Community ManagerCommunity Manager@EA_MakoDepends on the definition of "rigging" games.
Respawns version of SBMM could be seen as rigging the playfield, the Blogpost doenst really reflect what quite some players experience and there are so many variables unknown to the player, which could be used to control a certain outcome.
Also the fact that Respawn knowingly favored Controller Players over MnK players for 5 years while still promoting the term "competitive integrity", only to act bcs they got "strongarmed" by some external statistic to prevent a bigger s***storm.
I dont wanna even mention the weird gunplay issues ... never got addressed by Respawn, despite a lot of people reporting on it lately.
The sudden drop of KD and win-rate the last 2 seasons, cutting those values into half for quite some Players.
Those things cannot be brushed off as problems on the clientside or skill issues, when other Games just work fine.
The Intransparency and lack of communication drive Players to look for suitable Explanations, that's just how the internet works.
All those things might lead Players to the "elephant in the room" that shall not be named.
Watching the ALGS, Akimbo Mozies has more kills than the next two on list put together. Mastiff in top 5 as well.
A lot of bitching about it on Reddit too. IMO its a welcome change to level out the playing field between MnK & Roller.
Previous burst & SMG meta was too tilted in favor of the roller.
That being said R99 is the worst care pack weapon we have had. I suggest dmg increase and more bullets to make it work.
Also to make snipers more of a meta (against 30-30 & scout for example), any change to put something like a buckshot hop-up to Longbow non ADS to make work in the close range as well.
