Give credit where is due: FL is fun

The new changes are definitely an improvement!

Heavily disagree. I really dislike how fast battle high generates now. You used to have to work for battle high but now everyone just gets it for free. People just get straight up deleted in a second by mid game.

Frontlines was the only thing left in the game I loved doing so oh well, another thing taken away.

I have had a different experience.

Some of the matches I have won so far have gone this way:

1. start winning by small advantage.
2. adversaries equalize.
3. now we are behind.
4. we make the right moves during clutch time.
5. win by small margin

In my experience it's become more dynamic than in the past. Also, I did not play with any premades.

Don't wanna jump the shark but do note the timing of this. People queuing up early for Frontline are probably people that WANT to PvP. Everyone else is busy doing the patch. Give it time, and the farmers will return.

That being said, the new stuff is really fun.

Frontlines was already like that if a premade wasn't stomping the entire match.

I never play with premades but its so chaotic and hectic now with everyone reaching BH3-5 so quickly. I've already had multiple games with double digit kills but it doesn't feel earned. If they just added the role actions without the change to assists giving 4 BH this would be more enjoyable imo.

I play monk and smite is extremely OP. So many free zero effort kills. Before I had to actually time using fire's reply or combo with pressure point for kills. Now I can just thunderclap in, smite someone, get my free kill and run out.

Finishing a game with 0 deaths does take some effort now though.

Calling it zero effort is doing yourself a disservice. We're so used to only having 4k GCDs and having to get 50 assists for battle high.

Now that killing isn't a herculean task that requires a bit of luck, you're good enough to make the most of these changes. Be proud of that.

[Sunhwapark]

The new actions are funny, I've only used the melee ones so far.. need to play around with them a bit more - particularly ranged.
Kind of reserving more of my judgement towards trying the renovated Borderland Ruins tomorrow.
While people do seem to get BH quite quickly now via assists, they tend to fall just as fast if they aren't capable enough.

[Mawlzy]

I'd agree there's an element of fun just because we have new shiny things and the chaos has increased.

I don't think we'll know what it's really like for at least a month, and possibly much longer. The oppressive DRK+ meta took a while to develop, at least on NA. Once Discord understood what JP was doing, it became misery.

I will say the PvP community seems considerably happier/less pissed off than the player base as a whole, so I'll gladly thank the devs for that.
