So I decided to make another rant, mainly because the first one was when I was a noob, and I don’t know if I really would call myself a decent player, but I do understand the basics and a bit more.
Matchmaking is still broken, now I understand that Quick Join is just supposed to throw you into the game based on location and ping. I get that, but in no way is this acceptable, there is a server browser, but that still doesn’t put you in a fair game.
Most games I play are HEAVILY lopsided, sometimes, I have trouble getting out of my spawn.
Now I could try and play competitive if I wanted skill-based, but no one is in there, its a ghost town!
Even with the credit incentive it still gives me a time to wait of more than 30 minutes, so now I get forced back into the meat grinder.
Now, I am not that great at shooters, and I don’t need to top the scoreboards EVERY time to be content, but I would think a skill based shooter would put the emphasis on skill.
I held off on making a second rant for so long, because I kept being told time after time, that once you start playing long enough, everything would start to click and everything would get better. I took the open cinematic seriously when the game said I was gonna get “my teeth kicked in”. But nothing seems to change, I keep constantly smashing my face into a wall hoping it breaks at some point.
The developers make no hesitation to update the game with new Mercs and along with that comes more things that can be bought. And don’t get me wrong, I understand that developers have to eat too, but you would think that a free-to-play game model as good as this would fix the issues, and THEN reap the reward of a good game.
And it IS a good game, its fast, fun, and when you actually get into a fair game and both sides can’t seem to dominate the other, it gets addicting as hell, but that type of game is increasingly getting rarer and rarer with each update.
All I am asking for is a fair game, why is that too much ask in most games?
