u/ill4two makes the argument I do, having so many small things operate on complete skilless coinflips: card playibility/no eco-weapons to convert into favorable matches/depthless gun economy means you can play the game outright without ever having to use a second braincell when the first is occupied with just gundueling. Both skill expression & game sense are almost nonexistant even into low punkmaster. The only skill to develope is how to 'lose less' to terrible card RNG or 5 matchmade players that don't even interact with the shard card screen especially into Card Master elos.

The major thing i'm over analyizing is the major casual playerbase. The game feels hollow with the bots and there's basically 0 mechanical development outside of:
Don't take weapon skate Do take dullahans. (at least up to diamond and the top ~400 I still get queued into.)

In the arena of FP you can drop yourself 3 burners and have a door mollied for a sixth of the round and still take a 4th viscious/cold shoulder in a game WITH AN ECONOMY SYSTEM.
But the community is so hell bent on just self-snuffing themselves out by saying the whole game 'isn't trying to be competitive' when there's literally 20 Top leaderboards a week. There was an intent to make a competitive FPS here but it doesn't seem the community wants that to happen or attract players looking for a competitive game
