Im a newer player but i finally dipped my toes into premier for the first time and i gotta say the experience is much better and the games are closer. Everyone seems to be around the same skill level as me which is refreshing. Dont seem to be any cheaters either in any of the games i played so far.
I was playing competitive mode before and the matches and were almost always one sided where 1 or 2 guys would completely dominate the entire game and much better than me.
Only thing i dont like is that vertigo and cache is not in the map pool for premier because those are my fav maps.
