Disasterous Update

I try not to listen to the doomers that seem to pervade every Apex discussion. For them Apex is constantly dying and every change is always wrong. I played the game a ton last season, and I had a lot of fun. But this update is absolutely disastrous and I hope it isn't indicative of things to come. The logic as I read it, is that some of the guns were better than others and so the choice was made to... buff every gun in the game? Does that logic make any sense to anyone at all? Just buff the weaker guns or nerf the stronger ones. This entire update is inexplicable other than for the people who work on the game to say "wow look at all the cool changes we made". Like changing the perfectly functioning lobby or how people spectate. There's just no reason to do that. The TTK changes make the game unplayable for me. As a Horizon main, I loved the skirmisher play style where I could engage a team and escape quickly using a combination of my tactical and passive. That's gone now, in favor of short COD style engagements where strategy is out the window and whoever shoots first usually wins. There's a reason Warzone went out of style. The quick reflex style combat fits games like Valorant and Counterstrike, but it's not why people play Apex. Maybe the doomers are right this time. 

Oh and it would also be nice for the badges to get fixed. They've disabled the damage hammer and 20 kill badge in unranked since like the middle of last season. I'm not getting 20 anytime soon but it kinda sucks to put up 3K damage and not get the badge.
