And even getting ranked unlocked takes I think 100 games of quick cash or something.
I don't even bother with it cause there's no point in me getting angry when I can just have fun.
I think we all knew this one guy that tries too hard.
Also a point could be made that little of what you do in the game matters for the longest of time. It seems as if it all boils down to how people can do last-minute clutch efforts in stealing a cashout. You can do well for 99% of the match, totally dominate everyone, but then you happen to be spawned in poorly and get stuck between the two other teams or whatever and kiss your cashout goodbye. Might as well be skipping the whole vault unlocking part and have everyone rush directly for the same cashout station.
Or you get a poor team of let's say two light snipers. Might as well not try to capture any cashout then at all. Even worse if one or even two of those disconnect from the match. Playing with randoms in such games can always end up poorly, but I think with the small teams that The Finals has it can be particularily bad if some of your teammates end up making poor choices from start or abandon you generally.
The maps might be imbalanced too. I have the impression that there is always one team spawning closer to the vault than any other. If those are light players and they are quick enough in grabbing it and rushing away, then that might already be an instant loss for you. Especially if the cashout station is one of those floating or suspended platforms that can be hard to reach. Imho those should be deleted, particularily the moving ones. They just don't work well, once one team sets up on top of those and isn't acting totally stupid you seem to have a guaranteed loss at hand.
So yes, the destruction thing is cool. But that can't save it all forever. Otherwise the game feels fairly mid and not necessarily well balanced. For something that I saw some content creators hype up as the next new big thing (same as with Battlebit) there sure are some cracks showing quickly if you just look closely enough. No one said it was perfect. What game is? But for me it's not a 10/10, 9/10 or maybe even 8/10 either if you ask me. I can have fun with it (same as with Battlebit). But I can see why some people are confused about the apparent hype that it got.
Once you discard the shiny newness of it, you realize that the destruction mechanics are nothing new and at the core of it's gameplay is a never ending loop of 3rd partying. It's definitely still fun but it's not groundbreaking imo.
