I was taught that if you don’t have anything nice to say then you shouldn’t say it. That isn’t a lesson that I always follow, but it is one that I want to follow here. That’s more what I meant on the no, you don’t.
I have no constructive feedback that I can provide you at this time and I don’t want to be actively cruel. One of my criticisms is completely out of your hands because it is the questions being asked at this time. But other things… I have no idea or alternative I can provide for things I do not like. What I thought this was is also so very different from what it is that there’s no point in discussing that because it would be like trying to drive a Buick the next star system over, not the tool for the job. Due to this, I don’t want to just list things that I dislike and be discouraging.
I don’t even understand what you’re trying to ask here
Now you have played, and assuming it was a live jury of 12 judging your question - whether it’s what shirt to wear, or whether to take a 6 month job in Antarctica (my nephew took a 2.5yr one!!) would you be less let down?
That and the community is usually pretty solid. It is exceedingly rare for me to end up diving with someone who is a douchebag or not a team player. Everyone just wants to help everyone else and spread managed democracy. I tend to get on the mic and roleplay it up to help out for extra energy lol I’m the dude pulling Starship Trooper quotes out of his ass
Just play unranked with comms off when you just wanna chill??
The issue comes from the fact that any games with a ranked mode also have a perpetually fucked casual mode. They stopped doing anything with ‘skill based matchmaking’ and just lump you in with whoever is available. So you’ve got ranked players who are toxic as hell who go into casual to test things or just be dicks in the exact same lobby as people who are just wanting to vibe and play the game after a long day of work.
I’ve completely given up on any games that have any ranked modes in them at all because this shit always fucking happens. Casual gaming is being consistently abandoned by game developers for competetive modes. Locking out anyone who just wants to relax and play a game. Like I used this example elsewhere, but I have others. This just comes to mind to me because it bugs me. Yugioh Master Duel. You will NEVER find a casual game there. Everything is meta’d to hell. Why? Because ranked players use casual to test their stuff. Casual players then have to start acting like ranked players in order to even play. So if someone comes in and wants to play a casual game, you are going to get instantly cheesed by broken ranked decks.
It just happens constantly across everything. Ranked mode is introduced and it pushes all the casual players out and leaves hostile competetive bullshit.
