Re: The fact .PRO discord dropped this game tells a lot.
Doubtful this game is ever a fossil. Internet hyperbole. I mean Overwatch is trashing it's own game and while their population keeps dropping, there are plenty of people who play it.
Apex is still more popular than Overwatch, too.
Apex is fine. Truth is, Evo shields were better just for the event because in Deja Loot, all the loot locations were the same. Agree it isn't as good in regular game mode, but seriously, it's fine. It's not some apocalyptic awfulness like you make it out to be, OP.
The Evo shield should just simply be more rare and better. Don't have it lose a shield box, that's unnecessary. If you have the same shield boxes as your standard white and blue versions, it just means the EVO shield is more valuable, let rng and chance to drop handle the rest. People will ditch white armor for White EVO but not necessarily a straight blue, for example.
Other than that, there's a lot of screaming and crying about Apex. Probably it's just more useful to talk about what's wrong with it and maybe it will be improved. The game is free, if you want it to be. Epic will adjust based on that, they want people to play and they want their game to be better so people will keep checking out the store and battle pass. They know to keep their game popular they have to do that.
