Agreed.
Devs are seemingly trying to lower the skill set for this game. Start a fight and the other team melted you? Go invisible and send out decoys with crazy loud footsteps and hide and heal. Throw a healing circle down. Turn red and jump away. Gravity lift or fly away. Apex requires decision making and part of that is deciding what fights to take. Now you can just push any fight and you have a get out of jail free card because the devs are making abilities crutches instead of focusing on fair gunfights. I think abilities have a definite place in Apex but they’re becoming too much and we’re losing the basic skills of a fair gunfight, positioning, and knowing what fights to take.
