Thank you Respawn for the Shield fix :D
Fundamentals are movement and positioning. The reliance on shields made many players ignore those basic fundamentals. TTK is not a fundamental. Many players are in for a rude awakening if they dont adapt and actually learn how to play.

@IDTAKEN192000The game does now require much more brain power to make plays. What made apex stand out among COD, Battlefield, and Warzone was the long battles and high damage outputs. I played many games today with 8+ kills and barely reaching 1.5k damage. Any season before that would've been a 2k plus damage game. Just takes most of the fun away in my opinion. But I agree that movement and positioning is a fundamental of the game, which is why the Devs implemented more cover and fixed choke points. If there wasn't a reduction in armor I'd say this was a great update nonetheless.
I feel the reduction in armor also lessens the chances of 3rd parties because fights end sooner. Getting 3rd partied has been a major complaint forever. Not only that but I feel like since fights are over quicker I get into another fight faster making the game flow better than it did before. I really think people just need to adjust before writing this season off.
Didn't realize how much I relied on my shield until it was reduced; definitely takes some getting used to
Game feels completely roll-of-the-dice random now.
Random in a negative way.
Fights are boring now.
I liked the idea of quicker TTK. But it just seems boring atm. Seems a lot of instant death.
Hit someone with multiple double tap G7 shots and theyre still dancing about. But if i flick a automatic at them they dropwith 3 bullets. Or vice versa. Just feels off.
Might just go play warzone instead.
@IDTAKEN192000 I feel like a better way to fix third parties would be to adjust how far bullet audio extends I don’t think reducing overal health makes it much better cuz in the event you do get thirded it’s basically over for your team
And that changes what exactly? Does it really matter if you have more overall shield health if you are low or completely out of shields when the third party comes?
Idk, it's still day one of the update. Maybe it's too soon to say either way.
To me it feels like it's more early game before you get that evo shield to red that the TTK is felt but after you hit that red it feels like business as usual and since I'm getting to more fights that red shield comes fast. Then by end game the remaining squads have all had red shields. I have not seen a single blue shield and maybe one or two purples. It just feels like everyone is on a more even playing field throughout the match. I feel like people are being too reactionary. Let's just give it some time before flooding the forum and jumping on the devs for "killing the game".
Maybe some tweaks will find a happy medium, who knows.
Im from South Africa, our ping is terrible but we still play, but now with the nerf of armour as soon as someone sees me I'm dead, it's literally unplayable.. I have played since season 1. It was fun untill now. GG I'm out.
