Heavy weapons in the past only slowed you down a lot, and I personally saw it this way too by experience, that getting hit with an R99, R301, vs a Flatline was clearly not the same, as well as when you also shoot someone with these 3 guns, how you can visibly see the difference.
I'm also talking about slowing down Half Speed, and sometimes barely moving.
I'm not talking about how it's always been, something has clearly changed in Season 12, or I am running into some sort of bug.
I dont know, I feel the same as before.. Just remember if you used to play caustic or gibby (fortified legend) and switched to something else that will be a varying experience, especially since they dont slow down when getting hit.
I think the rubberbanding youre experience might be a server issue not so much networking, this far I had stellar network connection to the Apex infrastructure but some games I get rubberbanding, in general it does not give you skill lag or bullet lag only movement lag.
@xpl0itsI feel the same sometimes when the connection is weird. And as cheese said, all bullets slow you the same. Heavy have never slowed you more.
My experience is similar.
When I shoot someone (Flatline, 301) I can put a half of clip into running enemy and they wont' slow down a bit. like not at all.
I have been in numerous fights where I shot someone with Flatline and they just jump all over and slide-jump immediately without losing any momentum.
No shooting seems to slow down some players.
When I am being hit by a Flatline it is like almost instant decrease in momentum.
So the main question here is how the same game can feel/behave differently for different players?
Well then there's a bug in this game in regards to Light vs Heavy, because I have always visibly seen someone I am shooting at with a Flatline move slower, than if I shot them with an R301, I actually see them slow down and stutter more.
I'm also not talking about Rubber Band lagging. When I'm getting hit now, I'm really slowing down a lot more, to the point it's hard to move and get out of the way.
I agree that this could be a combination of the network lagging at the time, the network/servers on this game have always been bad.
