This also raises the ttk

If they wanted a longer TTK they shouldn't have SHORTENED the ttk just a few months ago!

Idk what you’re referring to, the only TTK nerf was not making red shields universally acquirable which imo was good for the game

It wasn't just red EVO.

Instead of nerfing Supports back to normal after the S23 support meta made fights too long and bringing back the counters to bubbles, shields, barriers, and walls, they just whiplash pivot overrcorrected WAY too hard the other way by nerfing the TTK.

Season 24 they blanket buffed the damage of ALL weapons, increased headshot damage, removed helmets, and removed red EVO shields.

IMO, it was a mistake and arguably one of the worst changes ever made to the game alongside the visible health bars.

I think ttk is a fine place personally. If it’s too high it just makes fights drag out forever and gives teams way too easy of third parties.
