Re: You nerf the triple take to buff the Havoc?

The Triple Take didn't get nerfed. Here were the changes made to the sniper rifles:

On the weapons side of the equation, we’ve made a number of changes to try to improve the power of long range gameplay. We’re reducing leg shot damage reductions on sniper category weapons, so you’re not punished for landing inaccurate shots at long distances. Given the semi-auto and low damage nature of our current sniper suite, coupled with the general speed and evasiveness of many Legend kits, it already takes several challenging shots to down someone at range. Because of this difficult sniper environment, we’re also reducing general sniper weapon sway and hitting the DMR with a few targeted buffs to make it more viable to engage Legends at range.

G7 SCOUT / TRIPLE TAKE / LONGBOW DMR

Lowered leg shot damage reduction: 25% -> 10%
Reduced base weapon sway by about 33%
Reduced base sway speed by about 25%

This is what @EA_Blueberry is really saying:
"Thicc bois Legends" - notice the derogatory terminology and how some Legends are just a joke amongst Apex hipsters.
Sniping. Who snipes? Nobody. Nobody wants to. Everyone wants to go to Skull Town with Wraith, Octane, Pathfinder or maybe Lifeline or even Bloodhound.
Nobody is sniping and nobody is playing Gibraltar or Caustic.
Can we get serious now?
Nerf the hell out of the solo style gameplay and then players will start to rely on each other or in other words squad play.
Or, if you're not going to do this then let us choose Legends to retire so we don't feel the need to include them in our play. Yes, that would be a shame but it's the dev's fault.
Let me know when Dizzy and all the rest of them are playing Caustic and Gibraltar.

Staycation try Gibby twice but after 2 attempts, he gives up, Gibby simply a HUGE-SLOW panda, the 10% reduction doesn't do any [Removed - CM] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VlzaiC7sCA

After that, he gives up and back to his favorite legends, and never look back.

Developer seriously needs to ask Gibby do extreme exercise and diet to get slimmer....he has 1-2 month before session 2 start.
