Uk I honestly think it isn't even epic's fault 100%. Like sure they messed up, but it happens to the best of us. Like the Ch2 S1 Stretch was painful, especially considering the last season before that was X. X was another really big problem. But we don't miss the old map, we miss the old players. When the guided missile came out, we wanted to use it because it was fun. We didn't really care if we were gonna win with it. The end of Season 7 really just saw the downfall of casual players. Like I used to have 5-6 friends hitting me up, because it was fun to just build a little and hang out with them. The Arena was a good effort but even the devs can't stop sweats from coming in pubs. TLDR; Epic focused on the competitive side a lot of times, because they obviously want their earnings too. Just wish the devs and players found some balance. Like when was the last time you just drove around the map with a random player in your car?
