Season 5 - Fortune's Favor (Feedback)
Season 5 just launched and after hours of gameplay, I have some feedback. (P.S. These are only the huge features. I won't go into bug fixes or anything small like that)
New Legend - Loba
I love the new character (I'm definitely not the only one seeing as most teams have a Loba). Her abilities are amazing: the Jump Drive is well balanced with the decent cooldown and the Black Market is an effective way to loot from the shadows. It is so satisfying when you can combine her passive and tactical to steal loot from your allies or enemies. Honestly, I don't see any need for Loba to receive any tuning at the moment.
Mirage
Respawn did an AMAZING job at making Mirage fun and playable again. I definitely agree that the Emergency Dance Party Ultimate is a lot better than his old one and now that you can control decoys, he is even better. Give gold backpacks to Lifelines and Gibraltars? Not anymore. Mirage is the ULTIMATE reviver (I think it's a word).
Pathfinder
As soon as I got used to Pathfinder, Respawn hit the poor robot with a huge nerf. The Grappling Hook made him the most mobile character in the game, now, with the cooldown increase, he isn't anymore. Honestly, I feel bad for all the Pathfinder mains. Well, let's hope Respawn maybe change the nerf a little.
Caustic
One of my favourite ones, the Caustic Gas buff. Allies are no longer slowed by the gas. Finally the Wattson/Caustic duo is ACTUALLY toxic! (Respawn don't nerf either of them plz)
The return of the Skullpiercer Rifling Hop-up
The Wingman is one of my favourite weapons (although I am terrible using the Merciless Wing iron sights) and I'm glad it finally got the hop-up back! (Oh yeah Longbow too) The Skullpiercer makes the Wingman a deadlier weapon (if the user can aim - also the Longbow too) so you can essentially down someone in two shots (again, if you can land a headshot) Not the biggest or most exciting change, but still significant.
Mastiff/Peacekeeper Swap
A quick summary of this change, the Mastiffs are now everywhere and Peacekeepers are Care Package weapons (like the Kraber and Devotion). I think this is a well balanced change, you can increase the rate of fire on the Mastiff with a Purple shotgun bolt now and the Peacekeeper is now insanely OP it like has a gold shotgun bolt except it doesn't? It also automatically has the Choke equipped (I mean I only ever used it for the Triple Take) Also I'm calling the Sentinel/Kraber swap send XP if you agree.
Quests
Apex PvE sounds amazing. Can't wait for May 29th (the first hunt) Keep it up and add an entire new quest line for each season led by the new kid on the block.
Okay that's all the features that are big and genuinely exciting and what I think tuning-wise on them, but here are some things I want to see in Season 6.
Cross-Play and Cross Platform progression - Come on we need it I mean we pour our wallets into this game for heirlooms, battle passes and event skins and if we switch platforms we lose it all or have to spend MORE?
S6 Legend has a cloak tactical in memory of Mirage's old ulty
An entire new map, maybe on Psamathe?
And that's it! Thanks guys for taking your time to read this, give XP or reply with your feedback and hopes for the future.
Hope you had fun, friend!
