I just don't like battle royale games, I tried to play them but I can't
>if you are not playing in a tournament it's a snorefest all the way till the endgame
>too much RNG
>I hate looting
>giant empty maps
>no proximity voicechat
>no /all chat
>no bantering with enemies
>barely any interaction with enemies besides doing the griddy after killing them (if they don't instantly go back to the lobby after dying) even then they can't say anything back
>lots of bots
>"you died to a oneshot sniper? lol, back to queue buddy"
>I land a sick headshot but it didn't kill since "your enemy had a tier 4 armor protection! how did he get that? RNG!"
>if the TTK is too low you can easily die to a bush DMR or the classic shotgun door camper and there isn't much you can do about it
>if TTK is too high you easily get third partied by 8 people on your ass as soon as you fire a gunshot

I still bought Hatsune Miku and I log in when cousins want to play but every time I play a BR I can't stop thinking "I wish I was playing something else right now", I prefer the map knowledge corner clearing wallbang lineup autism, if I die to a sniper I simply get to smoke that spot next round, I jigglepeek, flashbang or something, not "die and go back to the lobby", I like to develop strategies, "if they do this I'm gonna do this and then that and if it doesn't work I'll try to adapt next round"

I know it's about "you only have one chance" but I would rather play an extraction shooter where my dead actually means something, looting gives me a sense of progression since the game lets me keep my inventory and sometimes I can talk my way out a fight using proximity chat (having fun with Ark Raiders lately), If I want to walk around giant empty (and shitty) map I would rather play battlefield or any battlefield clone, I simply don't like the BR gameplay.
