As a long-time player, I recognize the potential in this game, but it’s currently in a disappointing state for dedicated fans. Cheating is widespread, with players using obvious hacks remaining active for weeks without consequences. This damages the ranking system's integrity and makes competitive play feel futile. Server quality is another significant issue; outside a few regions, players face unstable connections and poor performance, leading to an inconsistent experience. It’s saddening that such a storied title neglects its competitive roots. While the skin economy and monetization see regular updates, issues with cheating, server quality, and matchmaking remain unresolved. Players desire a fair and skill-driven game. Without meaningful improvements in these areas, the game risks losing its dedicated player base.
