Evo Armor updates

@EA_David''When these tactics were executed well, but a team still outplayed you because of mechanical skill - this felt bad.''

No, it does not. You got outplayed and not many want to play cod style camping which many have complained about recently.

Good job on devo sound though.

@apostolateofDOOM Yeah I raised an eyebrow at that bit I'm not gonna lie lol. Nice to see they fixed some stuff though....didn't even take 3 months too. :D

"We aimed to promote strategy in battlefield positioning and map control. When these tactics were executed well, but a team still outplayed you because of mechanical skill - this felt bad." In laymen terms this says "My aim was bad but my position was good why didn't I win?" Well your reason is right there, you're bad. Hamsters who've passed the mirror test have more self awareness. 

"However, with the introduction of the Evo Armor change, we saw (in our internal playtests) that players were achieving Red Armor (125 shields) more often, and more players were fighting at 225 total health. This started to swing the battles more than we liked, and good players were able to outplay teams more consistently, even if the enemy had worked for a much better position." It's almost like, players who can come back from being flanked from disadvantageous positions and outplay the enemy through mechanical skill should be rewarded more so than someone who off-handedly picked a spot and sat there. EVO armor back then was a risk vs. reward situation, and if you killed or upgraded up to red armor, it should be an advantage that people CAN still play around. 

"Now, it’s important to note that we playtested this for months internally. From those playtests, feedback was positive. But, we are a small group of people compared to the millions that play Apex Legends every day. The skill levels in our team are varied, and big balance changes are really only going to be vetted when we get feedback from all of you." Oh maybe you guys should set up a public beta area or something that people of all skill levels can play and test, like League of Legends does. This really isn't the first time the Devs have shotgunned a change that people didn't like and quoted their own "internal test data" so I'm not surprised they're falling back on it again. 

"We are always striving to improve the experience in Apex Legends. Sometimes these changes can be more experimental. We're not always going to get things right, but it's important for us to listen and correct things when we don't." Oh you're listening? Where's the improvements to SBMM? Where's better optimization and performance for low-end PC users? Where's the ability to rebind revive / interact / finisher to different keys for both console and PC players? Where's actual audio improvements regarding footsteps? Where's the rebind for melee for console players? Where's the server performance and net-code improvements? Where's hit-reg improvements? 

"I hope that this patch proves that we are thinking deeply about our decisions, but most importantly listening to our players." You guys reverted one thing. One. What a load of crap. 

Guys, you can't be serious here, the non-stop complaints about TTK, they revert within a few weeks, and we're still [Admin - Removed] on the Devs? 

Nah let's be honest. People raged about the entire reduced TTK and the fact they were being downed instantly. People may have had specific gripes with certain stages but yeah.

Either way it's been reverted to previous values..i'm not sure how thats complaint worthy seeing as its what most people wanted.

They saw the reaction and amended their decision, thats the very definition of responding to the community is it not?

@MandatoryIDtagThe complaint is EXACTLY the same.

You have 25hp white shield at start and being the only option with normal shields removed while getting beamed with little time to react having to take time to charge it up. Not one single person was complaining about the 25hp extra at red but how dry it is at start but i think you already know that..

Your convertible has the roof stuck open while it's raining and i'm being told they fixed the problem by giving me an umbrella...common.
