They're gonna make all sparrows the same speed :DDD

It says "Beginning in Season 23, we’re making that need for speed universal across all Sparrows. After all, you can’t fight crime if you ain’t cute, and that absolutely applies to our handy-dandy modes of transportation, too."

What was not said is the sparrow Always On Time is noticably faster than every other exotic sparrow and that was never intended. Its been on their needs fixing radar for a while.

So now, no matter what 160 speed sparrow, it will move as fast as always on time.

I hope they're making all sparrows the same speed as Always On Time.

SHOULD be all the exotic 160 speed sparrows yes. The lower rarity ones should still be slower.

Which, at this point, if someone doesn't have one of those they probably starting playing yesterday, in which case have fun with your next Eververse Engram.

nah, i think all sparrows should be same fast speed because there's some non-exotics which look perfect to the right person.

I politely disagree
I get what you're saying, some non-exotics actually look really freakin' cool, but the exotics being faster than the lower rarities make them feel more worth-it and "exotic"

[Jagdtiger]

This doesn't mean that all sparrows will be made equally though. It's possible that AoT's terrible handling is unique to it, and other exotics may actually handle better than AoT after the change, but also AoT will still have it's decreased aggression and increased health which may still make it the objectively best

I'd rather have them completely disable eager edge, if they really want to put everyone on the same speed level.
and too bad for speed runners, they can always rely on skills rather than exploits, like back in the days.

The point of an exotic sparrow is that it looks exotic. It doesn't need to be faster than the non-exotics. Might as well just let them all go fast so everyone can enjoy whatever sparrow they like.

I've just realised how much faster sparrows are now. They're all at 190 speed, apart from say 5 or so from season 1, all others are 190. And, not only does that make them all the same speed as always on time, but it feels like they're even faster now. I've just tried the micro mini, which always made it feel faster than it actually is because it's so small, but man now it's like a bullet.

People have always used exploits for various things, even back in the days.
