Warzone dev admits concern that increasing TTK could hurt \u201clow-skilled players\u201d ActivisionA Warzone developer has admitted that while there have been a lot of discussions around Time to Kill (TTK) in the Call of Duty battle royale, they are concerned that increasing the TTK will hurt low-skilled or \u201ccrappy\u201d players more. TTK and health has been a big point of contention in Warzone over the years. Top players welcomed some of the changes that arrived with Iron Trials, which saw a big increase in health and was meant to be a much more difficult task. A faster TTK has typically been attributed to a way for the game can appease less capable players, lowering the skill ceiling to put everyone on a more level playing field. While it\u2019s not been quite that extreme, and the top Warzone players will rarely find themselves struggling against weaker opposition, a dev at Raven Software has confirmed that this really is the case. During a Q&A with streamer and former Call of Duty pro Tyler \u2018TeeP\u2019 Polchow, creative lead Josh Bridge spoke a bit about the TTK concerns and issues. \u201cThe concern that we\u2019ve always had, the more you increase the TTK, the concern is you\u2019re raising the skill ceiling,\u201d he explained. \u201cCrappier players just can\u2019t take out better players because it\u2019s too much health to chip away.\u201d He added that \u201cThat\u2019s where the fast TTK gives the hope that a low-skilled player may get a random spray,\u201d essentially confirming that the low TTK is primarily as it is to help worse players still get some kills. He went on to say that Iron Trials helped \u201cinform them\u201d of the best options going forward in regular BR. \u201cWe feel like that 50 health [increase] is the sweet spot for Warzone, although it deviates from multiplayer games.\u201d So, while the fast TTK might not ever change, there are clearly internal discussions over whether that should be changed, or health increased, going forward. Whether it happens though, only time will tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
