Slowly becoming pay to win
Title says it all. Some of the new premade builds coming out are just too good. Jean Spectre Sniper anyone? What a joke. They are slowly making this a pay to win in WOC but are doing it very sneak...

The Jean Spectre is by far the best one. Some are garbage.
So you're saying it's totally cool for EA to introduce all these new builds and put a $30+ price tag on them? Some are OP. Some are trash. But the point remains.
It's disgusting. When you guys can't even get lobbies working properly. Why is it 2 years later I still hear random people from other lobbies? Why do 50% of the lobbies crash?
No let's not fix these glaring issues and instead make some super builds and charge the customer for them.
As I said. This is just the beginning. We'll revisit this a year from now when competitive clubs feel the need to splurge on these builds to remain competitive. It's already happening actually. I see more and more of my elite comrades throwing down $ for the Jean Spectre build in particular.
This team desperately needs new leadership and a new direction. But it won't happen, therefore this is the last one I purchase.

No. I never said this. I was saying that no matter the build, it can be defended. They are only as good as the person controlling them and the team defending them. I've said many times I'm not a fan of these builds. They don't bother me being in the game though since they've been very beatable.
Why do 50% of the lobbies crash?
I'm no stranger to the occasional lobby crash. 50% is pretty high though. But, my club also knows to get their loadout editing done before matchmaking starts so it's not so much an issue. Still though, I'd love to see the lobby crashes handled.

A skilled club doesn't need these builds to remain competitive.
In comparison to last years years game skill doesn’t matter in this game if a worse team is using an overpowered payed build that you can’t even build normally

Skill and team chemistry absolutely matters and can defeat clubs running with pre-made builds.
Absolutely they do. No argument there. Could you address the other points I made in my post?
If you take two teams of equal skill, one with better paid builds and one with lesser natural builds, the team with better builds will win more frequently. Sure, if you are so skilled that you can overcome lesser skilled players with better builds I can agree with your reasoning. But if you are an average player going against average players with better paid builds it would clearly be pay to win. Same for super skilled with better paid builds vs super skilled with lesser natural builds.
