Why did you add a stupid flinch mechanic?
My instant reaction when getting shot at by a person that I can not see is to slide in to cover and, find out where they are and fight back. That's how I have played from the start...until season 1 t...

I never played battle royale games. Just didn't care for them. It's a pissing contest of camping, which I had my fill with in Call of Duty for years on end. I miss my explosive crossbow bolt. My anti camp weapon. So many tears were had. Anyway. I like the team aspect of Apex, I also liked the movement. You had to put someone down and weigh the risk of chasing them to finish them before they heal. If bullets now slow you down that's out the window. No need to chase them. Pretty pointless change really. That explains why I thought my keyboards shift key was broke. Was wondering why my sprint suddenly wouldn't work.

I thought it was just me at first too. Thought that maybe my left stick on my controller (PS4) was broken so I did some testing. If I found myself on my own I'd just start running and sliding near enemies to see what would happen when they shot me and sure as hell my movement stop dead, no way to escape a hail of bullets like I could before season 1. Played with my friend today and he was experiencing the same change. It's an utterly unwarrented change.
I can understand to a certain point them thinking "Hey, if we add maor flinch then the small hitboxed characters will have to slow down when they are hit" but that's not the right move at all, it just ruins the experience and makes it so you don't stand a fighting chance if you get seen by some dude from behind.
