You could kill one team and turns out one guy has a gold knockdown shield so you miss out on your kills, plus he gets higher positioning if you get attacked while trying to finish that guy. It's a lot different when money is involved, you were referring to algs when you said the rule is dumb. But whaaa, stop whining! I don't see the issue when I play pubs!

@hayhorSame reason why Lifeline drone doesn't heal you anymore in storm so you can't just sit inside the ring deliberately and call it a 'tactic'. Gold knockdown wasn't removed due to one guy complaining, a lot of people were asking for it.

The gold knockdown is fun in pubs, it can be really useful at times but in ranked in honestly it's pointless. In ranked regardless of whatever knockdown shield you have you get finished instantly because of KP and it is very very rare that you even get the chance to crawl away to safety let alone self revive yourself.
Also, on the flip side when you do kill an enemy with one, it's well annoying at times that you have to go back out your way to find a kill that person on the floor.
There is no aspect of a gold knockdown that requires any level of skill, it is purely down to luck and luck only.

I don't mind if gold knockdowns go away. Sure, it's really cool and all when you can pull it off. But at its heart it's really a cheese mechanic and, while I don't mind if they stay, I also don't object to its removal.
If I remember correctly, heat shields were causing all sorts of late game issues in high level play.
- hayhor4 years agoHero@rockyboy1998 Wait you kind of contradicted yourself. You said they are pointless because everyone thirsts right away but then you said you have to find the person with it......so people obviously dont thirst all the time and sometimes it works?
Also it is a BR. All BRs have luck built into them. I really dont see what the issue is with an item that only has an impact 1 in 1000 games. 🤷♂️ - 4 years ago

"it is very very rare that you even get the chance to crawl away to safety"
Stating, that there are situations that you are able to get away. There is zero contradiction LOL!
BR's do have luck, yes. I've just always found the gold knock pointless.
- 4 years ago@hayhor I don't really see what the issue is with the removal of an item that affects 1 in 1000 games! It isn't going to make the game any different! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- 4 years ago@BaldWraithSimp it's all about having the option .
look at your phone , am sure there are alot of options that you don't use and you feel ok with it but when you want to use it and you don't find it then it's a different feeling , right ? - 4 years ago@maximas1986 :/
- hayhor4 years agoHero@rockyboy1998 To me you did. You then said if an enemy has them it is hard to finish them. So that to me means they make a difference more often.
- 4 years ago@hayhor Listen bro, you’re making up your own story out of my comments. I’ve literally just told you I wasn’t contradicting myself. Stop dragging it out 🤦🏻♂️😂
- hayhor4 years agoHero@rockyboy1998 It is how I read it. One sentence said it doesnt make a difference and the other said it did. 🤷♂️
- 4 years ago@hayhor Well I can't blame myself for you reading my comment wrong.
If you read it properly I said that it is 'very very rare' that you are able to get away.
I'm not going to repeat myself again, just read the post properly next time, cheers! 🙂 - 4 years ago@rockyboy1998 stop being polite and spank him :P
XD - hayhor4 years agoHero@rockyboy1998 I read it. I'm just saying what my interpretation was and still is. If you meant something else I believe you. 🤷♂️
Self revives arent going anywhere tho. They are in most games. The bigger issue to me are knockdown shield health bars. - 4 years ago@hayhor They won't ever go anywhere. You're right.
There is more important things wrong with this game that need to be addressed over a gold knock anyway! - hayhor4 years agoHero@rockyboy1998 Like tap strafing! 👀🤦♂️🤣
