Season 22 Patch Notes...
I had two stand outs: 1. Purple and gold gear reduced by 50%. King of Game Balance @ Respawn, please talk about the thought process behind this change. 2. Bot Royale. Yes, I'm pissed about the huge...

@reconzeroI think the reduction in purple and gold loot is early game before the bins reset. At least that's what I'm guessing based on the dev note.
Bot Royale is long overdue but I'm not holding my breath. It all depends on how the bots behave in a BR setting. With so many variables in a BR game, I'm not convinced they'll be legit enemies. If they are stock skin Bangs and Lifelines running aimlessly and alternating between firing randomly and insta-beaming people, it will get old fast.
I actually think the best QOL change is gonna be the reformatting of the death boxes. I struggle with looting quickly sometimes so I think this will really help with shield swaps mid fight and resets before you get third partied.
I'm actually more concerned with what they didn't put in the patch notes, notably anything about matchmaking, anti-cheat, smurfing, server performance, or audio issues. Everything else becomes window dressing until they do something about those things, IMO.
I fully agree with your last statement at the end there Happy.
With what they said "Your priorities are our priorities" yadda yadda - like you said not a single thing mentioned in regards to OUR priorities or theirs.
I am most worried and skeptical about the battle sense. Still not sure if this is specific to a game mode or if this is in pubs, ranked et cetera.
Giving ppl wall hacks and that kind of info one; takes away from many different legend abilities and makes them obsolete, and two: is just bad for gaming in general. Is this a "we can't do anything about wallhackers so here, everyone can have this." ??
Reveal meta is and will always be a cancer for multiplayer competitive gaming.
And rEAspawn LOVES the reveal meta!
