Here we are. I'm done. 300 hours in, on both PC and mobile. I reached Legendary rank several times. My account is level 50. All my guns are level 70+. Then I've hit the wall.
The core gunplay is outstanding. Responsive and satisfying. It's the best. But sadly, when you play for long enough, everything else is a dumpster fire.
The matchmaking is awful. You get matched against 12-year-olds with 2,000 hours who play like it's their job. Or you're stomping absolute beginners. The BR ladder means nothing because skill distribution is nonexistent. It's mostly a indicator of how sweaty you are. And things get really fucking sweaty, really fast.
Cheaters. There are tons of them. If you follow the devs on social media, you'll notice they usually announce how many accounts they're banning every month. It's in the tens of thousands. Let that sink in. Tens of thousands of hackers you're forced to play against.
Small map pool. 3 BR maps, 1 being rather small, the others rather empty. 6 pretty average Hot Zone maps. You rotate through these same maps very fast.
An exhausting loop. Get wrecked by sweats, respawn, get wrecked again… Watch killcams of people who clearly have no life, rinse and repeat. There's no learning curve. Just sweats.
I get why people grind it though. The gunplay is great, the guns are cool and the game feels rather good at first. But it's not enough when every match is against people who treat ranked like a second job
Life's too short for this frustration loop. The fun just isn't there anymore. Moving on.
