You know, PvE is really underrated. I find playing against bots to be more fun, easier to gauge skill progress, and a better time with friends than playing against overmatched humans, whether cheating or not.

Losing 50% of your matches isn't fun. The alternative of losing 90% for months before winning 90% isn't inviting either.

I agree. I don't really play multiplayer online games at all anymore, but when I do they are explicitly not competitive. As the world switched from community servers to matchmaking I felt that it only made everything even more toxic than it already was, and I was not liking the person it was turning me into.

I will only play competitive now if it is couch, or lan party, or otherwise with people I know.
