Re: Apex's biggest problems

I think a lot of the body shield issues could be solved by removing some of the tiers.  Why are there 4 tiers?  The disparity between the top and the bottom needs to be reduced.  I think two tiers would be plenty sufficient...or you change the abundance of mid tier shields.  I think the gold shields added benefit is unnecessary as well.

When it comes to shooters I always felt that gun differences should only be preference differences, uniqueness and situational difference.  No gun should be straight up superior to the other outside of the current situation(ideally, I know there is no perfect balance).  A player might also play better with a certain gun due to play style and how they handle it, but that's different from balance.  Let's assume you don't want to balance the guns.  A possible solution would be to have more easy access to mid tier guns.  A p2020 against a R99 sucks, but if it's a mid tier gun it's not so bad.  Simply having more access to these guns would help a lot.

The evo shields sound like a bad idea.  The idea sounds interesting, but the execution I think will be a poor design decision.  Players who are performing well don't need yet another boost to win the game.  Do the players doing well really need items to help them do even better?  I guess we'll see how exactly they implement them, but I'm concerned they'll just be a tool to snowball to a win.

It's a game with loot and loot will always play a role, but it doesn't have to play as big of a role as it does.
