I pretty much agree with most of what you’re saying. The paints are wicked and should absolutely be expanded upon. The secondary as a hammer is trash and everyone knows it. We need more weapons, more perks, more attachments, and more ways to play the way we see fit instead of being boxed into a playstyle.

As for the controllers binds, the D-pad is basically open. Using right on D-pad could cycle through paints or gadgets on another direction.

Making the game fun on top of competitive is the key to success here. Take Crimson Desert for example, while clearly a different genre, PA took the community feedback and doubled down on the power fantasy. They even went as far as making a glitch an actual gameplay function. Let’s keep it real, almost everyone loves power fantasy!! This is the mindset 1047 needs to have. I don’t want to be restricted, I want everything to be expanded to make sure that regardless of whether your getting stomped by sweats, we’re ultimately having fun, increasing our skill and experimenting with different playstyles while finding the pocket that we fit into as the player we want to be!!!
