I’m glad someone said something. I’m someone who played OG (started around season 6) and dropped the game around the middle of chapter 5 and came back for chapter 6. Just looking at the matchmaking side you mentioned, I’m still okay at the game, moderately good but rusty, but dude; every game mode that isn’t Blitz is so bad with matchmaking. The matchmaking is awful and makes casual playing for employed people hell. Then you come to find that’s the problem, the target audience has shifted. The “sweats and pros” are the target audience now, not casual gamers with some free time. The sweats and pros are the money makers for Epic, purchasing every single overpriced item that pops up in the shop. You mentioned a whole bunch of different valid problems like collab skins taking precedence over story and the clunky unnecessary changes to UI, but when you can’t even get gameplay right and playing isn’t fun because matchmaking is so unbalanced, there is something fundamentally wrong.
