@apostolateofDOOMI agree especially in ranked lobbies. I often see 6+ squads in ring 4-5. The final fight is often a luck of the draw.. Who ever has the best positioning and can save their ult/abilities typically wins.
I do agree with @hayhor on some of the points he's making. The adjustments to ring closure on the final ring helps. But when there are 3 Gibi ults going off it's nearly impossible to avoid unless you have a Wattson on your team.
There are definitely some legends who win fights simply because of their abilities and not because of skill. I think having that is okay to some degree, that's why they have abilities. But some legend abilities are definitely a bit over the top. Horizon comes to mind, it does not just pin you down, it makes ADS'ing nearly impossible. So not only are you stuck and an easy target, it's very very hard to fight back. If you don't carry a mastiff, shooting down the ult can and likely will get you killed. You'll be reloading as the enemy pushes you.. It's a death sentence.
If they nerf the abilities to much the game will become another PUBG/Warzone type game. I think abilities should be there, but their impacts should balance out especially when other legends use their abilities.
@DarthValtrexAbout those 3 gibi ults in final ring... Imagine having crypto+your own gibby (or watson) + caustic. Crypto pops enemy bubbles, you gas your own bubble and enjoy the fireworks xD. Now with 2 crypto's in game... Well everyone dies xD. Or, I guess, unless you have both wattson and gibi and space out the defense before/after enemy crypto ult, but then everyone will run into your bubble and you'll have some mastiff mayhem.
Yeah, it's definitely way more fun with abilities than without them. Without them, you'd just have mastiff mayhem by default with no alternatives (unless game ends in very open area that pushed ppl out of cover earlier). Game is also way more nuanced and difficult with abilities than without. Game that's all about just aim is not difficult or interesting.
I hope they will add more heroes like crypto, that's more of a strong counter to a strategy rather than providing one of his own. Also maybe some defensive legends that have no offensive abilities (so like gibby but without bombardment).
