Much of the Apex Legends community is certain that the game’s time to kill has been decreased with the release of the Season 20 update.
February 13th saw the release ofthe Season 20 updatefor Apex Legends, bringing some tweaks and changes to the popular battle royale.
While there are some changes have beenappreciated by the community, there are others that have not hit home quite as well.
This includes the game’s time to kill, whichthe Apex Legends playerbaseis convinced has been shortened excessively.
Apex Legends players claim that Season 20 has quicker deaths
The issue was brought up overon the Apex Legends subreddit, where a frustrated player made a post titled: “Anyone else dying extremely quickly since season 20 update?”
They have experienced this in both the game’s casual and ranked play modes, and that it is really hampering their experience in the game.
Based on the responses in the thread, it appears that others have been noticing something similar:
“THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I’VE BEEN FEELING OMG!!! I’m pretty decent but I’m dying so fast … I’ve rage quit the game like 3 times today lol.”
That said, many Apex Legends fans have mentioned that this kind of thinghappens all the timewhenever a new season begins.
“It’s because every single master and pred player has their MMR and rank reset and are scattered through bronze silver and gold in order to climb up.”
This lowered time to kill goes both ways, and only those who run through multiple squads or take extended firefights will be getting red shields in Season 20. So, while the time to kill may feel lower, it’s also likely that players just need some time to get used to the new season.
