    I often see people ignore medals entirely - even when they are in a position to safely pick them up. Other than that...more players just need to learn how to play defensively. Even if that means retreating to their base and not letting someone on their team get nuked in the last couple of minutes during a match.

    I don't understand the problem. This change makes even tanks think twice about absorbing all the medals and becoming an invincible repository for medals, which slows the pace of the game down and basically locks in a win once a WAR or PLD has 300+ medals. You just aren't going to kill them as it is unless you stunlock both the tank and the healer simultaneously, which makes it difficult for a losing team to make a clutch play to overtake and win.

    I can understand the frustration of losing your medals at the last moment, especially as a tank. But there are means to stop this.
    Being out of the way, or simply not taking all the medals on yourself. I'm seeing a lot of Ninjas taking coins. Quick movement speed without sprint, and the ability to hide and chill out in a corner somewhere holding your medals. There's no reason a tank should take everything now!
    Where talking about solo queue here. Even at a defensive position, in a close game with coins spread you can easily burn some down with heavy metal+ full swing and a melee lb.

    I thought it was an unfair mechanic but with the new damage increase it's just dumb.

    It's so bad now that you pretty much want to start your games losing. I lost count of how many times i lost a match today last minute because of this change.

    If you can properly distribute the medals, everyone should end the match with 150. Although the 175 threshold (which can happen if you kill the same person twice where they drop 25 medals) is a bit too much on non-tanks; it's a whooping 30% and that's a death sentence to non-tanks.

    I agree I've seen lots of games where the teams are losing that they will turn it around by saving CD till the end and just blowing up a player or two

    With the 8m timer change, it times up perfectly that the team that's winning in the beginning would gather enough medals to get roflstomped by the losing team, and then the timer would time out. Before the winning team could at least pull it back but now there's no time.
