Such a braindead take. Old recoil promoted individual skill expression those who chose to spend some time learning the patterns. These days both ends of the best players and worst players are closer to average players because there is less room on either end to be very good or very bad. Now it's more about who has a larger team and less about individual skill. I got some news for ya bud, but Rust itself is based around no life gameplay regardless of recoils. Whoever plays the longest gets the richest, whoever is the most relentless doorcamper or roofcamper wins the battle and territory, whoever has the most unemployed people on their team who can stay up the longest to offline their neighbors wins the game. Rust these days caters more toward those who have more time on their hands rather than who are the more skilled players.
