@LordloshBangYour attempt on stating points in honors, but all paragraphs can be boiled down to: "You're bad, I need the kills" - Because in the end, this is all you said.
If you play for kills, that honestly is up to you. Always thought the goal of Apex Legends is winning as the last one standing, and this goal is the one that feeds the most team play. Going for kills merely feeds the ego.
Sure, there are games which don't even allow you to be revived. There are equally games that do everything they can so you can get revived, by making you intangible from enemy fire as you're downed. Unlike here, there is no lifeline that can do such thing passively, so you have to spend a solid 8 seconds on reviving someone. And you are open to get attacked in that period. That is risk enough for your team.
You gain kills either way by eliminating the other squad. If you get third partied, chances are you lose it anyway since it's full strength squad vs damaged squad.
That I'm having the chance to be resurrected is all nice and stuff, but not if everyone runs around with an R-99 or Mastiff and kills you before you even have the time to activate the Knockdown shield.
Don`t tell me people are not interesting about kills in a FPS games, this is the main reason you play FPS games. And Apex is a FPS BR game. In order to win you need to make kills
Kills also gives you point in ranked. Everyone play this games for the kills, and wins comes after that.
So my arguments are spot on.
And i also forget important things, aka armor swap, getting ammo(a lot of times you will be low on this, even cells/med and so on). Which is a HUGE part of the game, and it will be kinda impossible with a so call dome.
Look for above when we talk about third party. How fast you kill the squad you fought at first place(also positioning and million other factors as well, but..) determine if you going to get third partied and if your going to be prepare for it. Armor swap plays huge role here as well.
Also you can reposition and even completely dodge a third party fight, if you lets said get a kill or two, and you won`t care much about the rest. But if there is a dome, you would not be able to armor swap or loot the deadbox and replenish your wasted ammo/heals and so on, which will hurt you big time in later engagment.
This is a game about kill,loot, repeat till you get the win.
Yeah there is a situation where you won`t need to loot a deadbox, but as i said this game offer million situation in every aspect, and they all are all different of some way, so most of the time you need to loot after you get a klll.
GuardianReaper0, then you need to learn how to utilize cover more, maybe even improve your peak, strafe and so on.
If you want a higher TTK, anything after you get knocked is wrong.
Again i have no problem with higher TTK, which will mean - reward for most skilled player, but this should be done in either armor/health buff or weapon damage nerf.
And yeah i believe there is unbalance(big one through the legends) and in the weapons as well. Mastiff is way over the hill for example.
Also knockdown shields are not much of defence against shootgun, but Devs should have though about that, before making Mastiff completely broken.
Except for the Mastiff or double tap Eva8 i usually manage to cover(with knockdown shield when i`m done) for a mag/two or even three, which should be more than enough for your teammates to do the work, otherwise your not deserving to live.
Tho in Season 5 this is a lot worst, because server is terrible and you active your shield, and its active, but he somehow kill you through it, because of the crap servers .....
