players are not supposed to go into a game and just start destroying people you’re not supposed to cater to them to make it so easy for them. That’s the whole point of a game is to get better and master it. I don’t understand why we’re giving everybody a passive that alter had when you went through her portal it doesn’t even make sense. It literally was a Passive/ability for a certain legend, and they just gave it to everybody.  If anything this needs to be taken out of ranked ALSO thinking about it it was also half of Seers Q it’s an ability now everyone has it for free. Why?

    @EPS1234The whole point of a game is to make money. How does a company do this? By adding more players. Apex is over 5 years old and it's absolutely brutal for new players to try the game. This will help them a bit. Proper MM would do a lot more tho!

    Personally I think the change is just ok. I like not having to do math. I like that I wont get fake "hes one" calls. Anyone decent or even average at the game already knew whether they should jump on a player or not.

    They gave my 12 year old a trophy for losing their baseball game too, and I couldn’t believe it I wanted to take it away because I asked him every day to go out and practice, but he didn’t wanna practice. He wanted to stay in and play on his tablet. Why do we wanna make it easier for everybody?

    @EPS1234 When he lost did he blame the setup of the sport or the umpire? Probably not since everyone is playing by the same rules with the same opportunity to improve.

    You’re missing the entire point not everyone is on the same Plainfield played 3000 hours on MNK. The movement is so much better both have their pros and * i’m not complaining about the aim assist I could care less about it. I’m complaining about the giant health bar that everybody sees that should be in ability for a legend that was already in ability for a legend, giving it to everybody. Doesn’t make sense again, it’s an ability for two legends it’s half of Sears Q it’s in ability when you go through alters portal why does everybody have it?

    @EPS1234 I didn't say anything about AA so not sure why you went there. What I meant was that you are playing by the same rules as your enemy. Use the health bar to your advantage. You both have access.

    Personally it hasn't affected my play at all. Anyone with any experience at all that can add knows when you are low. The only place I see this making any difference is approaching 3rd party shoots and sees low health but even then if I shot you and see flesh or quick crack, I'm moving in. I've never been a prolonged fight person. Either I die or kill quickly.

    Adding more visual clutter doesn't help either. 

    First the damage numbers are the color of the shield, two - the shield makes a specific sound when cracked. And three - once cracked everyone should know by now there is 100 health left, which depletes within milliseconds. If ppl cant figure out where someone's health is after the shield is crack and they have done damage... I don't know what I can say at that point. 

    There is even an option in the settings menu to choose your counter type for damage, stacking et cetera. 

    The health bars added and battle sense makes no sense for this game, especially being 5 years old. If these two aspects were even a remotely decent idea... they would have been implemented years ago. 

    Me personally the health bar is meh. I can disable it thank god, which I do. 

    The battle sense is a step backwards.

    @ComicBookGuy2727 agreed. i really dont like both features... and the revival in pubs is the worst, thats not a BR anymore... how can this be our only pubs mode... i dont get it... instead of gaining more gamemodes as we wanted we are loosing basic ones that every BR has.... for gods sake this is a br game... HOW CAN RANKED BE THE ONLY REAL BR?!?!?!?

    My point exactly I’m gonna try it off today see if it’s better I just know the only reason they did it is for casuals who play for a hour don’t spend money they just want there numbers up at least take it out in Ranked would be a good compromise. And the guy who commented below on the new mode, I agree with him it’s not battle Royale. It’s ridiculous people just spawn back in and spawn back in and either you keep killing them or eventually they get lucky and you die or you get fourth third sixth partied it in call of duty It was good because there was no abilities to escape or hide invisible
