As a person who is still on their FGC journey, I get where the frustration comes from. There are players who simply are more invested in the game than you, and they're going to beat you. Quite badly. Your approach matters a lot in stuff like this. If you want to play competitively and win, unfortunately there is a large wall there. You just have to sit and grind. And I don't mean blindly, you need to do research, practice motions you do a lot in the game, it's a lot of work. But, if you don't want to do that, no one is making you. Find like minded players and play casual rounds, these people exist, I'm not gonna pretend like that's an easy solution though. Ultimately, the game isn't getting patched. It's going to be like this forever. Realistically, you have 3 choices, get better to keep up with the devoted players, accept you're going to lose a whole lot if you just match with randoms without practicing, or find a group of people that also want to play casually.

I would happily spend that money on a complete game rather than spend $500 and get part of a game.

Paid gambling as a core mechanic is an automatic pass from me. FOMO manipulation is just gravy on the shit sandwich. It could be the best game ever and I'd still never play it because of how manipulative and greedy the game is. The game with monetization closest to Genshin I've played was LoL and I dropped that ages ago. I've moved on to quality shorter experiences, haven't regretted it for a moment.

Got pretty lucky after 2!

I've been loving the changes, more combo routes, burst feels good and like a more interesting choice. Gold burst instant tension removal was a great choice. I don't like that gold burst are unpunishable now, but the tradeoff is you can turn off burst with Wild Assault, so I'm still satisfied. I wish Test got more buffs, but everyone wishes their main got more buffs XD.

My pick for what I like as the actual 001 is sheaf of papers, but The Factory is my favorite read. There are so many more proposals now! I'll have to read them later.

I have never even heard of anyone reviewing BF2 for the movies. Everything I saw and heard were for loot boxes, the levelling system, the guns, skins, or pride and accomplishment.

Are you under the impression that people pushing for EVs aren't also pushing for power plants to go green? I'm sorry this isn't a video game where we can just replace literally every source of coal power in the exact same motion.

You can spend burst to power up a super in Rev2.

I'm so excited. I've been loving Strive, more options on the characters will make things even more awesome.

Good ol' reversal. Always wins. Except every time it doesn't.
