Mechanical Skill
I’m still a little sour that Respawn just admitted that they don’t value a player’s mechanical skill as a metric for winning gunfights and games. I’m also shocked that more people aren’t bother...

I actually feel the same way as McCord to a certain extent.
I'll praise good early rotations and positioning as a team, over a spam crouching paddle console solo player bum rushing every newb in the lobby.
There needs to be a balance, and the lower TTK was what I believe to be an implementation to try and move into that direction, which is team play.
I'm not saying this is no longer possible since they reverted, but you'll now see the same solo Rambos going off to try and mechanically outplay entire squads by themselves because, well, the risk factor is no longer as crucial having reverted the TTK.
Coming up against a Gibby or Caustic with red evo is once again an issue if you're not evolving your shields fast enough.
I think a vast majority don't realize they're only trying to better the overall flow of the game with these changes, and reward team play.
Quick observation from yesterday's games were that, above average players did not stick with me as a duo regardless of my stats being "ok", but they did with a lower TTK knowing very well they couldn't push à la Rambo with that security net of a higher TTK.
@Gabrielmojo26You explained it there dude with lower ttk people are more likely to hug eachother/camp as a solo player that gets 1 v 3 most of the time i like being able to evade not just get sprayed up on back to menu and repeat the fights go on longer making it more entertaining
@DaleWWilson95You're talking as tho players were hugging each other in a corner building just waiting the entire game for someone to walk by, in all honesty, I have played a lot since S6 dropped and not once did I observe this kinda behavior, not once!
In reality, I just think a lot of players were angry because they couldn't carelessly wonder on the map anymore, and getting shot faster, to the detriment of being more careful, was pee-pee-ing a lot of the higher skilled players, cause honestly, new players didn't even notice this.
That being said, many times having a blue EVO, getting shot in the back, I still had enough time to dodge out, regroup, heal, and push.
Players like to exaggerate only to reinforce the changes, whether it be lower TTK, or higher TTK.- @Gabrielmojo26 Your probably a PC player thats why dude Xbox was full of them.. If no one asked for TTK change and it wasn't broken then why did they try and fix it.. There wouldn't of been any changes anyways just the taking out of old shields they admit they didnt have a big enough team due to whats going on
- @Gabrielmojo26 Your pic is path his evade mechanic was useless before the update
@DaleWWilson95I'm on Xbox, and Path's passive was viable pre-update, and still is post-revert, imo.
Edit* Tactical, and not passive.
