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...

@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.
@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.

When you are killed, you got a chance to come back, but this chance is not into the mercy of your squad, but sorely on you. You got to win the gulag and your back.
This is pure skill, which is better for sure.
I think knockdown shields in Apex are okay, but there shouldn`t be any ability like auto-revive, faster revive, and backpack revive. This things actually stretch the fight, and its doing it the wrong way.
You should not award a team, that has a downed player, it should be completely the opposite.
And they even state it in the patch notes, but they obviously don`t know how to do this.
When your down(its actually your killed), so you should have protection as much, as to not die instant, when your downed. But you shouldn`t be safed by auto-revive b.c and a big reviving shield., but actually by your team mate come and safe you. Or when you get down by a chance, aka down 2 of the enemy squad, and you decide to push and get knock by a chance, and the knockdown shield is there to prevent an insta kill and the need for your team to do a full respawn. The shield is there to keep you as long, as your team to come and kill the other play.
No more, no less.
The game was most balanced in S5, before the stupidest auto-revive with a shield that was introduced with - Lost Treasures.
Again in a game where kills is pretty much the main goal, you should not mess with the revive.- @LordloshBang
No, The knockdown shields are over powered.
I have footage from season 0 and the blue shields only had 250hp, now they have 500hp.
Its too much.
level 3 had 500 now they 700+.One thing to remember is that if you make easy to kill knocked players you also nerf lifeline. I would suggest hop-up for mozam and p2020 that bypass knockdown shield,or add this ability to hammer rounds.
