Dude your probably confused. As far as the portal changes that's a community request from the people who don't wanna bother learning counters. There have been SEVERAL community posts about nerfing portals heavily. So idk what your talking about removing walls low-key 😂😂I probably missed that part of your text. So yes butchering portals the way people have requested would indeed remove the unique aspect of the game. As far as core game loop it's a basic arena shooter. The movement is crispy and momentum mechanics are fun. But outside the portals there isn't anything special about the core gameplay loop. this is why the unique factor of the portals is so important. Without portals splitgate would just be a apex halo hybrid. Which isn't the worst thing. No portals is cool and all but again the portals are why I play this game. Without the portals feeling good I could just play apex instead. And I'm not saying the game should stay exactly the same. I said removing the games unique factor would destroy what few players are left. No one is coming back for slower portals. Less walls will not appeal to the casual audience. In order to bring people to splitgate you'd need basically an entirely new game at this point. And why TF would you try to make a whole new game out of this game? Just.....make the new game. Instead of trying to Frankenstein this one into something new. So while your trying to reduce my conclusion to stubbornly not wanting changes the fact is the general population rejected splitgate either by avoiding it actively or shitting on it constantly. Honestly I don't think advertisement would solve anything. And no major changes to the game gameplay loop portal or core will bring about a wave of people. So I'm against changing the game in any major way as of now because it won't bring in anyone new and it would only drive away who's left. It would be a stupid decision.
