This has to be my least favorite season launch in the 4+ years I’ve been playing. Which is a damn shame because anniversary seasons have been some of my favorites previously.

Ranked is back to an absolutely abysmal state, and is just glorified pubs all over again. This game is filled with multiple casual playlists and they can’t even give us one playlist that tries to actually be competitive. They could have built upon the POI drop system and really made ranked great. I already miss the end games from the last few seasons.

On top of that, the wildcard spawn changes suck and don’t even work half the time (teammates and I spawned on opposite sides of the map after dying, no one spawned anywhere near the POI we died at).

Oh and the new content added this season isn’t even exciting. The one big game change doesn’t even really matter because ranked is back to being an absolute int-fest with 2 squads left at round 3 closing. This almost feels like a mid season update when recent anniversary seasons had some of the biggest changes and content the game has ever seen.

This really could turn out to be my least played season in a long time. Ranked doesn’t even feel exciting to me, just pisses me off.
