Trying to play this game as a new casual player feels nearly impossible.

It feels nearly impossible to actually have fun playing this game when it’s match making feels like it’s set up to just make you loose. Maybe there genuinely is no lower level newer players but my experience so far has been team mates who clearly don’t want to win, hot drop push die leave match, and get totally melted at level 23 by someone who is level 400 something where I clearly didn’t stand a chance.

The advice I always see is oh just get good or oh this or oh that.. like what about the people who don’t have the time to “get gud”, the casual people who just think the game is cool, I see a lot of talk about the games player base just steadily declining and like.. when this is the new player experience how do you expect it to ever grow back again?

I’m sure I’m going to get a lot of hate but this is the most demotivated I have ever been trying to learn a new game. I’ve played through some pretty punishing for new player games including valorant counter strike pub g and such and every single one of them felt like a oh I can see where I’m going wrong, this is the only one where it genuinely feels like oh so I’m just playing people so much better than me I’m just serving as fodder to feed their egos and keep them playing and spending.
