Don't Ruin The Game

I'm someone who rarely loss in the elite division. I make it to 900 SR with only 1-2 losses. The best gameplay I experienced this year was in the first two weeks after launch and during TOTY. Now there is all this talk about nerfing playstyles and whatnot. I always say this; every year, the content creators (like Inception, Nickrtfm, AA9skillz, etc.), the community at large, and EA (both the devs and the whole company) come together to screw over the gameplay, and it's happening again as always. The youtubers screw us over first of all by pretending to be these bastions of gaming knowledge (while never having programmed crap before) all hidden behind a veil of false humility, and most of the time they don't make any real points, everything they say is filled with filler words like "like" and "you know what I mean" and they don't actually mean what they say and contradict themselves often. The funniest thing these guys do is they adopt a holier-than-thou attitude towards mechanic abusers while not being able to survive in elite without abusing mechanics themselves.

Then, they have a braindead perpetually div 5-6 crowd of millions who buy into their contradictory bs because the community knows even less and most haven't even heard of half of the mechanics the game offers. EA devs and the company itself are just trying to turn a buck and will lie to you straight to your face in a black and white, unequivocal fashion, evidenced by their theatrically bs trailer dropped sometime around August - remember; "manual interceptions are more rewarding"? What a load of crap.

My point is, DON'T RUIN THE GAME by nerfing passing playstyles specifically (why only them btw???), just to pander to these idiots whose fault it is that we lost the good gameplay in September anyway, when all the timmies complained about not being able to defend. If you want gameplay to be better, rent out the highest quality servers from Amazon instead of the cheapest ones or invest in building your own (because most gameplay issues come from server side desync, especially during pack opening hours) and remove roles only. Also make the weekly rewards for champs and rivals much more consequential, while also fixing the constant menu issues (I mean if you can't code menus correctly, you EA devs are just thieves) and remove the scripting algorithm which is verboten to discuss on this forum that is obviously in the game that EA has hundreds of patents over. In fact, nerf these stupid whorish store packs and reward good players for their time instead of trust fund babies with unlimited credit cards. Nerfing playstyles is another obstacle in the way of good players and another issue youtubers can drone on and on about, not a meaningful fix to anything. Sooner or later everyone will stop playing your game. I switched to being an RTG just out of spite for EA a while ago.
