Yes! thank you for the correction. That is what I meant. Hitboxes should have been adjusted since the beginning.

RNG is still a hot mess, as it has always been.

@Vdstrk I am happy that they added shield, helmet and heals off-drop so it will make the loot pool a bit better. Plus it will solve the no armor off drop problem. Locked and Loaded LTM had the best loot.

@EA_David So much here, happy to see Thermal Station as one of the areas for the Arena it was one of my favorite places to end a match on WE, it was also a fun location to drop if multiple squads went there.

Valk looks interesting, so many people are claiming she's going to be OP. But I think it's really going to boil down to how far she can fly with the squad, the impact radius of her tactical and the damage it does..

Bocek I'm interested in quite a bit, I have always enjoyed the precision weapons. Wingman, snipers, G7.. So I'm intrigued that it might work well as both a mid range weapon and a CQC.

I think all buffs and nerfs should work well. The one I have mild concern about is the Wingman, the increased head shot multiplier is welcome. But will the quick draw remain in the game? The wingman is a tricky gun as it's borderline OP, in the right hands it's a top tier weapon. It is difficult to use, but those who can use it can dominate fights. I think any buffs reworks have the potential to make it really OP.

@EA_David as usual I can't wait to explore the new stuff.
But I have to ask, do respawn get feedback from anyone before putting skins into the battle pass. The upcoming Wraith skin is imo awful. Would the mask not be more suited to Octane as it resembles some of his skins?

@Vdstrk

Of course they want to reduce the skill gap. Most players aren’t terribly skilled. And most of the devs aren’t terribly skilled.

Making the game more casual means they probably make a little more money. Nothing— I repeat nothing, takes priority over maximizing profit margins.

@OldTreeCreeper I saw the skin in the trailer before these notes were relased and thought oh god....they're bringing the naruto run back!
It's not a bad skin....it's just the colourings that let it down in my opinion. Not sure why her face is bright pink?

@MandatoryIDtag it a strange mix. The snake motif on the silk scarf is a bit old maid with the grey hair and overdone pink makeup. The body bandage wrapping, half mummy? Leather and cord, colors, agreed not too bad, it's the mask that puts me right off.
In general I like the wraith skins and some I love, but this one joins the cat one for me. Yeuck.
