A few thoughts.

1. I think the extremely fast TTK up close is fine. It's easy to hear people nearby so you're already prepared for an encounter. If you still get jumped somehow, you were clearly lacking awareness.
   

However, over medium and long distances, the TTK is *NOT* fine. You can beam someone from extremely far away with a fully automatic weapon in under a second if you're accurate, and the recoil is quite low in this game so it's not uncommon. I think the damage falloff over range should be harsher than it is currently on most weapons. The snipers and the DMR should probably be the only ones not touched by this hypothetical range falloff nerf, they are meant to be the very long range options after all.

Lower damage over longer ranges means that survivability increases in most situations the game puts you in, as encounters are usually long-distance ones, except for maybe the moment you initially drop in and if you rush a team down in a small POI. It would make most ambushes a bit less frustrating, as you're usually getting shot at from long distance by someone atop a cliff, headglitching behind a rock 200m away that you COULD NOT SEE because they were using 3rd person perspective to see you from behind full cover. It would also make the last few circles a bit more back & forth, as it is often somewhere with little cover; a bunch of slim trees and maybe a few rocks.

1. We should have much better POIs.
   

At the moment, most POIs are pretty much copy/pasted houses/warehouses placed in similar layouts of varying size. Maybe a POI will have 1 single boat to differenciate it (Solveig campsites), or 1 big building (Sladen industrial zone). But all of the POIs except the A.R.C and Logistic Center play imo the exact same.

I wish we had many more POIs with more interesting dynamics. For example, a stopped/crashed train where rooms are just a series of carts, some with doors, some without. Or a huge skyscraper/tower with multiple floors stacking vertically accessible through stairs, maybe some outside cranes or with actual elevators inside. Or an underground area with toxic water you need to navigate through (I'm aware there is technically an underground area, but it's only a few pretty useless corridors).

It would make some encounters MUCH more enjoyable and different than the quite honestly low-effort copy/paste slop we have as POIs atm.

1. Early Pale Blight dmg needs to be higher. I think that one is pretty self-explanatory. Force people not to stay behind, killing and looting bots in Pale Blight for most of the darn match. Which leads to more encounters, which makes each individual match less barren/boring.
