@Zulkiers

You said so much that I agree with, but this:

"The modern royale dumbed down maps and hasty timers could use a rework, or unrework in some cases. Leave advanced structures. Let there be a long timer. If they want a fast match, they'll make it a fast match for themselves. You don't need to push them."

...is the truest of them all. This game has degenerated, imo, as it has sought to pander to the short-of-attention-span. The game is worse for it.

@reconzero Hence I can't get enough of the Launch Royale. Though it's missing most legends, it's much more fun than modern. BECAUSE of the long timers and the highly detailed multi level buildings and underground areas.
I love exploring the place. I feel like I can actually breathe during the match.

The slower timer is infinitely better. I like the map a lot, though I have to say that KC peaked in season 13, as it was just before the "new skulltown" update. Did I say "update?" I meant "downdate."

In the end, though, I'm discovering that the map doesn't matter and even the game mode doesn't matter when your squadmates are hot drop Harrys and the matchmaking thinks, "Hey, bronze randoms and high diamond three stacks in the same game? Let's try it and see how it goes." No thanks. The one thing Respawn couldn't replicate in OG mode was the original game's lack of cheaters and smurfs.

  Yeah
  It's down to 5 teams before the first ring closes.
  Down to just me versus one other team in second ring.
  I then just rat because I don't want to die to hackers so soon.
  So I take the time to explore the map and avoid the full trio as I'm solo.
  
  One of my biggest petpeeves.... I'm getting hit by all pellets of a shotgun when I'm beside their cursor not even in it but maybe by a pixel, yet my pellets don't hit them when they are dead center in my cursor.
  Similarly, they are ripping me to shreds when I'm on either side of their screen not even in their cursor, yet that's obviously a miss when I do it, and when they are in my cursor it's 35% hitrate at best, even point blank.

    Venting time....
    TDM Match
    Playing Bangalore
    People are shooting at me but my passive isn't procing.
    Half their bullets wiff, the other half hit. I saw a pathfinder shoot 9 bullets at me from a flatline, 3 hits dealt 90 damage. Another burst finished me off. How is Respawn not detecting these cheaters?
