Double Time isn't Double

Double Time got a speed nerf from 2.0 to 1.5 but the ability is called Double Time and with this nerf Double Time can't be called Double Time due to it giving a 1.5 speed boost instead of a 2.0 speed boost this makes the ability name somewhat misleading.

  • Maybe it should be called something like Speed Pad or something? Although, I don’t think Double Time necessarily means double speed.

    @TheSprinter85 Then why do you think it was named Double Time ? I thought it should've been named Double Speed since Double Time sounds either contradicting or confusing.

    I don’t really know to be honest. Perhaps it is because the Double Time overclocks allies - making them work overtime by giving them a speed boost - and getting the allies to the objective or into the fight faster. 

  • I play Apex Legends and a character called Bangalore is having ability double time but it gives only a 30% speed boost. But I don't think Engineer needed a nerf for double time.

  • Since the general movement speed of everyone was increased the nerf to Double Time seemed reasonable so players weren't moving at uncontrollable speeds yet I don't think they reduced the speed buff from arcane enigma.

  • @Studman61 The total speed without the buff and nerf was 28.50 with the buff and nerf it's 22.50 and without the nerf it would be 30 not a big difference
