Thoughts As I Read:
-EVO armor changes are interesting, but reducing TTK by nerfing total shields is seems controversial, what with the Wingman still hitting for 45 a shot. Strategic positioning was already well rewarding IF you knew how to play, so I'm not quite sure what they're trying to accomplish. I guess trying to force more players to think? As if that'll happen.
-Holo Spray? Who cares.
-Quest is back, which means they're trying to keep numbers good for player retention. Wouldn't want to remove that and have to explain why player retention count dropped.
-Legends. Path loses another core part of his identity (namely his ability to secure rings before people know there's going to be a ring) and gets a small practically useless buff. Bloodhound was already pretty strong but apparently they're "under-performing"? Odd. New buff basically gives the enemy team permanent vision of you with BH ulti activated, given that it lasts 4 seconds and has its cooldown reduced to 6 seconds now, and now with even more duration! Crypto changes are welcome, but doubling hitpoints but increasing hitbox size? Will have to get back on that.
-Other Legends. Octane change is good, but I hope that it at least partially speeds you up since you can stim while healing. Otherwise what's the point? Big Booty Loba got a buff to ulti, thats good. Gibralter nerf to the least well utilized part of his kit sure, Bangalore buff thats good, Wattson shoots down Caustic in flight traps? Interesting.
-Loot: Precision choke auto integrated on Triple Take is good, R99 in CP is interesting but I'm guessing it's just going to be Wingman Devotion meta again, Gold Volt as floor loot is neat. More sniper ammo for all you freaks out there who pick that up, and reduced energy ammo pickup for an ammo type that isn't normally seen outside of early-game use. Hmm. Reduced recoil on Hemlok burst is nice, Charge Rifle consumes more ammo but has same total shot per mag interesting, Triple take big buffs right there cool, Spitfire is more accurate neat, more Havoc changes meh, Mozambique Here buff nice, P2020 now hits harder AND has more mag size nice. Sentinel...buff...? Prowler vertical changes are welcome, horizontal not so much.
-Bug Fixes: Great bug fixes for characters, but not a thing for overall issues. Another season of buggy audio, shoddy hit-reg and server performance, and terrible SBMM.
