Evac Tower

Before evac towers, being pinned down by 2 teams is a death sentence. Now though, we've been able to escape multiple times. 

I've seen the reverse of this too where we've maneuvered to attack a team running from the ring closing, but then they just fly over.

I've been in multiple games where we're having a nice battle with a team, and 2 other teams land on top of us.

Having 3 towers propelling teams into the sky at the last ring closure was a bit ridiculous too.

Killing an evac tower takes some 5 or more magazines, which is a ton of damage.

They're cool and all. There are just so many that I sometimes place one to pick up another and fly away.

I haven't touched a heat shield in days. Imo the only reason to use one now is to loot a death box outside the ring. Otherwise it's too easy to beat the ring closure with the towers.

This could just be from the point of view of someone who dislikes playing movement characters though. Maybe if I played them more, I wouldn't think about positioning. /Shrug.

I feel the towers just make the game more chaotic/luck based and less predictable/strategic. But I also think Apex likes their game being more fast paced high reflex and less strategic like war games.
