Fully recharged shields with every kill...Aka Monarch Core..The best part about getting a kill in Titanfall 2 was getting your core.After getting a kill you would get a core and free shields.Apex legends need something similar.Solos: The storm fully recharge your shields after every kill.Trios: After wiping every member of a squad your squad shields get full recharged.Make it a little harder for the third partying cowards.**Does not recharge health..Just enough of a reward to give fighters a fighting chance. By just recharging shields, this will allow for third partying, but it will be a little harder for the third partiers.

If there was just a little more incentive to fight opposed to camping that could give those willing to fire the first shot an even advantage when it comes down to the very end.

No way to watch your back, especially with how the map shrinks. You’re guaranteed to get third partied anytime there is a fight going on and another party is close. It is a problem, you take out one squad and have a second show up, sometimes even a third.I also get annoyed by the fact that if I knock 3 players down, get third partied.. i don’t get credit for the kills.. really?! I’m the one who did the work. But because some third party finished me off with 1 shot then finished them off no kill for me?! It’s extremely annoying to be one shot killed by a third party. Due to this reason my squad and I try avoid fights unless we are the third party. But for the most part we just try to survive until the end then take out the last squad via third partying. It might be cowardly, but you either do it or have it done to you.

@hhnbbfggty66 Well yes, but honestly watch your back as well

@hhnbbfggty66I actually like this idea even though I am on the other side of the argument that '3rd partying' needs to be stopped... lol. This is something that is a part of the game whether you like it or not. Every BR game has '3rd partying' and has had it before Apex Legends came around. BR games are about survival to the end no matter what. The games don't need a doorman to release the rope and let the next squad in line into the party after the surviving squad has had sufficient time to heal up and loot.But... I do like the idea of getting something to help out the hurting party with shields or something quickly so the next squad in won't decimate them while they are down right off the bat. I think this would make those situations more interesting. Not going to stop it though, '3rd partying' is part of the whole thing.

**Solution** Cowardly third partying has to be stopped!

I think recharge 50 shield after kill would be fair for solos or 25 health and 25 shield

totally agree. I think one way around the whole getting credit for the kills if another party does all the damage, I get one shot on and get the kill would be to stop emphasis on kills.... If you stop all the emphasis on kills and move that to damage done I think overall people with be less pissed when they do 98% of the damage and some 3rd party comes along and gets the kill.

I like your idea because I feel like this game was designed more for aggression and not for passive play. However, the siphon ability rewards already great players while punishing the casuals... which make up a huge bulk of the player base. I will say that all your ideas shouldn't be in casuals, but it should definitely be in ranked. Hell, I would definitely play more ranked if it gave siphon on kills/wipes.

I don’t think it’s a useless suggestion. I would agree that third partying is part of the game dynamic and game play.
But i like the general idea of getting a shield/health regen after you get a kill.

I "slaughter" my way across the map.

Usually starting at artillery and fighting my way down to skull town then thunderdome.
I wipe all of artillery then I move on to cages, i wipe that area and the guys coming from slums.

On my war path I usually feel bad for that 1 battle hardened 1-shot guy after he has wiped the area prior to me arriving.

It is usually a pathfinder I catch looting after some massive kills.
I blast him with my Flatline before he has a chance to react or shield swap.

I feel kinda bad about it because I know how its like to wipe an entire area only to be 1 shot by a guy journeying through.
I feel giving this guy free full shields would make the encounter more interesting.
I would still wipe the guy, but I would like for the guy to have a fighting chance.
Every fight attracts attention. Sometimes camping cowards and some times journeying warlords on a warpath.
