Apologies if the above seemed harsh or personal. I guess it was a wordy way of saying that I wish that you'd said, "It's boring in my opinion." Instead of just saying, "It's boring." Which implies (to me) many things that you may not have intended.
It's a button pusher for me because I spent 20 years in neck-snapping twitchy shooters, and I came to battle royale exactly because I was tired of playing games where I couldn't be competitive without courting a meth habit.
And I've always played this game (since day one) as a sniper game. I guess that's part of the reason Vantage doesn't seem all that meta-changing to me. This has always been my meta. So it's particularly scary to me when players start suggesting that sniping is somehow a second-string skill, or a ratter's cheap gambit. Or suggesting that things need to speed up. The new, shorter ring timer makes me feel like the developer may well agree, and that means that if they take this much farther then I have to start looking for a new game. And I don't want to start looking for a new game. That's the button.

@reconzero No prob. I wasn't trying to imply anything else but simply expressing how I felt about it by saying "it's boring".
TBH, I always thought of Apex as a fast-paced game with the movement and legend abilities but they do add content to the game that does change the pace. For example, adding Vantage this season with the return of KC. In combination, I feel the game has gotten slower in pace since there are a lot of people using Vantage and more people sniping because of the map. I wouldn't say sniping is a "second-string" skill or a "ratter's cheap gambit", but a lot of casuals do use it for their benefit. There are a lot of people who are good at sniping, which I can respect. But to me, it's boring when a large portion of the lobby is sniping (teammates and opponents). Btw, I feel like the new shorter ring timer often benefits snipers. Well, the ones that get in the ring early and gate keep people.
