Volt / Devotion too powerful. Time to kill feels like CoD.

New meta is volt or devotion and get somewhat close.  Near instant time to kill.  Why does this feel like call of duty now?  I don't play CoD because of the very fast time to kill.  Poor decision in my opinion.  Why make the game like another game, people will just go back to CoD.  Longer time to kill and being able to shoot back is what made Apex great.  Now you will die to the volt or devo if you use ANY other gun.  Maybe the r99 could compete, but good luck finding one now.  Prowler auto was nerfed so hard that bullets go around people now..

These guns need a change or it will be nothing but volts and devotions on every winning team. 

Is that the meta you wanted?!?

    The biggest problem is not the guns, it's the shields.  They need to make the gold shield 100hp again with faster healing instead of double cell healing, and make the red shield 125hp.  That is the problem, they are gold and red for a reason, but right now they just feel like what the blue and purple felt like.  Better players with great aim can 1 clip anyone, no matter what shield they have giving others less chance to live.  This is going to drive the average player to quit the game, instead of getting better.  That is what they need to fix, not the guns.

  • Devotion was silently nerfed from 17 to 16 damage per bullet.  Recoil was slightly increased.  The devotion is on their radar for more changes.

    Still very powerful weapon.  Can be hip fired without much penalty.

  • I agree that the new TTK is ridiculous. S5 had a more inclusive tactical balance. The combat experience left room for thought. S6 is more polarized, reduced to "killbox" or avoidance. Throw in really uneven loot drops, and Apex is devolving into a game of chance.

    Yeah footsteps have been all over the place, I hear footsteps behind me....turns out they are from my teammate 10 feet in front of me.

  • the devotion is weaker than the volt. it ruins ramparts passive. because the spitfire is worse than the devotion. and the l-star heavy is worse than the spitfire. all light machine guns are worse than the volt. not even close.

  • @gg123xyzI personally think the Devo is the strongest gun in the game but there are so many good viable guns in season 6. Hemlock, Flatline, Prowler. Havoc, Devotion, Volt, R301, Mastiff, G7, Triple take, Longbow and Even the Eva 8 are viable. Now we just need a little bit of adjustment to the Devo and maybe the Volt and we are good to go.

    Oh and buff the friggin Alternator... Please. 👍

  • @xx_Dante2k_xx hemlok, burst prowler, volt, devo, triple take are the only viable guns this season. I think the Eva, mastiff, g7, havoc, and longbow are strong but cannot compete with how little effort it takes to either laser or two burst someone with each of the guns I listed. Everyone in my lobbies is pretty much exclusively running these guns, with a skullpiercer wingman here and there.
  • @Pallo420 I'm pretty sure the devs are going to nerf those weapons soon enough. Just like Octane when he slowly gets his buff.
