[Megathread] Season 6 Feedback
Hello everyone, i want to share my opinion after playing some games in Season 6. First of all i want to start with legends buffs/nerfs: Legends: I saw a topic in legend feedback section, there were ...
Forum Discussion
Main feedback for the season is:
Map
It's cool! I really prefer world's edge like this. The moving blast walls in some POIs are really fun and I hope maps get more dynamic, interactive areas like that.
Change to EVO shields
Undecided, but I feel like this takes out the risk/reward that used to be associated with taking an EVO over normal armor, which I found really interesting as a mechanic. It also encourages long-range poke, especially with the new TTK, which gives snipers more space in the meta (which I can get behind).
Ultimately, though: now that armor stages are heavily tied to the damage points racked up on individual EVOs, EVO progression should be visible on the looting screen and any EVO with more progression should be unlocked loot. Being able to quickly assess available armors and swap them out should be part of the post-fight looting phase.
TTK changes
In terms of making the game enjoyable, to me, this is good, because I can sustain way longer in the casual mode if I can down out-of-position players before they get a shot in, which is happening way more often now 😛 hotdrops are ridiculously easy if the gun I get is even half decent and I can keep forcing 1v1s.
In terms of keeping the game alive, though, this is obscenely punishing to new or returning casual players that don't play in a pre-made. You should've maybe trialled this in an LTM before adding it officially, as I don't think it's going to be great for the majority of players long-term. Not everybody wants to sweat 24/7. Hell, *most* players outside of ranked don't. If you give absolutely nobody room to make mistakes then the game will turn into a slog for a lot of people, and it's not as though it was especially difficult to punish mis-play previously.
@purps7m "If you give absolutely nobody room to make mistakes then the game will turn into a slog for a lot of people" That's what I'm really finding as one of those casual players who doesn't have much time to play. I'm getting instantly killed before I can even get a shot off roughly 70% of the time - with snipers doing so much damage, before I can even react to getting shot the first time there's a second shot fired and flying at me lots of the time. Or I'm turning a corner and meeting someone with a Devotion or Volt that melts me before I can go back around the corner.
I'm bad at shooters, I 100% admit that, I don't expect that to ever change, my reaction speed is horrible, my aim would make your average streamer cry, and I honestly don't know if I'd be able to make it past low-silver if I tried ranked. But I still want to play Shooters, and I don't think it's unreasonable to ask that I can stand a fighting chance of getting a shot off before I die in a unranked, casual gamemode.
