People take themselves too seriously.
Not counting the crashing which is a genuine issue people are experiencing - see title above. People in this community, especially on the steam forums, are taking themselves way too seriously. People are kicking each other for playing wrong or using the wrong weapons. People don't have the mental space to see where and when tools may or may not be applicable. People come straight to the forums and start throwing a fit the moment they're unsure how to approach an issue. What happened to curiosity, problem solving, and asking questions? Why is it "Chargers are OP." And not "How do I deal with chargers more easily?". Why is it "Bots are too hard." And not "How can I adjust my play-style to make them hilariously simple?". If you get killed by a teammate isn't that just bloody hilarious? When you get little timmies joining your game and they're still learning how to be, isn't that just wholesome? And quite frankly, even as an Ally I don't think adding LGBTQ+ cosmetics will really solve that much dysphoria and the people hating on those asking for it are not any better off. I think some of the people here could use a lesson in humility.

Because players are delusional as ♥♥♥♥ nowadays.

Blame anything but themselves.

Takes it more serious than their college exams.

A mix of skill-issue-itus and lack-of-grass-touching.

In regards to Chargers it was because they were both absurdly durable (compared to the weapon options not counting the comically overpowered Railgun) and spawned WAY too frequently for how durable they were that people were complaining.

They pushed the balance far too heavily towards "Anti-Armor or GTFO" because of that, and that caused a lot of people to question "Is this intended?" which is indeed asking questions and problem solving going by the developer's response.

Getting killed by a teammate once? Possibly hilarious. Getting killed by said teammate 4+ times because they clearly don't care to even remotely try to avoid? Significantly less fun.

Those two things are just the issues I'd like to point out that aren't errant complaining but realistic problems, one of which even the Devs seemed to agree with.

In the very early days of the game, for those of us who could even join the servers at the time, chargers were only a problem if you weren't sure how to kite or handle them. They were durable, correct. But not to the point where it made the game unplayable or anything, certainly not to the point that people are claiming it's singlehandedly ruining the game.

The bot balance has always been towards anti-armor just like how bug balance has always been towards incendiary. It's a matter of thinking ahead and bringing kits that are designed around the situations you expect to encounter and honestly it's not even so limited that you were ever forced into one specific style of play. Sure the Diligence series is extremely good against bots but that shouldn't stop anyone from using a Liberator - In fact I really like using the standard pistol against them because I feel I have more control than the Revolver which itself one-shots all the little guys and can (situationally) 2 shot mediums.

It sure is frustrating to be killed by teammates a lot but if there's anything to take away from that it's that we can always wish for others to reflect on themselves but in the end we can only work on ourselves. It's up to me to decide how I feel about the situations I run into and quite frankly I've dealt with too much in life to let someone who came home from work and doesn't want to have to think too hard about what they're doing ruin my day. I'd rather they have as good of a time as they can and I'll figure out how to play around it on my end or if I should do something else if I can't figure out my frustrations. It's a matter of perspective and you're certainly allowed to be frustrated and to feel how you feel. People just take it a bit personally and often times to the extremes.
