Season 6 Patch Notes discussion thread

You showed right there that you obviously don`t know how to balance the legends, same with the weapons.

Weapons:

We got gold Mastiff, as tho the normal one is not totally OP enough, great ....

Reduce the Hemlock recoil(it was quite easy to be fair) on the burst mode and also a faster fire rate in the burst mode, this is plain bad. Hemlock was super strong. Everyone who can argue with that can just see how Apryze dominate with it. Now will be even more OP.

Prowler burst mode was super strong, and you reduce the recoil, why?

Increase the recoil in auto-mode won`t change anything, as most people are using it for the burst.

Snipers got a huge buff, in mag size and most importantly by lowering the TTK, which will make a lot of players like me quit the game straight up because of that. 
If we want a camping Sniper/LMG meta from a huge distances(that become more and more modern) we will just play Warzone.

Legends changes:

I think Bloodhound will get a bit OP, but he/she deserved it, but why you did not do the same with Bangalore? Making her useless ultimate from 4,5m.(it was ridiculous actually) to 3m. will actually change nothing. She probably have the worst ultimate or second worst ultimate(maybe a tie with the Lifeline) in the game. Bangalore was balanced, but few seasons ago, by that time you buffed a lot of legends and she is one of the worst now. She deserved a way better ultimate than this one. Her passive could be better as well. Her tactical is okay, tho 90% of the playerbase is using all kind of macros/cheats and they are lasering you through her smoke(without DT ofc).

Rampart - looks totally over the top. Crazy strong.

And this thing, that you think is a drawback its actually ridiculous - "Rampart places a mounted machine gun that anyone can use". Same with Revenant ULT.

Unless he is trolling no one will come at you, and place their ultimate in your possession. Same with Loba ultimate. This ain`t drawback.

From 5k+ games, there is probably less than 5 times that i use an enemy Death Totem, and it was because of a third party or terrible placement.

So that is just a +, because your teammates will use it, not the enemy.

Pathfinder now needs a rework to his passive(actual buff to it).

Crypto - your still messing with the revive/respawn thing, which i stated is a horrible bad for a million time and not going to write the same stuff over and over again. Can`t say anything about Crypto drone, because we have to see if its easier to hit now, if its, the double hp will be good.

Lifeline - no changes or completely remove to the auto-revive - this is a disaster, and expect to lose huge playerbase because of it. Everyoner is tired of getting his deserved kill stolen. Not to mention how completely imbalance the game if your team doesn`t have a Lifeline. Its all wrong on all level.

Loba - good change in there.

Overall conclusion: 

After the Lost Treasures i kinda lost interest in the game. The Auto-revive was just a too much too handle, when your playing random teams, K/R drops significantly which speaks for itself. Make impossible to 1v3 and almost impossible to 1v2 if there is a Lifeline in there. Make plenty of fights unfair and unbalance, and its a totally wrong.

Not changing that is just plain bad. And not only that, but your taking the wrong approach. Your lowering the actual skill TTK with the guns, which will mean Aim/Movement skill involved, and your increasing the TTK by abilities, which is completely wrong from me, and not rewarding the deserved player.

And can someone explain me this pls:

"Our goal for this is to bring down the TTK (time to kill) a bit in order to better reward strategic positioning." 

What this even mean ? Strategic positioning really? Sorry but this doesn`t exist in Apex Legends. Just because you get into high ground, doesn`t magically make it strategic positioning. Lets be real, there is no really strategic positioning in Apex Legends.

Now closing the distance to a camper team, that sit comfortably in the zone and just camp in there most of the time will be pain in ******, and this will make game extremely frustrating(tho as it not already is ) ....

The real unique thing about Apex Legends was the high TTK(its not that high to be fair, without a cover you could be stretched in a second or with 2 shots, also your not spawning with purple armor(and now to get to 200 you need to EVO it ....), the stretch of the TTK comes from healing/abilities and so on. And it would be way more reasoning to nerf this, than to actually nerf the gun time.

Now 2 Wingman shots to the head and goodbye, Mastiff will be even more ridiculous now. Wrong on all levels and i expect you to lose a lot of skillful players because of that - higher TTK will always rewards highly skilled players.

The way i see it, your trying to bring new players with fancy things, but your losing your existing one, by not fixing the problems the game have, and they are many. Instead of adding more and more layers that only makes the game worst and way more complicated, you should have fixed the current issue.

Instead of adding new legends every new season, can you finally try to balance the current ones?

Sorry but no fixes to broken audio, no fixes to the terrible servers(on all levels), not going to even talk about SBMM, and how much of a handicap your thrown if you solo queque, not going to fix the cheaters, and all the players that are running all kind of macros/scripts for all kind of stuffs(and i`m pretty sure 90% of the streamers are using macros/scripts all over the place), not going to listen and finally give us a Solo Mode.

I don`t see a reason to comeback at the game after the break i took. Maybe will watch some streamer(a fair one that are not running all kind of no-recoil and fast single fire mode scripts/macros), to see how the game feel, but definitely not going to come back.

Lowering the TTK will just increasing the Warzone playerbase, which was 1 of the main reason players were choosing Apex over Warzone.

Good job on ruining your once great game, that has so much potential.

P.P. E9ine_AC, just wait and see how many people will get not lasered, but totally wrecked in a no time with the Devotion, because probably more than 50% of the playerbase is running no-recoil scripts/macros.

Whatever recoil pattern they put on the gun, its going to be useless.

R99 was a perfectly fine weapon that needed a lot of skill to be used at it maximum, but people were complaining, because they were getting killed by a cheaters and no-recoils macro/scripters from a huge or mid distances without missing a shot.

Now it will be way worst, because at least R99 damage was low, low mag + if you strafe good against a fair player(aka not a cheater/no-recoil scripter) he will miss his entire mag, because of the fast fire rate.

And now there will be like million threads with complain, and they will be perfectly reasoned, because they lowered the TTK(worst thing ever) and not nerf a certain weapons, tho they actually buff it, and bring back some of them, ahahahha.

I'm locking this thread as it seems that my warning went unheeded.

This kind of back and forth is not acceptable on AHQ and if it spills into other threads then bans will be handed out.

If you cannot post in a polite manner without insulting other users then please refrain from posting on AHQ.
