The new season feels "fun" again (to me at least). Last season was the worst it's ever been in terms of BR. The TDM/mixtape stuff was all I played.

This season BR and ranked is fun again. The tweaking they did has me enjoying it much more. The ranked is better because you can overcome bad teammates a little easier because it's not a rat-fest where kills don't matter (a la last season). I basically only solo q because my friends gave up on it a couple seasons back.

Don't get me wrong. It can still be infuriating and you still get absolute dog shit teammates or occasionally rolled by a 3-stack, but it seems less frequent.

And mm in tdm is pretty good most of the week. I end up with really close games alot(eg 50-48 ). The weekends seem to mess it up though and its more common to get the 50-20 style shellacking where it's super lopsided.

And controller aim assist and cross play is still super noticeable. when you get shot from someone on a console if feels like old school lag.
