Season 6 Patch Notes discussion thread

My feedback:

1. Crypto is strong RAT now, he can pick up banner and respawn without need to move an inch ! 🙂

2. Bloodhound is really BEAST now, he can scan every 6 seconds ?? That's super OP....you basically know enemy location ALL THE TIME !!! 

3. Armor : Why you still can find blue/purple evo on the ground ? I think everybody should start with white evo.

4. Holo spray: I'm ok, i prefer taunting dance but this just variation...might be use for cover/distraction while looting.

5. Quest: Hope this one more challenging than shooting puppies all the time.

6. R99 to care package...after seeing Pro laser beam from long distance, I'm ok with that.

7. Weapon change: I guess people will look for Prowler more now.

8. Pylon block gas trap ? What a bull**t is that   ??!! ☹️

9  Poor Pathfinder : Hi Friend ??    Give him 25 seconds cool down, how hard is that ?? done in less than 25 seconds, I can do it in 5 sec.

@asukojo *they*. Bloodhound classifies as non-binary.

@CompleatBeet You're right, thanks for proof reading it !

Bloodhound
Bloodhound needed the buff the most? I'm not entirely sure where you got that information from, since 90% of the people wanted either Wraith nerfed, or Octane buffed, but surely some random streamer said once "Damn, if Bloodhound was just 1% better" and boom, reason for this massive buff. Every time I used Bloodhound, even just using Eye of the Allfather was enough to locate and eliminate enemies. A trait not exactly given to a lot of legends. And now, my ult will basically make me permanently see.

Here is my idea: Just give Bloodhound perma-sonar while the ult is active. That way all we will do is just run around with bloodhound and give even less use to bangalore.

Crypto
Question: Why was that EMP change necessary exactly? And why can't we transfer that same logic to Caustic's gas? But I guess all we keep wanting to see is 3 legends and that's it.

Wattson
Yeah, the Pylon change pleases the ecstatic Wattson player. Get it?

Devotion
So the Devotion keeps the DPS? In other words, less TTK, but let's just hand everyone a weapon with humongous DPS. Great idea.

Weapons in general
- Hemlok change is actually pretty pleasant.
- Charge Rifle change was really needed.
- Can't judge the Tripple Take, I never use it.
- PK... same here.
- Spitfire change pleases me.
- Not sure about the Havoc
- Mosambique change seems good?
- P2020 change was... Also good?
- Sentinel Change makes kinda no sense but I guess I take it.
- Prowler looks good.

Now, this whole TKK change feels like you want to make only sneaking up on enemies viable. It's already difficult to get out of crossfires in several situations. Giving me even less time to react seriously sucks. Another idea: Give every player 10 health and 10 armor max.

Can some explain the change to the charge rifle to me? It doesn't make any sense. I think its to cause more ammo consumption but I don't know why. I play ranked and quick play apex and never run into a problem of too many people using the charge rifle. I'll run into two or three people using it. Also, I don't understand why bloodhound needed to buff more when no one is complaining about him and are actually saying he's good after the last buff. The last thing, we get it, you guys hate pathfinder. 

I dunno why everyone seems to think Charge Rifle is op either.  It does the same damage as basically all the other snipers except it literally shows half the map exactly where you're shooting from.

Also lol at everyone crying about the r99 because, of course, a weapon is perfectly balanced when 99% of good+ players use it 100% of the time (and probably 99% of not good players too).

I don't understand how "everyone having red armor" can upset people either considering red armor is now going to be equal to what purple armor was in season 5 and how many people did you see outside of an immediate hot drop who didn't have purple armor?  Certainly nobody in top 5s, probably not even top 10s (excluding people who hide/sneak their way through the early game).

@ThisCuckSucks Charge rifle has the same amount of total shots before you reload, but increased overall ammo consumption. It's the easiest to use sniper rifle, and can put incredible pressure on targets well outside the range of every other floor loot sniper rifle, with the highest per shot damage of 90 for bodyshots. 

So now the tradeoff for having that power, is that you'd use more ammo than normal to prevent players from being able to pressure constantly, and allow enemy players to have options when it comes to tackling an enemy player with a Charge Rifle. That's why they made snipers have their own specialized ammo. Before sniper ammo change, all sniper rifles essentially had infinite pressure due to the availability and amount of energy, heavy, and light ammo lying around. Sniper ammo change prevents snipers from controlling zones / creating pressure for forever, and Charge Rifle ammo changes just accent that.
