Low Profile’s Place in Apex Legends

@Axs5626Sxa5001 Low Profile doesn't have a place in Apex, not because of whatever you're complaining about, but rather because it doesn't do anything and you're just feeling a nocebo effect. Even with the change from leg damage to body damage, it's not doing anything. How often are you getting shot in the legs? If being shot in the legs has a tremendous impact, are you shooting people in the legs? Why do you think Wraith remained top-picked for 7 and a half seasons despite having Low Profile? 

There were better ways of nerfing characters that were "too strong". Low Profile wasn't it, because it doesn't do anything.

@Axs5626Sxa5001 Go get a friend, go into the firing range, have them pick a character with Low Profile and record yourself killing them only hitting bodyshots. Have them switch off that character and onto one without Low Profile, and not a Fortified character. Use the same weapon, aim for the body, and record again. When you're shooting, stand right on top of them, making sure that you're not letting distance to target affect your calculations. All calculations done below are done with a calculator, with distance to target set at 0. 

Put the two clips side by side, start timing each clip when the first round is fired, and compare times. 

I guarantee you're not feeling anything other than a nocebo. Weapons like, Spitfire, R301, LSTAR, R99, P2020 and Flatline, it's a very, extremely minute difference. Nowhere near as pronounced as you claim. Something like the Longbow, with its 0.7 second decrease is really noticeable however.

@Axs5626Sxa5001 I dunno. I don't like Low Profile or Fortified but when I compare Gibraltar's arms/legs to the teeny little arms on Lifeline/Wraith and the twigs Pathfinder calls legs... I kind of want to up the damage for degree of difficulty. I'm kidding but limbs are so small for some characters they probably aren't hit there as often as others. Especially so for legs since they often aren't targeted. Also, the size difference can be so great that one Legend's body might take up the same amount of space as another Legend's body + arms so its arguable that there should be no difference in damage.

Pathfinder has a unique hitbox so this might not apply to him. I do often hear he has odd animations/positions for his arms that may justify that though.
