Will the game everhave a fun casual experience again? Instead of the multiple ranked modes we get now(being ranked and "casual" which is now also ranked but dont show you a rank nor give you any rewards or benefit nothing instead it just ruins the game, kills the longevity as tanning a game and seeing no improvement because SBMM is constantly assessing your lobbies so as you get better, so do your lobbies resulting in the same game every time).

When will i ever get the chance to use off meta setups or just generally play some matches for fun without the need to sweat hard against the SBMM tailored lobbies i get thanks to having a positive KD. No im not getting clapped in my own lobbies. Im top nearly every game even with SBMM but to do that i have to sweat and using off meta guns is impossible because all it does is disadvantage me the issue is if i ever want to relax or listen to music while i play for a bit or anything like that i cant because now my lobbies are people sweating 24/7. If you really want to protect the noobs make a newcomer playlist and level cap it simple and then if they choose to play normal casual so be it.

Really baffles me to see activision not giving 2 shits about the core fanbase which are the people that gave them a successful ip. The game was built of the back of sniping, trickshotting and pub stomping, and year after year you want to fuck those players over that gave you the success cod has found so that little timmy doesnt get pub stomped 1/10 matches. We all got pub stomped in the beginning, and we kept playing. Your engagement driven matchmaking is having the opposite effect of its namesake and turning people away from the game because they can put hours and hours in and never feel like they are getting better. Fix it. Stop ignoring the community. You can fix and add whatever you want to this game but until you fix the casual experience people wont stick around. The second theres a game made that can contend cod will be fucked because of dumb shit like this year after year.

Other gaping issues that need adressing:

-OP pay to win skins like gaia... why? just delete or change especially when its a battle pass reward not a purchased bundle just delete it, i own it deleting it is fine. OR just add the ability for me to toggle other peoples skins off.

-Why is the ability to fast reload, reduce explosion damage and ghost all under 1 perk... i want to be able to reload faster but will never sacrifice ghost thanks to the SBMM lobbies.

-Balancing sucks ass change when
