@AnakinVader34 I think the reason for the hate isn’t as much of the toxic players but the reason why the toxic players can exist in the first place.
The Devs BROKE most (not all) of the blaster users in BF 2 with bad logic and bad mechanics. It wasn’t always this way; early on in the game most blaster users were underwhelming but rather than create balance they went full tilt the other direction and over powered them.
Blaster mains were never this predominant and many of them are newer to the game; exploiting the bag logic and bad mechanics. Many of these “toxic” players read or watch tutorials on how to do this and think it’s how the game “should” be.
I don’t main blaster users for the most part and love that they’re in the game but they’re absolutely broken. The DPS, the evade immunity duration, dodge recharge rate, amount of crowd control, etc ... all of those aspects are FAR out of balance for characters like Chewie, Hann, & Iden ... meanwhile users like Finn have zero crowd control and Phasma has no evade immunity to strikes. Leia receives health on elimination yet Bosk doesn’t; Bosk can recoup health with Dioxis but so can Leia with her shield?!? It’s all haphazard and imbalanced; it feel clumsy because it is clumsy.
The toxic hate is rooted in bad game design that gets perpetuated with guides & how to’s. Players think they’re playing as designed when, in truth, they’re leaning on bad logic and don’t even realize it.
