those few points describe the current state of Paladins pretty well.
1. Awful balancing (buffs to already strong champions and nerfs to weak/average champs)
2. Devs that don't seem to understand what the community wants
3. many bugs
4. Devs trying intentionally to make player quit from the game
5. Ranked Matchmaking where your rank says nothing besides being deco (yes if you're a gold with higher Elo then a master, you gonna be higher then a master in the pick position)
6. Since years hacker/cheater can kick you/ crash your game and force you to stay out, without the devs ever fixing it
7. Matchmaking is based on an Average Elo instead of a straight line of Elo, so if you play with 2 high elo player it could be that you get 3 lvl 10 player into your team while your enemy team has 5 lvl 700 average player that make you have both the same "average" elo.
