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.

    @IDTAKEN192000lol!!!

    My answer to that would be the work has already been put in to get the kill. We're just getting trolled after the knock by these massive knockdown shields. lol. I've been playing Apex since day 1. I transitioned to Apex from Pubg, and these knockdown shields stood out from the start as a major difference. It took me a while to get out of the habit of going after downed players in Apex...in a game that you can just pick up the tag and respawn them back in anyway lol!!

    @hhnbbfggty66You 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.

    Actually Warzone is better in the revive thing. 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.

    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.
