Season 20 release is terrible!
Just freed up my whole summer. Can't even articulate how disappointing the changes to game play are.

You are in the minority when it comes to thinking the shield changes and overall gameplay is worse.
Eliminating the RNG from shields needed to have been done a long time ago. There is no skill in landing at a POI with another team, then they get Purple, Blue, Gold and you are already behind in the fight. That idea was terrible from the start.
If they changed the shield progression to only level up on kills, then you would be forced to land and fight the entire lobby and hope to come out just to get shield level ups.
The new system is perfect.
Most teams that go for harvesters and bins and whatnot will generally only have blue for the most part.
You get bonuses for actually using your characters passives, which makes some of the dumb randoms you queue with actually contribute to the team, and then if you want to set up for late game and actually get points in ranked, you have to fight and win your battles to get Purple or Red.
The only bad part of this season is the blatant cheating and audio.
Everything else is a massive improvement to a very stale game.
Again, good luck on whatever game you land on, but saying the shield changes and whatnot are bad, you are definitely in the minority there.
Gun skill, overall skill, and map knowledge should be the aspects that help you win in this game, especially in early fights, not RNG on drop.
They finally make the game feel new and fun with the legends and gameplay mechanics but some of you will never be happy and will get triggered no matter what the devs do.
EA, can you fix pub games?
At least add some form of minor penalty. Maybe not as severe as rank, but add something. When your casual game-play is not fun, it ruins the rank scene. It forces casual players to play in sweaty rank lobbies, where everyone complains and is overall unhappy.
Some days i just want to play casual. But every pub game, the entire lobby would drop in 1 or 2 POI, and the game would end within ring 2.
you have random teammates who think they're Faide and just want 4K badges. But guarantee you that the second they get downed, they scream "where are my teammates?!" and immediately leave the game. You either win with 20+ kills, or die with 100 dmg. Lets be real, youre probably doing more dying than winning 😉
That is apex legends in a nutshell.
