Just thinking about 2016-2017 and there were some small sized maps like House, Plane etc. They already gone or reworked and can’t see them on Ranked. The game’s become a Call of Duty clone with some fancy gadgets. Just think about these points:
-
Everyone running around in the buildings because they are just too large. Camping outside the main rooms is a huge advantage for defenders. In the first years, you couldn’t leave what you defend because reaching the target was much easier in a small map for attackers
-
Drones have become useless after the preparation stage because you can’t know where the defenders are hiding. Definitely not in the main room, that’s for sure! And you can get shot in a second when you stop moving around and watching your drone cam. If you stay outside of the building while using your drone, the time wouldn’t be enough to reach the main room in time.
-
In small sized maps, each room had a window or a door through outside. That means attackers can get inside in a second.
Please just tell me, am i complaining for nothing or the game’s really become something worse?
Idk man, the game has changed and those maps don’t work with the operators we have now. I don’t think that’s why the game isn’t as fun as it used to be. The game is worse because Ranked 2.0 completely ruined the consistency of skill faced at any given ELO and because cheaters are worse than they have ever been. On PC and on console. XIM is out of control and walling on PC has become so commonplace that I have genuinely lost interest in the game for the first time in years.
Crazy to think that the game is more popular than it has been in a long time, but it’s also in one of the worst states ever in Ranked.
