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.
@Gabrielmojo26 Good Gibi or Caustic with equal armor should always be an issue for the enemy shooting them. If the Gibi/Caustic aim is spot on the 5% damage reduction is a huge advantage over a low profile legend. The issue is that many players miss a lot of shots vs low profile legends and the low profile legends have a bigger target and miss fewer shots. But when my aim is good and I'm landing most shots as Caustic or Gibi, I throw down some good damage numbers for the round. I have died many times to a Gibi or Caustic who had very good aim and it made no difference if I hit all my shots. Playing as wraith vs a really good gibi/cuastic seems almost unfair at times.
You toss in Gibi dome and caustic ability to create access denial to pop a battery mid fight..

- @DarthValtrex That was one issue with the lower TTK imo, the Gibby shield did not reflect the changes, he was basically starting off with almost a blue shield off the drop, and trying to run away as Path (with low pro which they should have tweaked with a lower TTK) made me swear more times than I'd like to admit lol
