Before you buff bloodhound


Keep Apex as a BR. Bring down pace a bit to fav team buildup/comm/ strategies vs shoot-them up. The pace puts off a number of players to go back to apex (cannot bring back friends who played the first 4 seasons) 

It is inevitable that Bloodhound will be buffed based on encounter win rate and pick rate. But before you do, realise the last update for bloodhound was already BUFF. This means a number of OP characters need to be brought to balance.

As he is, bloodhound is at the level he was buffed a couple of seasons ago (and considered OP). This means many other characters got overly buffed since. The out of balance is exacerbated by the following. 

OP perks nobody asked which is almost a cheat

  • red highlights of enemies for recon and others after upgrade. I would understand bloodhound to have it but not others
  • 50 shield regen for skirmishers - totally unnecessary (like if they are not OP already)
  • pls dont introduce nonsense perks like dash and double jumps or the like to more characters 
  • revives at box is too easy/ fast ( should only be available if eg found a yellow knock down shield or equivalent)
  • too easy to get purple armor + no need helmet anymore
  • autoshield regen other than watson
  • remove overflow healer

OP characters who needs treatment (priority list)

  • Axle pad which can moves the entire team
  • Axle drone with too much HP and no conter
  • Seer stunning on scan
  • Gibraltar speed (now faster than octane)

rebalance gunfight vs character abilities

  • Almost impossible to get away without being scanned by Seer or Bloodhound every one min in final circles (ults should be restricted in final circles to maximise strategy vs luck)
  • impossible to finish a fight without an Axle team or octane team or a pathfinder team third party (time to 3rd party too fast now)

    Personally, I miss the seasons before 21 or even 19 (the introduction of Conduit, then Alter). I remember how terrible season 19 was because Conduit was very OP for a while, and there were a lot of cheaters roaming the map back then.

    I miss the first seasons, where the TTK was longer, mobility was lower, and you had more time to react, strategize, and so on.

    Now? Now, choose Skirmisher and enjoy the game. Most legends, especially those without mobility, are practically unplayable.

    Now the game is just about one thing - break the enemy's shield, use "Q" Axle to move the entire team to you and die in a split second because you won't be able to escape and you won't have time to heal.

    I also don't understand why some legends can choose a class ability from another group of legends as a perk.

    For example, why would you need a controller in your team when you can choose a Pathinder or Vantage for that perk, which are simply much better in-game than controllers because they also have better mobility, because Apex is crucial in the current situation. Some legends lose their meaning when one legend can have the abilities of both a skirmisher and a controller, or e.g. a recon and a controller.

    I completely don't understand the balance of this game. I feel like everything would have to be rebuilt from scratch, because it's become a huge mess that Respawn has completely lost control of.
