Having played this game for years, I see immense potential in it, but the current situation is incredibly frustrating for dedicated players. Cheating is rampant, with players using clear aimbots, wallhacks, or account boosting remaining active for weeks without bans. This severely undermines the integrity of the ranking system and makes competitive play feel pointless. Server quality is another pressing issue; outside a few key regions, players deal with unreliable routing, high packet loss, and poor hit registration. This creates significant disadvantages based on geographical location, leading to an inconsistent and unfair experience. It's disheartening that such an iconic esports title seems to neglect its core competitive essence. While updates for the skin economy and monetization are frequent, problems related to cheating, server quality, and matchmaking persist unresolved. Players are looking for a fair, skill-based, and technically reliable game. Without meaningful improvements in anti-cheat, server infrastructure, and matchmaking integrity, this game risks losing the loyal player base that built its legacy.
