@Asmodeus566 I'm not making any claims, I'm just sating my first hand experience.

I've played this game since season 1. Took a long break. Came back.

I know how the game works when it's working right.

I'm getting downed within half a second, fullshields and health from a Spitfire gun;

I've emptied a whole spitfire magazine into someone's back and they run off. I then empty another half a magazine into their back as they're running off and they do not get downed.

Their shields barely shatter.

I'm getting shot feedback on each hit.

You can't tell me that is normal. I know for a fact what is normal. That's not how the game was working beginning of season. Wasn't how it was working in other seasons. Maybe at points. But you cannot deny that that is my experience.

I was good hundreds of kills ahead of my deaths, within 3 days of playing (for only a couple hours at a time), my deaths have surpassed my kills.

I have a positive kd each season (maybe barring 1 or two I don't know)

I average 60-80 wins per season.
My wins are currently on 24.

Win lose draw I don't care (I do), but if when I shoot people they take the same time/dmg to kill as do I (all other factors equal) then I have no complaints (beyond MM (; ).
But this is not the case. You know it.

You stand then and head on hit someone with a whole spitfire mag, enemy does not even move laterally. You drill them with every shot. Then "boom boom" 2 shots and you're downed in less than half a second.

Even with the same gun. That is the experience. This isn't about "take a break", that won't change anything.

I'm not making any claims about this or that, I'm just stating the cold facts of my experience.

And this is with 12-40ms connection and no packet loss.

Again, not making any claims about whatever, just detailing my experience. Others too are having this experience.

@1ronKeys

I never said that these incidents that are afflicting you are not happening I just said it is not EA tweaking individual damage rates like you have insinuated.

@hayhor Is probably on the right track here.

I used to have an older PC and at times I struggled with "like" issues. I have a very new RIG and have had no such problems. Staying up to date on hardware, software and internet goes a long way.

Playing on a Switch vs other consoles like PS and Xbox or even in PC lobbies is sure to get you wrecked more often than not.

As far as "older" consoles this could be an issue as well.

This is one of the reasons that I am for lobbies being separated so that all are working off of the same basic tools level: Switch vs Switch, PC vs PC, and all of those different PS and x-box players playing vs the same type of console and model type. This would make the game more even footed and more enjoyable IMHO. However I can see from a marketing angle why they (EA) have cross play so that those with friends on different hardware can play together.

I am just glad I do not have friends that play this game on Switch because I would not play with them because they just cannot compete due to their hardware limitations and it would limit their and my enjoyment.
