Is there a reason delay was added when switching shields/health?

So I've noticed ever since season 5 started, all of a sudden if you change from a small shield cell to a shield battery and press the button to use the item (I'm on ps4 so in this case its "up" for m...

@MoNosDirtyGaming Yeah that's gotta be rough for controller.

I play on m/k and deleted that key, so I just hit 5(syringe) 6(medkit) 7(cell) 8(bat) 9(phoenix). No more messin with that wheel mid fight. 4 now selects grenades.

It's crazy cause I see pro m/k players still using that wheel and select wrong item mid fight, wasting precious seconds.

    @Pure_Funk_Nugget TBH i was fine with the wheel, this stupid delay added in is just another problem which apex didn't need at all.

      @MoNosDirtyGaming I think that causes the melee punch when you equip a weapon and try to fire too soon, that might be same delay you are experiencing.

        @Pure_Funk_Nugget I've never actually ever experienced accidentally punching like that. I believe it is another hidden delay added on purpose to just help the new players. It doesn't seem like a big issue but when you're in ranked and have to micro-manage your heals/shields and constantly go to pop a batt and it decides to pop a shield cell 2-3x in a row when you're mid gunfight, it is actually horrible.
