Why was TTK changed in the first place

@hayhor revert it, don't revert it, who cares at this point. When are they going to fix the crap that hasn't worked for seasons now?

So why did the shield nerf even happen in the first place? Who was complaining that the fights were lasting too long 

who was really saying “you what I’m sick of? Having too much HP”

I feel like they were trying to emulate Warzone by giving people easier kills in the hopes of trying to compete for best battle royale and make more money, but if people wanted a game like Warzone, then they’d play Warzone 

people play Apex not just for the colourful characters and settings, but for the increased time to kill as well so if you are under fire you’re able to reposition/ use an ability to escape, heal up then get back in the fight 

revert the shield change please, it’s making some character abilities pretty much useless as you’re dead before you can even use them

Main reason people(me including) was playing this game was because of the movement + the longer TTK, which was perfect. Also the infinite skill ceiling,  and there was a pretty much a gap between the skills of the players.

Warzone doesn`t offer that on many levels. The gap is at very high end players, towards the average players. But if we have a rating system of 10. In Warzone you can``t tell the difference between 3-4-5-6 for example. Everyone could get an easy kill hiding and surprising someone.

In Apex Legends there is a pretty much clear gap between all the levels and everyone can see it.

They are introducing camping and sniping meta.

There is so much campers now.

Also because of the lower TTK, squads get diminish in a no time. By the time of the first ring ends, there is less than 7-8 squads 99% of the time, which almost never happen before.

So many times i land with 1-2 squads, fight with them, do the loot, and i can`t find a team, and there is 6-7 squads left. And i`m running and spending pretty much empty time doing nothing ...

Good luck getting better like that.

Main reason i don`t play Warzone as well. Camping on a building won`t make you improve.

It's actually a really smart move from Respawn to be fair. Warzone is the game to beat and has a lower TTK so by matching that, it opens up the door for other players to come over and try it out which also means bigger community, more games and longer lifespan. 

Then before season 6 you got spongescape (hyperScape) which was met with mixed reviews mostly on the games TTK....in walks apex with a solution to that problem grabbing even more players who aren't having fun on another battle royale.

I am currently loving Apex at the moment it's in a really good place amongst other royales. 

@NACHONOV0 while yes, that does make sense, consider this:

Apex when it first released had hit 50 million players within the first month of release, and quickly dwindled to 1 million concurrent players shortly after. Multiple posts here on the boards and on Reddit all quote lack of content initially, but overtime criticized the slow development (not just with content but also with important bug fixes. Audio hasn't worked properly since the game came out, Season 3's introduction of World's Edge exacerbated that issue, and every season we see the same "patched" bugs return to the game, while waiting entire seasons for supposed fixes). 

While yes it's important to continue to grow your player population, focusing solely on that I believe was the nail in the coffin for many long-time players who've not only supported, but also waited for fixes for long standing issues due to their seasonal update schedule. A lot of Redditors frequently meme about how ineffective and slow the development has been, and I think focusing on that would've been more beneficial in the long run to re-attract players who love Apex but grew disenchanted with how poorly it functioned overall. 

I might be the only person on the planet that actually likes the TTK being lowered.  I’m for anything that speeds up the game, gunfights and engagements.  I want apex to encourage aggressive play as much as possible.  As much as I love Apex I always felt that the TTK was a bit too long. 

There are a ton of other problems plaguing the game right now but the TTK in my opinion isn’t one of them. 

What some of you guys that like the ttk change also don't consider is players that just want to solo q and are an above average to good gamer are thrown into hard lobbies. This makes it that much harder to enjoy the game since the sbmm for some reason also forces you to try and carry poor teamates against squads of high level players. It is really ludicrous to be honest. There is just such a small success rate of being able to squad wipe now since if you take any damage you are pretty much doomed instantly 1v3. Now everyone quits instantly anytime something unfavorable happens because the chance to turn the situation around has been drastically decreased. After playing almost everyday since launch I think I am finally through with the game. All my friends are playing something else including warzone and the skill gap has just been decreased enough to make it not feel worth my time any longer.
