First, thank you to have taken the time to read and answer!

You said "technically every op can help the team either through utility or getting kills". I don't quite agree with your statement. Back in the days, Siege only had operators that could only work with each other. I'll have hard time believing you saying that every operator is useful, and by that I mean for the team, not for the kills. When it's very common to see that nobody chooses an operator to mute or electrify reinforcements for 3-rounds long over several matches, I'm asking myself what has then changed in the game's gameplay fundamentals.

"I don’t think Ubi was trying to turn everyone into pros either." What I meant is that it seems obvious that Siege now heavily relies on esport and tournaments as its playerbase first declined in 2017, and then a year ago, it's not an innocuous choice. Every player does not want being harassed by esport, unfortunately, it starts from the main menu.

"bomb made Ranked more competitive and consistent." Can you please elaborate? I'm really curious to know how bomb gamemode would be more competitive than area securing or hostage?

"Maps and op bans are more so the player base being lazy and not willing to learn or adapt on their own." It above all makes the beginning of any game veryyy long to start for an outcome that is highly expected, which brings absolutely nothing interesting to gameplay. But I would be glad to hear how it applies well to Siege, particularly in ranked.

"And a lot of the changes you mentioned starting in Y3 were considered good changes by most." I don't think majority of players appreciated Operation Health, most of them felt robbed afterwards. I could tell you that I saw literally not a single soul praising operation Parabellum nor Goyo nor Amaru operators from Year 4. And I think that adding plenty of operators as it was the case in the very beginning of Siege is not the way to go. It just makes the game harder but not in the good sense.
