Thank you Respawn for the Shield fix :D
For me personally I spend half the game finding no one. Maybe one squad and end up between 5 different squads just to get pelted by all of them. The squads never shoot at each other because they all have ranged so pushing has become a thing of the past. The new meta is sniping and sitting on a roof or in a building till everyone is dead, peaking every once in a while to shoot a shot. The loot is scarce, heals and energy ammo are a pain to come by. The new evo norm is horrible, being a legend that takes increased damage means u have to spend more time hiding and being at range. I've been playing since day one and seeing players sit back like this is disgusting. Hiding in corners and barricading them selves in buildings for nearly 10 minutes at a time is just sad. Every one is scared to push because they have less health and barely any heals. The worst part is seeing a wraith use a hemlock and g7 instead of r99, shotguns, prowler, and any other up close weapons. As a former wraith main as of last season I cant play wraith anymore, the damage increase and near impossibility of pushing anyone has crippled the way most high tier/pro level players play. When I played my first match of season 6 it felt new and fresh like a good change had finaly come and rezed the game. I was wrong the entire play style has changed and not for the good. I feel like im playing blackout from COD4 now. Crafting is a kinda cool thing but it reks the loot spawn. Im ok with the r99 being a package weapon but it just goes to prove that the game favors camping and ranged over close combat. The game feels slow now, boring and lifeless the excitement of engaging in a battle has gone away. You no longer need to worry about extended mags cause mostly every gun can kill you within 10 to 15 bullets. Even gibby amd caustic are spongy now. If the devs don't do something to re integrate close combat I won't be playing much longer. Btw this opinion is based off of playing a total of 90 games so far as of this post. I've given myself a lot of time to come up with conclusions and thoughts on the season. Unfortunately by far this is the worst season to date.
This is disappointing.
I've got every heirloom..
From my perspective I've basically funded the developers to turn the game into a twitch shooter where you can't react to anything and stripped away any sort of skill advantage of movement.
Game is basically worthless now,, up close fights are basically punished in every situation. Low profile legends, well they're *.
I don't understand why the devs keep pushing passive play styles. With the TTK the way it is now, wins don't feel rewarding at all. It's basically whoever gets the first shot.
Mix that with your * servers. It sure is the most fun of all.
I even love how the volt basically has no recoil. Wtf op much?
Thanks for allowing me to believe you're not going to completely change the game from a strategic movement to twitch shooter with instant death so I buy all your loot boxes. Welp not any more.
I seriously hope you loose considerable revenue for the stupid * choices you have made and put into this season, so that y'all have second guesses about doing such stupid * in the future.

But, but, but its because they want to award strategic positioning, aka you need all the skill in the world, to go to the top of the building, barricade it(you got plenty of legends to do so), and to just camp in there, wait to see someone from 50-100m away and to start spamming at him, and your 100% on safety, because they guy your shooting has no idea from where he is getting hit, because this is not CS:GO map, but a open world-map. You know this is very hard to do, and thats why they decide to award this type of play.
Just like in CS:GO some average potato aimers, who thinks they are pro, just because they are sitting behind a wall with a crosshair on a place, waiting to move from there and to 1 shot you, and they call this "skill", positioning and awareness, yeah you need a huge skills to do this .....
Apex has become a joke when they decide to totally s***** on the game origins and to make it into ability spam mix, and to priorize this over really aim/movement.
This game became legendary because of people like Aceu and Dizzy, who was having insane movement and aim and because of the duels, which require a HIGH TTK, not getting melt in 0.5 sec. Everyone loves the overall fast past and movement, to be able to move and dodge bullets and to be able to push and pull insane stuffs like Aceu does in the past. And he barely use his ability, because i doesn`t need to.
Lets take a minute of silences, because all of this is gone.
Its gone with the stupid auto-revive stuff, its gone with how much abilities have taken over the skill gap, and the last changes was just the nail at the coffin.
Nokokopuffs from twitter:
"I think apex needs to evaluate one important thing And that’s shields. Overwatch made a mistake revolving the game around barriers and shields and taking raw skill out. Domes, arm shield, lifeline res, now rampart. I don’t want to see abilities>skill."
Exactly what is happening, abilities > skill.
If i want to play abilities based game i will go play moba games, not BR-FPS game ...
Yes you’re right. And you can be on the receiving end of that too. Getting jumped by a squad can leave you with no chance to react, unlike season 5.
The recipe of "heavily based around gunplay & movement, with slight bonus of legend abilities" definitely is not what's in season 6.
Now it's peek & die.
I honestly like alot of the changes.
But
- Devo was removed because it was too strong, why didn't you change it before reintroducing to floor loot?
- Volt what the hell man? Who sets damage that high per round, with that little recoil, on that fast of a rate of fire?
- To many white evos
- Why the shield change? No one asked or wanted this. I could have seen keeping gold at 4 bars with improved use of small heals.
- While I could live with the shield change, why the hell did the knockdown shields basically revert to season 0. They do absolutely nothing now. You can be knocked and thirsted in 1/2 the time. You literally cut the overall TTK in half.
- rampart... 5 amp walls? Really?
All the other changes, I support mostly, as I have monetarily supported in every season I like the changes you guys make. But damn these were dumb. Like beyond dumb. Nobody wants Apex to be a twitch shooter. Why the hell would anyone play a 10+ minute match to be melted in under a second and a half.

100% this post! Like oh my god xD
Every one of my metrics is down. KD down. AVG damage down. Win percentage waaaaaay down. Might have to try hyperscape. I thought this season was good at first but after 1 week. Nope.
