POLL - Leeching is still leeching, even if you are not technically "AFK"

[DR.]

Me with 200-300 ping in all games

If I'm on top of the score board I'm either a god or the team is shit

Joking aside coming back to this game after not touching it for 5 years I've come to find really well equipped players don't have the average game sense that the older players had? I'll see a person bring in the best gear possible and it looks like they can't even kite well etc

Makes perfect sense with "gear inflation" but I think as this game has gotten easier and easier with better gear people don't need to try as much and improve at the core game


That's why it's probably more prevalent is my observation people have no incentive to even try when a half asleep rag runs will win anyway at this point

Hello DR,

     I am probably one of those you see who don't know how to kite/range well yet.  I have normally played infantry and recently got some lucky drops so I made a MP/Lego to learn how to kite... still a long way to go.

     I also agree with this statement..."That's why it's probably more prevalent is my observation people have no incentive to even try when a half asleep rag runs will win anyway at this point"

     I am hoping that the dev team can address this balance issue to still make the game challenging to the senior players, but not to the extent that new players are excluded. (thinks of games where players are excluded based on gear or achievements).

Thank you for your input,

Kiting is one skill set in this game of many you are a pretty good shielder as you are active and push out and go into go safe positions. Hence this is game sense a lot of people don't have in this cade no brain needed meta at this point 

Hottest take I could say is I have no idea why rg got 12 shielding because if I can shield rag with 8 with mutable shields it seems like RG even more so then before incentivizes doing the bare minimum 

Then again I could be out of touch I have the best gear to do so even then idk

More on topic tho don't forget we are in weird times were rag runs happen every day... For so long was basically hard in public runs and rag runs were basically reserved for events because you needed coordination or on rare occasions publicly 

I don't think it should be that extreme again but ye lots of room to make this game more engaging rather than people clocking in for loot like it's their job.. This is a game 1st and foremost if you aren't here for gameplay and only here for game results being loot I think that's pretty telling we have a problem
