Golden knockdown shouldn’t protect against the final squad

I’m all for having golden knockdown shields for the majority of the game, but when it’s down to the two final teams then the self revive feature should be removed.

losing the game because your team died to the ring even though you killed all the enemy players is the most unfair thing on the game.

Your team won the fight, the win should have been yours, you shouldn’t lose because someone was lucky enough to find a better knockdown shield. RNG should sway fights a little bit, not completely dictate them

  • GKNDs shouldn't be a thing in the first place IMO. Replace revive passive for something else, like a 2 time use passively faster revive, or a shield that fully encases the player, etc. etc.

    Absolutely no reason why any team should lose a fight because they knocked a GKNDs player who crawled off to a corner to safely heal, only to come back and one tap low health players. 

  • @hayhor That’s completely different, holding onto an ability/ ultimate for the final ring is just playing strategically and is something that everyone can. It’s not uncommon for the final ring to be full of Gibby/ Bangalore air strikes, Caustic gas, Crypto EMP‘s ect but that’s perfectly fine because those things can be countered and outplayed as long as your team plays smart as well and holds onto their abilities

    The golden knockdown shield is another story as not everyone has access to one so it doesn’t matter how smart you play or how skilled your team is, the winner more often than not is going to be decided by who has the golden knockdown.
    RNG should only sway the fight, not completely screw you over and rob your team of a victory

    @pastaclown Agreed, if you get downed then you’ve lost the fight and should only be allowed back if a teammate risks reviving you. No amount of loot, no matter how rare should give you an extra life
  • @Bean2kay9 lol someone lost to a guy that was on his knees and someone is salty. Are you honestly complaining about the worst gold item in the game?

    @Bean2kay9 I think a gold knockdown is fine. I've won and lost matches due to them. Battle royales have a decent amount of rng and luck involved and this is just one of them. No different than a self revive on warzone really.
  • @Bean2kay9 In my opinion, gold knockdowns are the worst item in the game, I don't even use them.

    I think, they should have a feature on them that is 'instant revive' and make them more rare and harder to find. This would be better and would have such a better advantage.

    Another thing should be, immunity whilst on the floor for 30-45 seconds meaning you cannot be finished or killed.

    I agree.  Its the only item that is a liability.  Get downed and show your gold shield, and you're immediately thirsted..
