Why are we respawning with armor and gear?

I'm not a great player, but I'm good enough to enjoy the game and do well. I understand the need for changes and keeping things fresh in a game like Apex, but  sometimes the changes this game makes feel like they are catering to 1% of the gaming community and not necessarily for the better..  The new respawning with armor and guns makes zero sense to me and really undermines the flow of game. Now it feels like dying doesn't matter  and just adds more potential 3rd party kills and chaos at end of a match.. So far my games have of ranked have not been enjoyable. I kill a team only to have them come back immediately and shoot us in the back or having  a team send in two really good players to squad wipe and if they die just having them spawned by their 3rd in a safe area.  I'm curious to know why this change was made and if it's going to be a permanent feature? As of now, I find it annoying to those that manage to do well and exploited by those that don't or just happened to get lucky.

    Probably someone at respawn who is not capable of thinking about possible exploits though it was a good idea. People already jumping off the map to dupe their armors.

    Some people just get hired at higher levels even they don't have the qualifications for the job and keep messing things up. Like promotion trials, respawning with armor etc. All of those things create more issues than the issues they have resolved. Any person with above average intelligence can foresee what will happen but some respawn employees just can't. Imagine trying to come up with a better ranked system than season 14 for 2 full seasons and they still can't do it. At this point they either sabotaging the game or just no idea about the ranked mechanics.

    @el7uarvszheo They are for sure trying to kill the game, they want us to leave and pay for their other garbage games....

    @el7uarvszheoYes, and I truly believe most if not all of the developers at Respawn do not actually play their own game.

    The respawn change and the ranked trials are both solutions to problems nobody had.

    The current ranked system is what Respawn wants because they think everybody wants 6 teams alive in the final ring. Unfortunately, the unintended consequence of that is most matches are 15 minutes of hide and seek to get there. Decidedly not fun by most people's standards.

    It was a change that was definitely needed. As players would rather quit and go back to the lobby than be respawned. Can you elaborate on how it makes no sense to you?

    If you are killing a team, there is no way for them to come back. If you mean a player, then yeah, you didn't finish the team so they have a chance to respawn. But now they have a fighting chance. Before there was no point in respawning.

    If you are not finishing a 3rd and they can go respawn, maybe focus on that more, go chase them. I feel like you are on the opposite side of the argument, like it was useless to respawn your teammates. All it did was symbolize a beacon to the entire lobby to come and wipe you. Now you have a fighting chance.

    @Shieldwolf0Well, IMHO, the problem is loot duplication, people are exploiting this, but respawning in previous armors withs some guns seems not so bad. I mean, I have already used this once - but I saw this working from the respawning team perspective, I understand it might be frustrating for the other players, although I don't think it's hard to counter, respawning team is very vulnerable to any attacks. But here is the main problem with matchmaking I have. People are extremely passive, they don't  attack, and I don't get teammates that can do anything. Anyway I respawned my two team members, it was already ring 4 with 3-4 teams, and "we" (meaning me) managed to get 2nd place. In ranked this can really make a difference.

    @AreYouShivering They made this change for the sole purpose of preventing leaving the game.... yet it made the game worse and wierd. If they must insist on keeping this wierd change at least keep the weapons but not the shield! All you need to defend yourself is a weapon when respawning because that was the only thing that was lacking.
