@Gator762FMJ I was not referring specifically to Hal's post because i know basically most of pros hate gold knockdowns. And i also don't like them because i feel like it is not a skillful feature. You knock the entire team and still it's not enough to kill definitely the squad, and in the meantime you get thirdpartied. Maybe you manage to kill even that team, but then the solo that had a gold knockdown comes back at you and wins the game. It doesn't require any skill to do this and it happened to me multiple times (this usually happens in higher tier lobbies, lower ranks are not a issue). Don't get me wrong though, it's not like i hate them and i'm not saying it ruins the game entirely, but i feel like removing them at least in ranked would improve things.
I agree with all @BaldWraithSimp said. Pros also have the right to whine just like we do here on the forum asking for nerfs/buffs. I don't understand all this hate for them.
@Gator762FMJ You're missing the fact that in high tier lobbies and tournaments the level is so high that you simply do not have the time to finish your knocks because an instant third party will come. Not always, but it happens quite a lot. I don't think a pro can't deal with a golden knockdown but sometimes is just impossible, hence the "crying".
A way back they were allowed in tournaments and i remember clearly a situation where a solo guy selfrevived and won because the other team got thirdpartied. I suffered with the team that lost lol.
@Gator762FMJ They cry just like everyone else, like you, like me and so on.
I didn't know removing an rng factor makes the game boring lol.
@hayhor No because pros will 99% of the times push the standing team, otherwise they'd not get the possible 3 extra points from the downed squad with the golden knockdown shield.
@BaldWraithSimp Yea i think this conversation will never get us to a shareable point of view 😃.
