Ttk changes apex legends

It would be nice to see some change to the ttk there's no reason I should unload a whole SMG clip in to someone's head and upper body just to get killed by them with a pistol. I feel it's a little lo...

TTK is not only perfect, it's sheer utter genius because...

1. it makes combat more exciting to experience and spectate.. because people don't die in 2 seconds. watch shroud spray two clips into someone and tell me that's not the best looking, best feeling eye-candy in a battle royale. 

2. it makes the game more forgiving to learn for new/bad players, because they don't have to spend 15 minutes of looting to get only 3-8 seconds of combat (hello PUBG). THey are still going to die, but at least they can usually unload a clip or two before it happens, which is good practice. 

3. it encourages teamplay... because a great way to reduce TTK is to get 3 guns on an enemy instead of one

4. it raises the skillcap... if you are complaining about TTK because you want to run around and 1v3 teams, you just need to get better.. obviously it's not a problem for pro streamers.... having a higher skillcap gives the game more longevity and depth

5. The long TTK and the banner rez mechanic decreases RNG, which is a good thing... pro streamers are winning nearly *every* pubg game they play... which is how it should be. Because they don't get downed by a random dude that just got 2 lucky bullets into them in a 3rd party. This will set the game up for team ranked queues and esports.. which will both be awesome.

If you want lower TTK, go play PUBG or Fortnite.. We're happy with the long TTK here. THis game is friggin awesome.

    The biggest problem with Apex's high time to kill is the fact that making big plays really doesn't happen all that often. That's going to make players leave by itself. 

    I think increasing base magazine sizes for all guns will go a long way towards fixing the ttk problem. The biggest factor in determining damage per second in any shooter, is the size of a weapon's magazine. You are doing zero damage while reloading, you'd deal more damage before needing to reload, while leaving the damage per bullet alone. The time to kill would feel a lot less aggravating if the overall damage per second was raised by increasing all base magazine sizes. We'd still need to maintain aim even with larger mags, but it would feel a lot better actually killing players who have poor situational awareness. Alternator should start with at least a 22 round mag, same for all assualt rifles. Wingman's mag is fine, so are the LMG's, so are snipers (except the Scout), and shotgun mags are fine because they're already the best cqc guns. The shotguns and the Spitfire are good because they have relatively great damage per second. They can maintain a consistent damage output over time, everything else has to reload.

      I'm really impressed.
      10 pages in and logan didn't bring a single argument outside "i think, i like, i want".

      My dude to all the people that want lower TTk, you know when you drop in the supply ship and hells break lose, people run scream get mauled by the first dude that gets a shottie? That's what will happen with the game.
      People are complaining about flanking teams unloading on them and they don't die; try to hit your shots. Don't simply shoot in their general direction.

      The fact that you think that just because you flanked a team you deserve the kills is straight up wrong. Because it's a 60 player match. Unless you camp you will always get flanked and the idea that you think you need to die because you got flanked is insane. That would make the game slotmachine, not a FPS.


      TTK right now is fine, if you think that others BR are better because of the lower TTK then your problem is solved right?

      PS: lets not forget that this game has way more mobility than the others FPS, not as much as Titanfall but still, turning this game in a average BR were people camp and wait to get the first shot? Ewwww.

      PS2: @ragnarokfps i'm pretty sure that first we need to nerf the Peacekeeper. Then we can take a look at SMGs. I don't particularly think SMGs need more ammo when most people hipfire with it; and no if you don't aim properly with it shouldn't take a single clip to down with it. BUT the peacekeeper is so much better than SMGs that i don't even think that this discussion is relevant right now.

        The TTK is high because of the ridiculous lag. If your shot's were connecting like they should most guns have enough ammo in 1 clip to kill 3 unarmored enemies.
