Lower TTK = Teammates die even faster now
Doesn't matter where I am on the skill distribution chart, my teammates charge in and die even faster now. Absolutely zero fun getting obliterated even faster now. As Jim Morrison once wrote . ....

I have realized with this ridiculous TTK, that I am better off playing COD.
If I'm going to die within seconds, at least with COD, I can respawn within seconds and be back in the action... as opposed to waiting up to 5 minutes to get into another Apex game and hit the ground, just to die again within seconds.
In what world do you Dev's think that I'm going to play more dying even faster than I did before. Again this is a battle royal and you now die faster than COD team death match.
I feel like you Dev's are almost trolling at this point with having shields and meds in your game! Why?
Ask yourself, "Who benefits from a faster ttk?" On paper the answer is that the change applies to everyone and everyone "benefits" equally. But obviously that isn't true. The people who benefit are the same people who benefit (or at least are not hurt) by every change made to the game: streamers, cheaters, and pros. Perfect accuracy is perfect accuracy regardless of ttk. The rest of us are meant to struggle as always, and find that instead of emptying half a clip before acquiring the target, we've now emptied almost all of it. So aimbotters continue their field day unabated, and we work even harder for less.
I'm not sure Call of Duty is the answer, but I certainly get your logic.
I will second that. I think the original idea was to lure the streamers back, who in turn would lure the average Joe back again playing APEX. But according to the previously speculative stats almost 30% of the players are cheaters (the 6 million banned accounts official statement is a testament to that, too) the single largest group benefitting is the cheaters camp. With TTK reducing two things matter more and more: early spotting the enemy (primary beneficiary: players with map/wallhacks) and godly aim (primary beneficiary: players with aim-bots). Also TTK reduction is just simply not benefitting players who relied on brains and not muscle/godly aim playing this game. No matter if I position myself better, set up an ambush properly and the guy just turns around and one-clips me without even being surprised much... We are going back to the DOOM / Quake age, I guess...
