Let's be Serious: Counter Strike is BAD

After pouring a decent (though small to some) amount of time into Counter Strike: Global Offensive, I decided to give my personal thoughts on the game. Sadly my thoughts are this: Counter Strike is one of the worst and laziest FPS I have ever played. Before I dive into the bad I will note the one redeeming value of the game, and that is that teamwork is required to win each match, which is great. However, this hardly begins to counter balance all the other glaring problems the game has. For starters ( Ill start off with the biggest one first) hit detection is by far the worst I have ever seen in any game aside from perhaps COD Ghosts. Honestly, half the time someone dies it's because of some freak accident. Personally I believe I have killed more people from generally blasting away radomly than by actually aiming at them. I'm sorry to tell you this, but that's not skill. If I can crouch there and aim my gun at them, fire, have all but 2 shots miss while the enemy is running around then somehow sprays a random bullet in for a headshot, that is not skill, it is luck, and I see far too much of that in this game. Another issue is weapon balance, and by that I mean the AWP. This gun, along with the other snipers, are teh only guns that actually shoot where you aim them, which puts all the non snipers at a huge disavantage cause the AWP only needs one shot to kill someone. I'm sure you all have heard that complaint before so I'll spare you the words, basically it's overpowered and teh devs wont fix it worth crap. Another issue I have with the game is the laziness of it. So far there have been like 3 major Counter Strike releases, all of them basically the same since the beginning, even to the point of having teh exact same maps just "redone". This is where i get dumbfounded when the community bashes other games for "being the same thing over and over" when Counter Stike does the same thing, perhaps even to a larger degree, because the games are so similar. (same weapons, same grenades, etc) Overall I feel like the game is just lazy and bad, and there's still things I havent covered like hackers (remember the pro player? like you gotta hack to actually be good at the game), and the fact that people really only play 3 maps. The list goes on. Which brings up the question, why do people play this game and support it so strongly ( cough*suckitsdick*cough), when, at least im my humble opinion, it is so poorly made? (honestly, i would like to hear your opionions)

TL;DR: Counter Strike has so many issues, why do people think it's good?

Counter Strike has been played for around 15 years now....so no, it isn't bad.
