@hayhor I cannot believe that there are no legend changes!! They need to fix so many legends! The best be an update with legend updates soon.

@hayhor I understand that they do indeed want a weapon hierarchy, but why why why would they remove Hammerpoints!? They were in a great spot in my opinion, as they naturally buffed the mozz and P2020 to a degree that made them viable but not OP.And they are removing Kinetic Feeder, AND Boosted Loader on top of that? Only to add Anvils back (which essentially turn the 301 and Flatline into a poormans G7 and 3030)?I’m definitely all for mixing things up, but this seems like a nerf to the overall weapon balance they struck in S13 and S14.

Btw, can we all now accept that arenas is a dead mode already? Even control and gun run has more updates than arenas in the last couple of seasons. If Respawn can’t commit to the mode, remove it as a permanent mode, make a rotating LTM playlist.

That sentence implies that stickers will in FACT be in the general loot pool, only that these specific ones will not be as they are a separate cash grab. This however, is nice. "FIRING RANGE: ALL LEGENDS UNLOCKEDHaving trouble deciding on which Legend to unlock next? Want to try a few different tacticals and ultimates before pulling the trigger? Now you can! In the Firing Range, all Legends are unlocked, giving players the ability to test out Legends that they don’t own yet."Sadly, hammerpoints are gone which means the Mozambie is back to being trash. And the P2020 is back on the floor, BOO! At least Ring 1 pre-shrink is up to 90 seconds now instead of 60.

@BigMacAttack8u 3 reasons why legend balancing probably was not done-1- Pro league is next week. They can't completely change the legend meta right now.2- New map. Want current ability data on the map.3- The legends that need the most work have heirlooms coming.

@Axs5626Sxa5001 I'm with you on how you feel about the hop up changes.

Gonna be a negative Nancy here:

1. No rank changes so it’s gonna be terrible for everyone who plays rank still. Only plus are the map rotations.
2. No Legend changes. Really? So my games are still just Horizons and Seers.
3. Weapon changes are fine but won’t change how we use them.
4. Pathfinder remains passive-less for 3 years. Lifeline is still a pick for the die hard LL mains. The recent LL “meta” was a gimmick and I don’t see that being used in the main ALGS event.
Overall it’s the same season with a new map with features to get more money from you like gifting.

@hayhor Oh yeah, not sure why i read crafter instead of crate. Then i don't think people will pick it up that much unfortunately.
@Axs5626Sxa5001 Well Kinetic feeder should just be removed from the game, it's probably the most useless one out there lol

Saw this circulating around twitter. These are just fan-made changes.

@Cheese9Man 🤣 Clearly written by a pathfinder that hates defensive legends. I like all of it tho!

Well, yes, it's a free to play PvP shooter. The game is not the product, we are.

Respawn posted these patch notes “highlights” and clearly the person who was tasked to make these were struggling since the notes were so lackluster. LOL.
I’m at a point that a new legend isn’t enough content anymore. Make the LTMs permanent. If this map stinks just like Storm Point, then there’s nothing new.

I just wish that they could have more transparency why there was no legend changes. They could have lessened the backlash by explaining why they had to delay any changes. I guess that legend balance AMA was just to pacify the crowds.
