Did Mastiff Get Nerfed?
I swear it's not doing the damage it did before.

Ah yeas, lets by all means bring back the old PK that could one shot everyone.
The low TTK is only advantage to people who can't hit more than 5 shots in a row, to be able to land more actually shows that you have at least decent aim.
Also reaction time is nullified completely if TTK is low and you get 1-2 shotted by enemy that made 0 sounds in game that somehow makes it that you hear people shooting 500m away from you, but can't hear wraith ripping a humongous fart in your face while they empty their gun at the same time.
The current TTK is alright, imagine this situation where enemies can never hear that you are coming and would be melted in 0.2s
@KarvaRausku You're missing the point. The PK was but one of a variety of options that could beam you in Season 2. I don't recall it being considered OP back then either. It was just one of a crowd. Devotion and Alternator were generally the ones that got a complaint if any. But that's not even touching R-99, R-301, Havok with Turbocharger, Prowler with select fire, etc. A wide range of strong options will balance things out on it's own.
So many good memories of Season 2...still the best season imo.

@KelRiever You do know that every game needs balancing right? Do you even play Apex? How can't you see that Mastiff was literally OP because you could take down an enemy with two shots? The only way you could counter that was to have a Mastiff for you too but guess what you don't always have since this is a BR and RNG kicks in. You can outplay an eva8 with an SMG or AR, but you couldn't do the same with a Mastiff (unless the guy using it is a complete trash player). Now this has improved and most of the times it will take 1 more shot to take down a guy with a Mastiff. And don't bring the buff all the other guns thing, what do you want? To one shot everyone easily? Giving them no time to react? You're forgetting that Apex isn't just about shooting but movement is also a major factor in the game, so you have to be good in both of these things to be a decent player.
Saying that Mastiff didn't need a nerf is just wrong and non sense, maybe you don't play the game enough to see how op that gun was.
@@Cross yes games need balancing but there are many tools for balancing. This game to keep has obviously gone foremost with nerfs far more than buffs and it’s gotten to the point than it’s really bad. And I do blame Respawn for rolling over. Players will always complain about what killls them.
- @Cro_Pittt Ive came to terms with he does not play as much as some do to see the huge problem those of us who put in countless games see. Its almost as if he doesnt play apex hardly at all. Maybe he is one the players who has to use mastiff to kill people cause he cant with other guns. I dunno. Why i mentioned earlier do you even play this game? Cause he has no clue what he is speaking about.
