@hhnbbfggty66Yes, thank you for your detailed argumentation on why this feature wouldn't be good to have in this game. I'm glad you took your time to point out all the issues, potential story related conflicts and abuses with this system. It all looks so clear now.
Jokes aside, killing a downed target is about as skillful as killing a Paratrooper during war with a sniper. Hence why I'm not doing it. I would much rather kill the whole squad without cheesy kills than going ahead and taking down downed targets only to rack up this kill counter for... what reason exactly? Flex? Never too sure what's going through the head of a hardcore player, to be quite honest with you.
I can give you arguments for him.
First and the most important reason is, why you should be awarded with a dome, when you are killed(in Apex knocked) ?
In any other game when you die, you actually die, you don`t have a second chance.
You got youself into a fight and you get outmatched and died - period.
I undestand the knock and revive mechanics, and they are okay, but they are already enough.
Knockdown shields are already too much. They are there for a reason. Lets said you are down by a chance or trying to chase and finish a guy or just get a unfortunate knock, and if your teammates win the fight you can get revive or so.
But in any other BR, when your down your down on the ground and you can move very slowly and got nothing to protect you. If your teammates are close they can safe you, by killing the enemey before they focus on you Otherwise its entirely your own fault for getting knock/killed.
Why you should be awarded by being the worst player in the current situation, and why should i(for example) should be penalized and not get the kill i deserved ?
What is the sense in order to kill someone with purple you need to do 200 damage, and in order to kill someone with a Knockdown shields i need to do either 200/450 or 750 damage just to break the shield and then i need to do 100 more damage in order to get a kill.
Its already stupid and strong enough. Knockdown shields are there to prevent a really fast kill. Not only that but there is a no-hit reg when you down someone and trying to finish him asap. You are not inflicting any damage, but your wasting shots and making yourself vulnerable, which is already stupid enough.
Next argument is third party. This will make it way worst. When i down someone i should be able to focus and kill him straight away if i got the time. This will stretch the fight by a lot and in the wrong way.
If you/they want a Higher TTK, they should just nerf damage or buff armor/health and nerf the healing a bit. It will be actually better and reward skill more.
But when your down your down, nothing should be there to prevent you from getting entirely kill, except your teammates.
Next one you are losing a fight, and instead of getting deservedly killed, you are actually getting a reward a full shield ..... This is straight up dumb.
Also your making a point to fight the rest of your squad, but this limit my gameplay by a lot. This makes already insanely imbalance 1v2 or 1v3 fight, and make them even more impossible.
This limit strategy/tactic to lure and separate enemy and killed them 1 by 1.
And what if i down someone and decide to go for the rest of their squad, but they decide to run, and i either have to do lets said 850(shield and health) full damage in order to kill the target i already killed ..... Or should i chase and make myself vulnerable to third party even more .....
Wrong on all sides.
As i said it million times. Don`t mess with people kills. I`m playing for kills. If i get knocked, its because i was outmatched and i deserved. If my teammates are there to safe me - good, if not it was entirely my fault.
All revive stuff should be kept to normal, no auto-revive b.c., no dome faster revive, and such b.c. This only makes the game and the whole experience worst and not feel satisfying.
