Another faithful player leaves.

1 K/D, 3% winrate and still playing with #1 pred Bzbblegum in pubs. Anything else you want to add? :) This is the end xD

Hey, don't have a pile on without me.

Sure, I get that the matchmaking is horrific. I know it. I experience it every day like everyone else. I know why it is the way it is, and yes, a lot of it is on the developer. Most of it. I guess it's because I've hardly ever played a game that was any better that I'm easier on the dev than I should be.

The things that really stick in my craw, though, are the design decisions. More motion, more speed. As if the only people left playing this game are twelve year children on PC high on caffeine and who knows what else. And they just need everything to be faster. And why wouldn't they? If you have an aimbot then it really doesn't matter how fast other players get. You can still hit them. And if the dev gives you even more speed than you already had then the odds of being hit by an opponent who isn't cheating... drops to almost nothing.

Then let's add in pick ups for wall running and speed boost. In an LTM now, sure, but just you wait. Just you wait.

Unlimited respawns. So "good" players don't get tossed from the game because some hack got lucky, and the lucky guy can also just keep spawning back into the game - because the "good" players need to be allowed to kill the same hack three or four or five times in one match. And the hack who is fool enough to tolerate that? Hey, if he doesn't have the gumption to quit the match then he deserves whatever he gets. I guess. I know, I know: LTM only. Like we haven't been set up for this long enough now to know that it's about to get implemented across the board. Pretty sure I'm the last player left in the entire game who doesn't want this.

Bracketed ranked matches. Please, Respawn, please. I need my risk spoon fed to me in manageable doses so I don't barf it all up on my Mom's shoulder while she's trying to burp me.

I could go on all night.

One thing puzzles me though. We do you even bother to look at your k/d or win rate anymore? If you're not actively cheating, like seemingly everyone else, then I don't really think you need to beat yourself up over stats anymore.

Do you know how I feel as a Caustic main playing against the current movement that's been introduced?

It's like playing against people who use all sorts of cheats.

I feel like a beaten dog in every match. I can't catch up to anyone, I can't escape anyone.

This season has ruined my main even more than the Ash rework.

For two days now, I've been in "Joker" mode with the same 100 people every day, every hour. Everyone's 4k 20b,  masters/preds. I haven't had a single enjoyable match despite such a low K/D and winrate.

The end of what exactly? You seem out of sorts.. Actually yes, while your nose is full of literal poop right now, tell us, what cheats are they using? The lot of 'em, yourself obviously included, brag like it's something to brag about. Look, I bought these scripts, now I'm pred. That's what the 20% that are not cheating think, every time. So I could give less about your pred friend tbh.

Oh, I know. I almost feel disingenuous saying that because I main Valk. And yes, she's amazing this season. But it isn't any of it anything I asked for. Or expected. Or wanted. All I ever wanted was for them to tone down Ash and Sparrow. And I'm here to tell you, even after the Ash nerf, even after the Valk buff, I dread seeing either one of them in the field.

But this is the future of this game. Change your main or... I don't even know. I've thought about moving on to some other game, but honestly... I'm just too old to go through the new game learning curve again. I tried redsec and after the first drop into the first match I said, "Oh hell no." And I quit and uninstalled. Life is too short for me to spend another year learning a game just to find out it was already too late to get ahead of the cheat curve or the Smurf curve after about the first six weeks. Just no.

Sorry for the grim picture. I should attach a picture of puppies just to bring the mood up.

I'm not the only one in this situation, because there are many like me. It's hard for me to abandon a legend I've been learning to play for several years.

What good is it if I switch to Horizon or Valk now, when you and I know perfectly well that they'll be nerfed next season?

Does no one really see that this is all about selling skins and other items for these characters, because by giving them a huge advantage, they know full well there will be so-called "hype"?

Respawn deliberately buffs several characters massively every season just to make money, not for the good of the game as a whole. It's sad.

I don't think I'll ever see the day when we have balance between legends in this game.

Well, I guess I'll have to keep dying from the incredible movement (not to mention the terribly bad cheating situation) OR completely change the game, because switching from legend to legend every season isn't for me.
