I'm sure this gets posted a lot but I had my experience with SMGs past few games and I had to write something.
When I started playing this game back in 2017 I knew nothing.
It took me a lot of time to get some experience and learn some things about it and how to play it "properly".
That's what made me love it, learning curve and learning time.
Like, I used to revive my teammate without smoke grenade until I realized that's what I need to have with me always.
We used to run across the map because we didn't want to drive a car, someone can hear us.
It took us a month to get our first chicken dinner. I remember we used to share that crap on Instagram stories how proud we were.
Fast forward to present and this nonsense that devs, who I may say are out of touch with their playerbase, made with the game.
It's so noob friendly. I undestand you want to get new players to the game, but this is not Call of Duty or Battlefield.
This is PUBG, and what made it standout is how hard the game is, people loved it.
You have to earn your victory, your kills. You have to learn how to do it.
Few nights back I got killed by a guy with UMP, and I continued to spectate him and his teammate who had MP5K.
They were invicible, they never ran from any fights, instead they were joining it so fearlessly because they knew they can't be touched.
Today I was checking my PUBG report and that guy who killed me was a streamer, and he was cursing the SMGs, Krafton and the devs because what they did to the game and it's weapon "balancing", so he picked UMP just to show people how gamechanging it is.
I did it also, today and I got into 3 fights which if I used AR should have lost, but I had UMP and I killed 3 guys with no sweat at all. It's ridicoulus, bad and I thank God I started to play ABI so I don't have to suffer this nonsense all the time.
And people were complaining all the time, and the devs? Devs intruduced an update where you can pick up deathbox from a player. Wow.
