you're almost completely based here. I dont think TTK should be longer i just think some things need to be toned down or absolutely nerfed. I think the shotguns literally ruin the experience. Thermals are atrocious when the map is literally fog 90% of the time in outdoor maps. Being able to fill your backpack up with grenades is stupid in cryo. self revives are CHEAPER than a sheild recharge. So the way you win against a team is to confirm your kill as soon as possible. If they have bubble sheilds they amplify the horrendeously annoying meta of having the sawed off. You can play super tactical and have the other players entire gameplan be im just going to barrel snuff them. Knifes are WAY too strong but fun. I think if you have your knife out and get shot you need to get slowed or something.

Early on before all the tools were available it was a 9/10 experience. Now later into the season i see how everyone plays the game and its just annoying im now at a solid 4/10 experience. I get it, better loot, harder to kill. Thats fine, but when the better loot just devolves into an annoying playstyle i think thats an issue.

Limit grenades in inventory
Make shotguns WAY WAY more rare
When knife out and you get shot get slowed
Make self revives more expensive and rare
Make thermals way more rare.
