So three things i think should be changed: remove the 1.5x, make everyone 3 armor, and increase the timer.

Remove the 1.5x: the zoom is perfect for pushing hard and holding angles. Its too good at what it does imo. Im kinda playing the game again and i see ppl mostly play the 1.5x rather than the other scopes. Seeing how ops are being picked more often for being given the scope and those less picked for losing it, i think it over performs compared to other scopes and its time to say goodbye to it

Make everyone 3 armor 1 speed: this slows down the game. If you want to slow down the game i believe this would be the easiest way to do it.

Increase the timer: the current timer does rush people to do actions and naturally people try to go faster to not lose by the timer. Ppl would dedicate more time to droning and would slow the game down in combination with making everyone 3 armor 1 speed.
