Wingman feedback
The wingman is too strong. It has low recoil a high rate of fire and can literally destroy anyone. I have been playing this game since day one and recently I have noticed that when i get down to fin...

I like the Wingman's current balance, but then again hand cannons tend to be my best weapon in any game so I am probably biased here. I understand lots of people think the Wingman needs a nerf but I think this games balance is great as it is and I really don't want them to change anything. Personally I haven't had an issue fighting squads with wingmans or peacekeepers and I've had great success winning with guns besides those two as well. Maybe adding new weapons is a happy medium for both people who want balancing and people who don't -- new weapons shouldn't affect the current balance too much provided they add more item spawns as well. I would hate to see this game pull a Destiny 1 where everyone complains about the next strongest weapon and the next best weapon is constantly 'balanced' to death until the entire game is boring.

Ask yourself two questions.
1. Should a revolver get extended magazine? Think about this a revolver.....
2. Be honest with yourself what’s your % chance you have to beat a team 1vs3 with wingman now compare that to your confidence level without.
oh and for good measure google “apex legends wingman”. What % of these posts, links, topics, videos revolve around anything but needs nerf.
Haha yeah my buddies and I joke about the revolver / magazine aspect of the Wingman all the time, its pretty funny. Also in bangalore's intro she loads a bullet into a closed chamber too hehe, not sure if they changed that already. The technicalities don't bother me too much but I like the Wingman with 12 bullets What about giving some other guns buffs instead? I rarely hear people complaining about balance talk about buffing the weaker items. If mozambique had 6 shots and an extended mag it would do just as much damage as the wingman, with a shorter range.
As for a 1 v 3 I don't have very much confidence I will win in that scenario wingman or not. The best loadout in that situation would be a spitfire / devotion combo. The only time I've been able to effectively fight multiple people on my own is by luring them in close and surprising them point blank with one of these weapons.
I'm probably in the minority here, even some of own squad thinks the wingman be nerfed in some way, but everyone has a different opinion -- less damage, less bullets, or less rate of fire, basically just less Wingman heh. I've played a lot of FPS games at this point and a lot of them have been ruined by balancing, Destiny 1 is the best example I can think of. Everyone on the forums kept insisting the strongest weapons needed nerfs which is exactly what they did, eventually all of the guns became boring and people stopped playing. They finally resurrected some of their guns to their old effectiveness and its made the game exciting again. I just wish game developers would stop listening to people on forums and put up a simple in-game poll to take a vote.
