In the ever-evolving battlefield of Warzone, tensions run high. A recent discussion brings to light some concerns about the current player base.
Summary
- Most regular players perceive a marked increase in competitiveness.
- Casual players are finding it increasingly challenging to keep up.
- Some attribute this obsession with performance to increasing streamer culture.
The Escalating Skill Gap
‘CobraMacBurkus’ pinpoints a possible cause: ‘casual player base is declining rapidly and only the lifers remain’. As a result, new or infrequent players often find themselves outmatched by die-hard veterans.source
The Influence of Streamers: A Blessing or a Curse?
‘cheese1975’ highlights something that’s been on everyone’s minds. ‘Everyone want to be a streamer every other tag is TTV in it.’ This desire to showcase ones skills, to perform, has shifted the gaming experience from ‘fun’ to ‘let’s dominate’, as players vie for views.source
Survival of the Sweatiest
We saw this term thrown around quite a bit. For the uninitiated, ‘sweaty’ refers to overzealous or ultra-competitive players who will stop at nothing to top the charts. ‘G_Hause’ sheds more light on this, ‘COD has twisted BR with multiplayer. They’ve done it gradually but the current state is that kill counts are more desirable than wins.’source
So there we have it. Has Warzone’s battlefield turned too hot and sweaty for the casual players? Or is this aggressive competitiveness what makes the game itself intriguing? Only time can tell which side the coin flips.
