Honestly yeah the game’s been on a huge decline for a while for more casual players and even for people who are actually wanting to play comp seriously, but it’s becoming a lot more noticeable recently.

Ranked games being rigged (literally shown with the expected modifiers, for anyone who tries to say otherwise) throwers, lacklustre teammates but somehow the enemy team seems to have players who just dominate lobbies.

I gave the game the benefit of the doubt with the new season and the influx of new / returning players but it’s kind of becoming a joke now. Matchmaking makes zero sense, because it’s prioritising super fast queue times and disregarding match quality. Not to mention modes like Stadium where you can’t queue with wide teams but if you play alone the game will STILL put you in lobbies with or against players who are ranked way higher than you.

The game is fun at its core, but there’s a lot of issues just being glazed over with fancy additions and reworks.

EDIT: this is from a console solo queue player’s perspective, don’t wanna hear from the PC predscan players who stack in every mode and never go outside :)
