I am tired of seeing the "this game is too sweaty" posts / "the new player experience is ruined by sweats"

Discussion

I was curious about this same topic, so a few weeks ago I made a smurf account purely for testing purposes (I am diamond 2 for reference) so i could see the difficulty new players face (I have already deleted the smurf). And I mean NEW NEW players, not someone who has completed a battlepass, gotten higher than gold in WT, or has 50-100 hours, like fresh account new players. The people i played against for the first 10 games were borderline AI, I could do simple A/D strafes and they couldn't hit a bullet, there were times i just did not shoot back and did simple slides and mixed strafing just to see how long it took for them to kill me.

The new player experience is fine, at the end of the day people shouldn't be demanding casual gameplay from a genera that is objectively and inherently competitive. It's a PvP FPS game, the whole point is to be better than the other team, and most people don't like losing, so they push themselves to be better, the cope term would be "sweaty". I know this seems like a "git gud" post, and it kinda is, but if you have this mindset, you're demanding players stop playing the game as indented because YOU can't keep up. Idk man maybe something y'all should consider is PvP FPS isn't your thing, maybe play borderlands or Destiny if you want to relax in a FPS game.
