What has happened to the players?
With the start of the new season, there seems to have been either a drop in IQ in the player pool or (as I have often suspected) bots have actually been brought into the game. I mean: How else can i...

I was complaining in chat (voice and text) to stop fighting on the roofs and take B instead. Noone cared...no reaction!
It went like this for around 10 minutes and noone ever even tried to take B...except me!
I´m at least 70 % sure that those "guys" were bots.

I don't play control and I can't see what it is these people are actually doing or not doing... but I can say this much. Once a game hits a certain age and players just start doing whatever they feel like doing, you'll see it first in objective game types. Why play the objective when you can just play for kills? Kills are easier when you're going after people who actually are playing the objective, and you get the extra added benefit of "losing" so that the matchmaker thinks you're not that good and need easier lobbies. It's as old as Halo CTF. Not sure that's what you're seeing, but I wouldn't be surprised.
