Inventory Change and Loot nerfs
The purpose behind this patch was to reduce grenade spam at the end of the match, the idea is fine but I think the nerf of ammo from 80 to 60 is an extremely bad move. Even reducing the amount of shi...

I feel like they should revert something either/or.
The nade change was fine, but either revert the ammo change OR the med/shield change. I would prefer changing the meds stacking back because if they are trying to encourage more sniping/poking, more meds are required. Its too hard to carry enough cells/meds to poke now.
Overall increasing the inventory with the intention of nerfing nade spam probably did it's job, but the rest of the changes just hurt your ability to play the game really. Runs out too fast.
What they planned or rather announced publicly is that they want to stop nade spam at the end of the game but what they did was just make the games and players more defensive. I personally think I'd never attack any squad or play offensively once I reach top 5 because I am bound to run out of either ammo or heal. They just took away the intensity and aggressive playstyle of the matches.
Also grenade spam had been a part of the game where both parties could grenade spam but if someone chose more ammo over nades and then after getting rekt with 4 grenades they start complaining that since I don't carry nades I should not be spammed with and force players to carry more ammo. The entire update imo ain't cool.
They could probably have added a grenade throwing time or cooldown time where it takes a few seconds for the grenade to charge and then throw in order to let people skip past them instead of doing this 1:1 grenade slot change and other inventory changes.
