Friendly fire and fall damage let's try it!

The game has been stalling on an evolution standpoint, it doesnt offer ingenious modes (LTMs, evo shield introduction) like it did in the first 2 years  and nothing is changing in the game not even map rotations!

Still no map rotation for 6 weeks of rank!!! That was a good idea for Apex year 1 but doesnt make sens for year 4 at all. Look at all the other games out there how many are having 6 week locked map for rank or something like that?? NONE!! Because it has no need to and is just so BORING! Why would you do that? It was smart when Apex had only 2 maps; let them have a split with #1 and a split with #2. But now that we have 5 maps how does it make sense?

Plus we played thousand of hours on each map why would you think we are ok with playing 6 weeks straight of the same old map exclusively? Shuffle the maps dammit!!!

So I think I was the only one 2 years ago to suggest we should drop with a shield and a pistol... a few weeks later they implemented dropping with a white shield exactly like I suggested. And this week I heard rumors we might be dropping with a P2020 next season. Good good at least we try this! Melee kills were already not much a thing already anyway.

I have another idea , why not try a rank split with Friendly fire 'on' and fall damage. Pros have been saying rank is not supposed to be fun (while actually they have a blast every minute of it) when we complained about not being able to grind anymore with rank 2.0 so in that logic I suggest we have one of two rank split with Friendly fire and fall damage and I even predict I will verily enjoy it, I like the realistic part of gaming.

It would be fun to see the skilled guys that really know how to protect teammates have a blast.

It would also solve the big problem you guys had with Caustic and the pros... caustic gas being too strong at endgames it would now be bad for endgames which means you could buff it like at launch. Also teammates would not have the problem they had before where they couldnt differentiate their teammate's gas from the enemy gas.

I always tought teammates not being affected by any tactical or ultimate from teammate to be totally weird and even ridiculous. LIke runing on thermites, fuse's ring of fire or any other doing absolutely 0 damage, this is ridiculous!!

    @OldTreeCreeper I think double damage would be bad, it would punish people too much for accidents, and friendly fire damage wouldn’t count anyway.

    @OldTreeCreeper I have friends that like to run in front of me and then strafe so I shoot them. No thanks. It isn't my fault they don't take angles.

    @BigMacAttack8u Good idea! This would totally remove the incent to troll teammates plus it would benefit teammates that are very careful where they shoot and where they position themselves.

    It would cause faster team wipes than anything else, because Octane/Wriath/Bloodhound/Valk players ALL like to get in the way of my shots when I have a good lane rather than finding their own freaking killbox to work with.

    "This would totally remove the incent to troll teammates plus it would benefit teammates that are very careful where they shoot and where they position themselves."

    Have you MET the people who play this game? Friendly fire would become the new ping system in a matter of minutes from the time it launched.
