Reduce TTK by reducing Downshields.

The Upshield TTK has always been good to me. 100 - 125 Heath max is pretty good to me. It gives every a chance to fight back rather its third-partying or beibg thirx partied.

The only problem I have with TTK are the annoying downshields.

Its annoying to fight tooth and nails to knock someone only to be meet by a 700 or 1000 health down shield. Especially while sniping.

Downshields have too much health.

And over extend TTKs into oblivion.

And Gold Revive shields are the worst. At the beginning of season 6. I met entire squads with Gold Downshields. By the last ring their would be 3 squads all with Gold downshields.

I once lost a match do to the fact their were 3 squads crawling around with goldshields. I was the only member of my squad left standing.

Out of 6 people I ran about franticlly searching for the down Gold shield, all with a 1000 health and extend cover. I was 1 shot.

I thirsted 2 of the 6 downed squad members, but by the time I thirsted them a lifeline had self revived and fully healed.

She 1 shot me and won the match.

If any shields need nerfing, it would be the downshields.

200 level 1

300 level 2

400 level 3

500 level 4

This will reduce the TTK.

Warzone doesnt have downshields nor does Fortnite.

@hhnbbfggty66 You cant criticize low TTK and then not want downshields. Warzone going down you are dead as all the enemy has to do is keep firing. Getting revived on there is a miracle. It is one of the many differences between these two games where Apex is better. They screwed up the gold shield spawn the first week, admitted it and fixed it so using that as reasoning doesnt work now.

@hhnbbfggty66 I've never had this problem personally.
I just strafe left and right and dink the downed enemy while ignoring their shield.
Personally I've always thought downshields were effectively pointless aside from a few niche situations.

@hayhor I'd rather they leave knockdown shields as is, but remove Gold Knockdown passive and swap it for something else. Way too many lost fights where I had successfully 1v3, but the first guy I knocked comes up out of nowhere and kills me.
Big issue with Gold Knockdown is that checking for it wastes valuable time, and not checking for it opens you up to being shot in the back by a player you've already downed. It's a lose lose situation for players who've done what they're supposed to, IE knock the enemy. It's rewarding (situationally of course) RNG rather than mechanical skill should people pull off the revive. I think it'd be better personally if instead of being a self-revive, it'll fully charge your shield upon being revived with a 2x use.

@pastaclown I like the knock down shield but they need to be more rare.

I would like for gold supply drops.
Just a golden carepackage with a gold dive trail.

Gold knockdown shields are rare enough as is.
I can go days without having one.

@1ronKeys This. I haven't seen one on anyone in quite some time since they nerfed the number of them spawning.

@hhnbbfggty66 Agreed 100%. This is a great suggestion.

The TTK in this game is largely hampered by these downed shields. It drags out fights as you can't quickly finish off a downed player like you can in any other BR. It's really a total waste of time to try. Your better off initiating a finisher ASAP or trying to find their other squad members. And with a dragged out fight, what's about to happen? That's right. Everyone's favorite third party scenario.

I just see them as loot pool pollution.
Mostly useless and take up the space of more useful loot, like p2020's.....cause we need more of those on the ground. 😛
