Dude THAT is the reason why i'm saying you think your opinion is a argument.
"Needs lower ttk so flanking is rewarding."
People answer: "It already is rewarding, you already got a fight where the enemy has less health".
But you keep saying things liks "What is frustrating to many of the people complaining is that flanking is many times negated because it takes to long to kill." and when confronted with the question what would be a more rewarding flanking, you refuse to answer, because the ONLY answer is a Kill.
And while people that do the flanking might feel good about getting a free kill the receiving end will feel like *.
"oh but it's your fault for being flanked!"
Not it's not, it's a game with 19 enemy squad in a somewhat small map. Unless you camp you will sooner or later end up being flanked because that's the nature of the game. In fact the most common tactic when there's only 3 squads is wait for 2 to start fight and the third party collapse on them to get both sides hurt and win the game.
The mag size are there so at the start the first guy that gets a weapon can't roll over an entire squad, at least they have the chance to punch him down. And later on it's balanced so even if you flank someone it doesn't mean an secured kill unless you have a degree of finesse.
Why? Because it's not fun to get shot in the back. Having time to either fight back or flee gives you the chance to do something about the situation. That's what makes good games, that's what anyone that studied game design would call counter play.
Since you clearly don't know i have a video that explains better than i can: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRBcjsOt0_g&list=PLhyKYa0YJ_5BkTruCmaBBZ8z6cP9KzPiX&index=45
And people should aim "for the head", aim for mastery. I will not explain why. I will let the folks from riot game explaining why you should make players want to improve:

If you reduce the TTK people will stop caring about having proper aim, about knowing the map and planning into cutting escape routes, how to do a PROPER ambush, because suddenly running around and hoping you find someone fighting another squad so you can shoot them in the back gives you easy kills and rewards.
And you say we attacked you, but really at first i didn't. I just made one thing clear: You are using your opinion as it was an argument, as it was worth more than the people saying otherwise, because you self entitled yourself as a specialist "because you have 25 years of playing games". And that's just wrong. You don't have any intel from inside EA, at least as far as i know, you don't have metrics to support your opinion and didn't bother to point any relevant source, sorry but you are not a relevant source.
So there's no discussion because we don't have any arguments to attack from you. You are saying your opinion and unless we call you a idiot/noob/stupid and straight up tell you to shut up the discussion will never leave the same loop of: you saying you think X, we point that most people disagree with you, you saying that people didn't understand and that you are right because you are you.
Read this topic from the start. That's ALL that happened when you were involved. And that's why i called you a kid. Because you are acting like a kid that keeps yelling the same thing because that's the way you want things to be.
So i will ask again: Bring an argument or at least a source where you are basing your opinion. And no saying you have 25 years playing games, were in beta testes, flew in dragons, fought monkeys doesn't count as source or make your opinion more valuable than others, also no: saying the same thing over and over again will not make it correct.
PS:
I understand that it's not fun to flank someone that's better than destroy his shield just to have him turn around and murder you. That's also why i want a better matchmaking system. Putting people of the same level to compete, so these things doesn't happen as often.
But that's the solution of these moments, not simply handling free kills to everyone that flank someone.
PS2: stop with the * of "i didn't say that". Because even if you didn't say that; that was what you meant. EVERYONE is telling you you sounds like someone that wants a free kill on flank yet you say you didn't say that and refuse to explain what you mean exactly.
PS3: Have i ever said how writing in the phone sucks? because it sucks.(My english isn't that bad, i swear.)
