Gold Armor

Alright, let's get down to it.

I know the Gold armor ability sucks, you know it sucks.

So how about some ideas on something better to actually make it desirable to pick up.

Was chatting in a stream today and hear a couple good ideas for better abilities.

One good one I heard was giving a 1 Bar shield refill on knocked down opponents. Or even a 20% refill if that seems too strong then just rename the Armor to "The Slayer" instead of "The Executioner".

Another Idea that was passed around was just a flat 5% or 10% damage reduction. Something really small but still better than the current ability.

Another possibility could be an small 10% increase to movespeed.

I'd be interested to hear others' ideas as well. Because we all know something should be done to make the Armor a valuable pick up.

    I like this idea! OR, make it to where you can't take damage during executions! If your teammate can't steal your kill while doing an execution, why should an enemy get a free kill?


    I think making the player invincible during that time wouldn't be the solution because it could lead to some abuse and weird game mechanics. In example, if I'm in a situation where I'm circled with grenades and have no chance of survival, near a downed enemy, I could just start the animation until the nades explode.

    Then I thought, maybe reducing the incoming damage by let's say 50% could do the trick. The thing is it's going to impact gameplay a bit since, just like the stated scenario, starting the animation could be used a way out of some sort of situations.

    Thank you for the feedback on this! If you have any thoughts on what you feel would make Level 4 body shields more appealing feel free to keep the discussion going. Executing a knocked down enemy with a finishing move can be risky to perform so I completely understand where there's some thoughts around that. Having the smoke from Bangalore or shield from Gibraltar can always help, but it can't always come down to that.

    Good luck in the ring!
