I'm going to ignore most things because I am out of touch by about 4 years, but I do have some good playtime from its peak.
How, HOW in the hell is ranked duels STILL IN BETA. Mother of god, how is a single specific game mode in beta for more than 6 years?

Just, just tell us you don't don't care. Really, just make a post saying "Hey, this whole game was a cash grab from the rip, we really don't give a ♥♥♥♥, throw money at something else we make." It would feel more honest.

Jesus. This is pathetic. I genuinely wish this game was made by any other developer. I bet EPIC could do better.

Have to edit this now.

This used to be a positive review, but now Arrowhead has decided to take the development of this game down every wrong path they seem to have access to.

There exist many game-breaking and quality of life hampering bugs, these existed for months now. The devs stubbornly refuse to go after these, opting instead to focus more heavily on releasing warbond after warbond, and keeping a hyper vigilant eye on what weapons and stratagems the community is using and enjoying. The weapons being used the most are constantly being nerfed to the point of near uselessness. The new warbonds when releases *sometimes* have good stuff in them when first released, but then good or bad also get nerfed into the dirt within two weeks.

This game was fun, it was really great. Now? It is such a chore to try and find something that is enjoyable to use that is also viable, hoping that the game doesn't just break from yet another issue they haven't fixed that has existed since the game released. I'd call it lazy development, but they have to put in an extreme amount of effort to make something this unenjoyable. They see their discord, they see what people say online, and yet they still choose to be contrarian to what people enjoy!

It's not hard to figure out why they have one-tenth the players they had 6 months ago. They found every bit of fun their game had, and tactically removed it in the name of "balance", not knowing how balancing is actually meant to be done.

Would not recommend, give it half a year and see if they survive or pick up a new creative officer.

It is a decent game, but there are some bad inconsistancies with the story line. Kinda fun before you get too far in, but I would say just get enemy unkown. its a much better game.
