    TL;DR: it felt like there was no ‘casual’ mode

    I would run into an issue where I would use 1 meta load out and would hold around a 1.0 k/d, but if I ever wanted to experiment and try some other guns or unlock some new attachments I would get absolutely shredded. I would do this for a few matches, unlock whatever I was trying to unlock, and then switch back to my most efficient load out and absolutely shred the lobby I was playing in for a few games until I averaged back to a 1.0 k/d.

    I felt like the only multiplayer option was ‘competitive’ and I couldn’t really experiment with things without getting my shit pushed in.

    For an IRL comparison: I play pickleball from time to time and if I casually play someone at or slightly below my skill level I can experiment a little (try landing shots in different places, work on forehand vs. backhand, etc.), but if I play in a competitive tournament and go up against a pro they will absolutely kick my ass in record time (and that’s okay lol).

      There are pickleball “pros”? Lol. Maybe that’s why it’s cheap to get tennis lessons now.
