Wildcard isn't replacing ranked or even pubs, it's just an added game mode. So I don't get why there's hate directed at it. It's been perceived as positive overwhelmingly.
And ranked was just a kill race before but now you can play zone and do very well, it's far more akin to algs, which is the goal for a competitive mode. I've been a day 1 player and I am welcoming all these changes with open arms.
Sure there could be a better mixtape playlist, but I'm happy with wildcard because I know there will be changes to it and they'll keep it interesting.

Why not just enjoy the changes now and play the game mode that is similar to your goals?

I do play the modes that suit me best, but that doesn't mean I'm completely unwilling to look at anything new they put out there. I look at it and I don't like what I see. I think it's great if other people are getting something out of it, but that doesn't make it immune to criticism.

"And ranked was just a kill race before but now you can play zone and do very well..." How quickly people forget the camping fiasco of season 14 ranked when the only thing that carried any weight at all was placement. It's just the pendulum swing back again. Which I'm all for if other people are enjoying it, but if the outcry of season 14 was anything to go by then they're probably not. And I also reserve the right to crap all over pre-set drops. I'm not saying they have no purpose. I'm saying they were implemented to stop idiots from idioting. For the rest of us they're a poke in the eye.

And that's the entire direction of the game in a nutshell: dumb it down for lazy, stupid, short attention span players. And basically robbing it of its battle royale identity in the process. That identity isn't gone completely but the writing is on the wall for anyone to see. Come back in five seasons and the game may well be unrecognizable.
