Gold knockdown change ideas
Obviously a lot of people are saying the gold knockdown has to go cos endgame in competitive play it can give a squad unfair placement even though they were all knocked. Also in pubs not enough peopl...

@UnwarierSquid16 The trade off with the gold knockdown is that it’s easy to thirst someone who has it.
The revive time is also longer than normal, so it really isn’t that much of an unfair advantage.

The problem with the Golden Knockdown shield is that it ain't healthy for the Pro Scene and Scrims.
It rewards the team that lost a fight. The team that knockdowns all three of the enemies but get third party will actually lose. What happens is the team that won the fight ends up with 3rd placement and they don't get the kill credit for the 3 knockdowns they got. The team that third party them will get 1st place and finish off the knockdown people even though they don't get the kills off those people. No one gets the kills off the knockdown people and those knockdown people with the Golden Revive Shield will actually get a better placement which in this example is 2nd place.
It's pretty stupid and there are times where the Ring Kills everyone except the person with the Golden Knockdown shield. Luck base and no skill whatsoever.
The devs need to find a way to change that aspect of the Golden Knockdown shield so it doesn't reward you from losing a team fight.
How they'll change it remains the question, but I have faith in the developers.
They changed Fast Heals for the Golden Armor which was actually broken despite most players not wanting to admit that Fast Heals was too overpowered. Now it is a balanced perk with the double heals from small heals. Makes Lifeline somewhat more useful too as she best with it.
- @Leo_the_Lion25 Well the fast heals on gold armor was nice because whoever was Lifeline usually traded with someone who had purple because she didn't "need" the fast heals.
But, gold knockdown shields are easy enough to find, just finish your kills. So what if you get 3rd partied, that is how this game is (PS: adding sarcasm because I made an entire thread of 3rd partying and everyone told me "who cares")- @SolitaryMassacre I just explain the problem with Golden Knockdown Shields. And you replied with a casual comment.
Exactly why it getting reworked.
