Couple of the points are misdirected:
You're unable to use any FPS counters as it cause issues; but there is one built in. Left CTRL+R
Garden Ops is host based, so you are connecting to another player. If their connection isn't the greatest, you will feel it. Create a game yourself, so you're host and people connect to you.
You are able to invite and join friends, its through Origin. Although there is no in-game-party lobby aside from Garden Ops.

Oh, joy! EA forcing us to use yet another crappy feature of their crappy software to enjoy the game at all.
Disable Origin In-game can fix fps counter problem.
This games feels like a horrible port, i mean, the game is amazing but some of the core features of PC are missing, like keyboard chat... and I REALLY HATE that the mics are always open, i'm enjoying the game but we really need a patch that add keyboard chat and a party option... also... the PC has a LOT of power and we dont have Split Screen... this feels like a 360 port.
