Making this game mostly competitive is a mistake

My second post on the game, do keep in mind my goal is to provide criticism.

I don't know why this is a "competitive" game first and foremost. The genre is already way too crowded, with too many games requiring you to sweat in any match. Secondly, the cards kinda defeat the entire point of it being a "competitive" game in the first place. Cards are random, and can give one side a massive advantage over another. Had one match where the other team had two methods of revealing our locations for free thanks to the cards. We didn't have anything near as good and stood no chance.

With games like Call of Duty turning into slop and XDefiant being killed by Ubisoft's stupidity, the potential is here for something that can appeal to both sides, but right now the focus is too heavily skewed in the sweaty direction. The arcade is a starting point, but all of these live service games only feel like a starting point and never anything with substance.

Omfg... this old rubbish again. If you don't want to sweat, then don't sweat and just play the game maybe? You choose to do it, it's not the devs forcing you to tryhard in a game lmao.

Is it a Player vs Player game? Yes.

Are humans competitive by nature? Yes.

Is it possible to make a Player vs Player game NOT competitive? No.

It's completely impossible to make a PvP environment that ISN'T competitive. Any argument, criticism, crying, etc. about such is pointless.

This is objectively false.

Halo 1-3 were developed with the sole purpose of bringing people together in a social sandbox. 2 and 3 especially were predominantly online PvP games.

There are many others that did this as well.

In ranked mode, they should have tried to have a semi-competitive mode more focused on fun and zero monotony. Since trying to keep it as competitive as possible within the game, it would simply be an attempt at "valorant" with another gunplay, and if I wanted to play valorant, then I would play valorant xD

Just play TDM? I can't see how that's competitive at all so have fun.
