Pain Points
This is the worst pay-to-win game I’ve ever played in my life
If you don’t wanna sink hundreds into the game monthly to be competitive then it’s not the game for you
Terrible matchmaking... matched with players who have maxed out gear while you’re still maybe a four star level player
I’ll get paired up with AI bots that get 0 kills and 10+ deaths
Lagging server make input delay so high
It stuck in middle of the match frequently
