Shadowfall NEEDS an Update.

Shadowfall needs love. I love the idea of this game mode, and when it's fun it's fun. But there are far too many problems with the gamemode as is. Here are some solutions to problems. 1st: P...

Pardon? As a legend, it is impossible to escape. It certainly needs an update but not so! When youre a shadow you see all the legends glow red and the legends see the shadows only when they are too close. it should be much easier to escape as a legend. But I am sure that respawn does it with intention. They want the players to continue playing this mode and not get the legendary devotion skin

@donthurtm3 I see you've been playing the new Pathfinderwins mode as someone other than Pathfinder. Please adjust your play style so as to pick Pathfinder at the start of the match and you will find your escape abilities will become 100%

How much time have you actually spent on the game mode? Shadow HARDLY win in my experience.
Where the dropship lands is definitely a big variable. If the dropship lands near buildings and cover, and the surviving team has a Wattson it's almost an auto-win for the survivors. If ONE person gets in the drop ship they can literally cover their teammates from outside the building while being invincible in the dropship. Wattson and friends are practically unkillable inside the building. And if the rest are pathfinders (which they usually are) they can just open the door and grapple the dropship easily.
I really don't understand people saying the shadows are too strong, they NEVER win in my experience. They have won 2 or 3 times in all the games I've played (even in games where the majority of the undead don't quit the game!)

On top of the tower in front of repulsor proved difficult for champions to get to.
The other time we won (dropship at artillery) the last few people didn't even attempt to get to the ship.

Survivors win 90% of the games I play. This could be due to all the quitters. But from my experience there are just too many exploits from legend abilities... that combined with minimal teamwork and sticking together it makes it pretty easy to win.

P.S. I also find staying away from the pack can be advantageous if the undead don't notice you. Even with the dropship SWARMING with undead in the last 10 seconds you can easily just throw a jump pad or grapple to the dropship when you're solo.
