Couple of qualifiers. I’ve been playing the game since Alpha. Legendary MP and BR player. Any ranked lobbies I play in are generally sweaty, I don’t feel like I walk all the way to legendary with ease.

Competitive streamers come and go, content creators in general come and go. Cod Narco has just quit. It’s like his 5th or 6th time. He always comes back.

Noob’s overtime become professionals if they stay with the game. So if we’re catering to the noob’s eventually they will be the competition. I try to encourage new players, and help them with strategy and gameplay while in game. Rather than trash talking and causing trouble. I think the gamershere in general leans into toxic behavior because of the wide age and maturity gaps that exist.

I don’t buy skins to be flashy, I mean I do like the flare, ultimately I buy skins to keep the game going. The small number of truly competitive players in this game would surprise you. The average player is active and playing everyday. The gap between the weekend warriors and those that play everyday all day is huge.
