@shadowninja5044 So far I’ve never pinged a downed teammate with Rev but for a few times. Never heard that one tho... thanks for sharing ;D

To fight a caustic up on the suspended carts above... yes you would think he’s a noob. His lvl 300+ would suggest otherwise... but then again... he did go up again when 3 ppl were there so... lvl says nothing.

Gamemode is def fun. But it also highlights the noobs in your own team. Before, they could’ve had blue or purple armor and survived, now they just die...

    @Koochi-Q Lol the only reason I got to hear that quip was because my teammate just kept pinging that he was down so I ping him in hopes that he would stop and let me concentrate on killing the skinsuits.

    I have played 3 matches of this event, and they will likely remain the last 3 matches. Dropping in, surviving for 10 seconds, downed. It was already terrible with Melee. Now I just have to land somewhere in the proximity of an enemy, and I can see myself out. Those people I encountered had such an ungodly aim, it took them 8 - 10 shots to kill me. Great. And additionally to that, if you think landing outside of busy areas is good, no... Some people specifically follow you just to down your squad.

    Nice idea, but I feel like it encourages professionals to just hunt down everyone more than before.

    @Peri_Longbow_plz That's the point, punching people out at the start of the match isn't skill at all. This mode at least encourages you to aim and hone your skills. I'm having more fun in this mode than the normal modes.

    But I'm lowkey waiting for the EVO shield version.

    @Leo_the_Lion25 It doesn't have anything to do with skill at all. Or rather, yes, it does, but it favors those who already play 8 hours a day.

    For an average player such as me? All jokes aside, apparently I suck at aiming in Apex Legends (only), so being shot out of the match before it even starts is more of a punch into the gut than anything else. At this point I can just play any game and make the endboss spawn at the beginning, gives me the same effect really.

    @Peri_Longbow_plz Maybe that’s the point. I think everyone who thought further than ‘hey now I got a gun to protect myself’ would’ve realized that:

    A) others (predominately premades) will coordinate attacks to attack singles right on the jump

    B) those single-tappers will have a huge advantage

    C) the hotdroppers/good droppers land first and just stand, look up at the sky and start shooting

    This will in turn cull lower skilled players or players with just bad luck out of that specific queue and let them play normal mode. So maybe this was a tactic of Respawn to let players know that this is not a desired ltm for ‘all’.
