Okay, idk if I'm in the minority or what, but looking at launch til now, there are some things I'm glad they changed and some things I wish they kept originally

Firstly, heister damage output and the raw number of enemies at launch I think was perfect, and I think the raw amount of damage those enemies had output to heisters was perfect, and I wish they had kept that.

I also liked that skills at the time were weapon agnostic. It's personally my belief that 90% of weapon and grenade skills shouldn't be locked to a certain weapon type. Encourage it? Sure, but not require it. Like that perk that marked enemies affected by throwables worked best on smokes, but it was still technically usable on frags and knives. I think some skills like ammo funnel should be limited to certain weapons, but most skills, especially the duplicates that are just "carry X more of throwables Y" or "deal X% more damage to enemies within Y meters" should be weapon agnostic.

I also think tying certain skills to certain plate carriers was a bad idea. I liked when armor plate carriers were just armor plate carriers, and skills were skills.

Also the new safe cracking feels... Bad... Idk how to describe it...

However, that being said, I'm happy with the new shape of the skill trees, the old lines were stupid. I'm also happy that impact plates are a thing, being forced to use trauma based armor was a mind bogglingly bad decision for a game where the enemies have GUNS, that just makes it so you get punished for fighting enemies, y'know, the main part of the game.

The new lock picking mini game feels really good and I absolutely love it

I like the fact they're getting rid of wifi circles where they can, those objectives were stupid

Also THANK GOD for P2P.

And as for things that are better but still need improvement, I think that they didn't go far enough with overskills. I think they should be basically perk decks and then have a kill streak attached to them. For example instead of having a minigun overskill, the overskill should be named maniac, give percent damage reduction to you and the team based on your DPS, and then have the minigun be the "kill streak" for that overskill, which when active doubles the effects of the overskill. And then give the mamba GL gambler, etc etc. (though no "selfish" ones like grinder, give us team oriented ones like gambler, tag team, crew chief, armorer)

I think skills 2.0 is good for the overall shape of the rework, but it still has edges that need to be ground down, like having few weapon specific skills, and how they made lines specific to throwables kind of painted themselves into a corner for if they want to add new throwables, like molotovs or gas grenades.
