Mechanics that make it easy to get kill without as much effort, skill, or situational awareness. In other words easier for casual players making it a more causal game.
1. bloom / skill increased. shots must be timed well and passed appropriately. ( downside falls apart when under latency
2. Armor lock/ team mechanics increased. Allows for coridanation and anti power meapon mechanics. defends against splatter -blam-'s and helps resist team shotting ( getting cought and shat on by 6 guys
3. jet pack/ Requires awareness. must know surroundings at all times. have to look for bad guys from the sky. Must know the map well when using. does by no means make you harder to kill
The genereal idea behind all of those points is incorrect.
1. nobody times shots because it is more efficient to spam. With an increase in size of the retcle, you can get lucky shots that you shouldnt have hit. Since there is luck, it does not require more skill.
2.NO. armor lock allows people to live longer than they should. That is not a tactic! It can be used strategically, but NOBODY does. It is only used to prevent sticking and getting shields back.
3. Once again, NO. Jetpacks make the other player have to have more awareness. Since the radar picks up people on the same level, or above, you as red, it is not possible to instantly find them. A jetpack gives the user automatic height advantage. It does make you harder to kill. A person below you has a harder chance at hitting your head because you are so high up. They can only shoot your feet. It results in an 8 shot kill when it could have been a 5 shot kill. (I used to play arena, I know what Im talking about)
Dear god I hope you are trolling.
