making the same mistakes since March:
>unrealistic monetization expectations(picrel)
>unrealistic player population management expectations(see MM, bot complaints, and the retarded TDM testing)
>stopped doing balance triage/emergency patches and let obvious issues fester for months
>letting the wannabe ecelebs in discord try to filter and gatekeep all feedback and general discussion
>marketing plan still feels nonexistent
Season 2 needed more to pull people back in and bring in new people. That 25% discount for Summer Sale isn't nearly enough to convince people that didn't want to buy in at $13. A single male character, that looks visually plain compared to the rest of the cast, is underwhelming as a face for the season. Only one new map being ready and the custom rulesets being delayed aren't doing them any favors either. Another monetization push is in the pipe and will probably be another flop like the Kite Festival mess. At least the new guns could be fun.
The pending balance pass is a mixed bag too. Touched a few things that needed it, left some untouched, and made some worse. Wolf buffs... b/c? The few soft counters to tiger's ult being nerfed is hilarious and will be a problem(unless the croc is OP and shuts him down). Floor is always lava cancer (mostly)untouched.

TLDR: at least one too many retards in management to stop the bleeding.
