Taking the fun and skill out the game

@budzaiComing from higher ranks I can say the zipline nerf will make a HUGE difference and this will effect everyone and how they play quite drastically, except new players or those stuck in bot lobbies.

As for Lifeline, while they have buffed her role to support the team (which is a good thing) she is now the only legend that doesn't have an ability to utilise in a fight. She is effectively a dummie that can revive 2 at a time but can't reposition the rez shield when getting shot at from multiple angles like before and no combat benefit.

No good being able to revive two when you're dead.

@MandatoryIDtag Somehow totally missed your post. The amount of times I've been trapped in an area listening to ''my vision is clear'' thinking, well good for you cause i'm blind and can't move.

I thought he was in a pretty good spot too.

I think from the dev's perspective they are trying to make zip-lines a more risky push, none of us really know what the extent of the re-zip cool downs are going to be.

I think talking about taking skill out of the game is a bit so so, mashing the buttons on the zipline to exploit the movement isn't exactly skill, more than it is just insider knowledge.

You could say now that picking the right time to jump and re-zip requires a higher skill cieling, as it requires a bit more reading and prediction to get it just right.

Likewise with Wraith, the fact that you can now see enemies in the void is HUGE! The real test will be picking the right time to make the jump into the void. 4 secs with increased speed too is going to be huge for her kit and I cannot wait to play her again. 

@budzai What part of taking the fun out of characters is ''crying''? Lifeline was picked for her fast heals/rez and now they're gone.

I'm not saying she shouldn't have a slight nerf in this case but removing the only thing she brings to a fight isn't a good idea especially when her other abilities could do with a rework. EVERY other legend has something they can use and being stationary while healing slightly faster is rarely useful mid combat and usually used post fight. The doc rez, if not able to cancel and reposition will be a partial nerf in and of itself with the obvious advantage of cover firing and you're the one who's delusional if you think Lifeline has the most annoying hitbox.

As i said earlier, they have taken away basically all utility for a player to win a fight and now you have to fully rely on your squad meaning her overall pick rate will go down for a more aggressive and/or useful legend.

@CabowseIt's the direction it's going. They first tried removing bunny hopping and now being able to manoeuvre on ziplines. Will they take out armour swapping or sliding next? If i wanted to stand still while shooting then I'd be playing Valorant or something else.

Edit: @BaldWraithSimp slipped in while writing this essay but what he said. :P

That's almost as disturbing as watching gibby do loba animations...

Everybody that says: Now you have to think about using the skill.

Is playing in lobby's where 3rd party is not a thing.

Apex legends has AMAZING movement in the game.

They should make all legends feel faster and make skills faster.

Yet they counter the great movement the game has with SLOOOOW ability's

Everything requires so much time.

3rd parties are getting worse with every patch because every patch they nerf the few things that you can use to prevent dying to 3rd parties.

And this is all done with the intention they want people to think about using their skills?

You can't realy respond to things with a 1.5 sec charge timer.

Basicaly wraiths Q is now a Panic button that does not work anymore.

This is an FPS its a responsive skillbased game.

If i want to think about things and plan them out i should be playing RTS.

Another example is Loba's Q.

They should have reduced the distance by a lot and make it fast.

That way you get characters that are fun to play.

Who tought that making a ringy bel sound should while loba walks would in any way benefit the game?

Loba is supposed to be one of the most talented people in the apex universe right?
Why does it take her longer to put her jewelry on after a Q then it takes my Gf to do it.

And watson clapping her hands after placing fences is the most frustrating thing in the game.

But i can easily avoid that By not playing the *

YOU ARE KILL LEADER

EVO SHILED UPGRADE ( WHOLE SCREEN IS FLASHY )

Every decision that value's your game looking cooler or funnier instead of making the game feel better is a bad decision.

And every patch so far proved to me that the dev's do not understand that.

Because obviously the one that made the killleader and evo animation does not get them verry often....
