I can finally safely say that this game is in a better state with a lot more bug fixes, good holiday content this year and bots being essentially EXTINCT. I've been playing this game for years and for it to hit a low point without any support for so long was kind of heart wrenching. I'm so glad this community is loud enough to keep its game living for so long and i will keep playing until I cant.
I still think its a little harder for newer players to get into the game casually with the casual matchmaking system and the culture of the game changing over the years in terms of gameplay, but i do think with the absence of bots, the ease of access to casual games has returned to a good degree and i urge anyone interested in this to take advantage of this time of freedom while it still last.
