I feel the reduction in armor also lessens the chances of 3rd parties because fights end sooner. Getting 3rd partied has been a major complaint forever. Not only that but I feel like since fights are over quicker I get into another fight faster making the game flow better than it did before. I really think people just need to adjust before writing this season off.

Didn't realize how much I relied on my shield until it was reduced; definitely takes some getting used to

@IDTAKEN192000 I feel like a better way to fix third parties would be to adjust how far bullet audio extends I don’t think reducing overal health makes it much better cuz in the event you do get thirded it’s basically over for your team 

Game feels completely roll-of-the-dice random now.

Random in a negative way.

Fights are boring now.

I liked the idea of quicker TTK. But it just seems boring atm. Seems a lot of instant death.

Hit someone with multiple double tap G7 shots and theyre still dancing about. But if i flick a automatic at them they dropwith 3 bullets. Or vice versa. Just feels off.

Might just go play warzone instead.

And that changes what exactly? Does it really matter if you have more overall shield health if you are low or completely out of shields when the third party comes? 

Idk, it's still day one of the update. Maybe it's too soon to say either way.

To me it feels like it's more early game before you get that evo shield to red that the TTK is felt but after you hit that red it feels like business as usual and since I'm getting to more fights that red shield comes fast. Then by end game the remaining squads have all had red shields. I have not seen a single blue shield and maybe one or two purples. It just feels like everyone is on a more even playing field throughout the match. I feel like people are being too reactionary. Let's just give it some time before flooding the forum and jumping on the devs for "killing the game". 

Maybe some tweaks will find a happy medium, who knows.

Fights have always been dice roll random. To me G7 seems really good right now if you land those head shots.

Now fights are more about positioning and landing your shots. If I die I felt it was because I actually messed up my shot or was out of position and not because my enemies gear was lightyears beyond what I have on me.

It's a big change and some tweaks might need to be made, give it time, it's too soon to just write the season off.

Im from South Africa, our ping is terrible but we still play, but now with the nerf of armour as soon as someone sees me I'm dead, it's literally unplayable.. I have played since season 1. It was fun untill now. GG I'm out. 

Nope, more likely to get 3rd partied because you won't have health leftover at all

What I don't understand, why Respawn did NOT test the concept in LTM first, and get community feedback, instead directly launch this low TTK.

I think I know....they think Arm and Dangerous is pretty good LTM, where u always desperate with low shield/health, so let do the same. 

But they forget the gun is different in A&D.

This mistake could be the last straw that might break the camel back or very close to it.

@asukojoIf I recall, at the beginning of Season 4 they added Evo armor and in a post said that if it doesn't workout they'll remove it from the game. The community was accepting of the Evo armor alongside of base armor tiers. They didn't even give us that feedback chance this season. They said this is the new meta deal with it or back your bags. basically we're all SOL ;-;

these changes didn't really fit in season 6! I have been playing since season 1, many people were crying to start the game with evo shield, and now they saw the * that was left, not making it feel if you are with evo that you were born with it, instead of taking out the r99 that put more weapons to compete with her, and also puts me a new super op character that I noticed that is unbalancing the game, I really didn't like any of that change, it sucked!

i think these developers are using something toxic to have these new ideas to add to the game, i'm pissed at this *! do yourself a favor back to season 1 which will be a lot more fun!

I never have wrote anything before on any forum but I don't feel the urge to get on the game anymore cuz of taking off 25 of armor. I do agree with most people on here. Apex Devs if you ever somehow see this, understand that you guys are crazy good at what you do and Apex Legends is extremely unique because it's so different than any other game. Having the ability to win a fight while my other teammates are down with me surviving with 1 or 2 hp gets my adrenaline pumping. Even IF I get 3rd party I still am happy. With reducing by 25 just makes me feel like I'm playing a little bit of cod. Fyi, I stopped playing cod because ttk is so so short it doesn't make it fun. The rest of the update is pretty cool and I love it. I'm sure we all agree the Volt can be balanced but it's a new gun and those just take time to balance right. But this new TTK makes me not wanna play. I don't mean that in a bad way or get all negative to the Devs like I see others are, but I say that as sincere as possible. I'm sure a lot of people relied on that 25 shield to make a game changing play and that's what Apex is all about. I kinda feel like this was just something that wanted to be tested and I hope the Devs see that we all love the game for what it has that a game like cod doesn't have, the ability for a long battle that can end with either team winning through a crazy play all cuz TTK isn't short. Please change it back? :/ 

Coincidence that the new champ can spam out walls that effectively massively boost your health (and damage too cause why not!) and turrets that can stop anyone from being able to move within 500m at the same time they change it to insta-death 'strategic positioning' gameplay?

Season 6 blows.  Total miss by reapawn.  They’re going to lose a lot of players. 

I've already regret putting down 60$ on this terrible matchmaking type of game. I will focus my money somewhere else now.

season 6 needs thrown in the ocean to float away to the abyss.

That is completely false.  Third parties are way worse now.  Since everyone knows they can die in seconds more people are playing much more passively and waiting for other parties to engage before attacking.  It’s not only an optimal way to stay alive but it’s the best way to get fast kills with much less risk than previous seasons.  At least in previous seasons the person you were third partying had a better chance of surviving by retreating and healing.  This argument that killing faster reduces third partying is nonsense.  People aren’t engaging the same.  More people are forced to hang back and snipe which draws the attention of third parties just the same as before. Difference now is the chances of surviving the third party are even less now.  It appears most of the pro gamers realize this new ttk is hurting the game.
