So you guys want to make this game more competitive? okay.
TLDR: Remove useless weapons. Limit the amount of healing supplies players can carry.
The current major problems holding this game back from being competitive are the huge balance problems when it comes to random loot. But as this is a battle royale that's kind of the point... Scavenging for loot and all that. But let me get straight to the point here; at higher levels of ranker play you start to notice more squads being alive towards the end of the games. The reason for this is extremely obvious. It's impossible to push the lucky players, meaning that the players with more healing supplies and decent long ranged weapons will require way to much effort and resources, also the potential risk of losing to make a push. To fix this problem I suggest the removal of all nonviable weapons, and a separate healing item slot in the backpack in order to reduce the amount of healing supplies any player can carry at all times.
This has probably been said many times before, I'm just pointing it out again.
