>why are you complaining about the ranked playlist when you can just play WT or literally any other playlist
I do play the other modes I enjoy more. I only touch ranked when my ranked obsessed friends want to play together with me or I want to play with them.
I am complaining because it is taking away limited swede devtime from the parts of the game I actually enjoy and also because balancing for ranked and not World Tour is actively homogenizing the game into AR galore CoD with a few wacky gadgets added in instead of something truly unique in the FPS space, like it was a while ago. This is largely because the reserve is disabled in ranked, so everyone is encouraged to pick the most generally applicable options possible instead of specializing and being able to adapt your active loadout to the given situation.
Everything that does perform better than assault rifles in its specific niche is also gutted immidiately, except lights double barrel bullshit cannon and sniper rifle for some reason. My issue here with them isn't that they're powerful, it's the lack of consistency in balancing philosophy, either let the specialized weapons shine or get it over with and run the game into the ground like they seem to be intending to.
I'm fine with ARs being generalists, but melee and shotguns are supposed to be oppressive in close quarters and precision weapons are supposed to be very strong at range and reward precision.
Taking games a little more seriously to win is fine, hell, I even enjoy having to focus to get a win, but competitive/ranked in video games was a mistake and so was "skill based" match making.
