Why do the casual players get handicapped and punished in this game. It's obvious you buff the top players to make them better with your EA momentum algorithm. Why are you trying to chase casuals away? This game is toxic and rotten. It runs so obviously different then every other game. If your going to punish casual players then make it 100%free battle pass and all. It's never a level playing field.
You are STEALING OUR TIME AND MONEY! AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

I love how algorithm is "fictional" to you. This has been used for years in most EA games and is part of the online servers. It's absolutely is real and your dilusional of you think it doesn't exist. I'm not awesome, or claim to be. But I expect a fair match if I'm paying money. But as you can read in the forums this is happening to alot of people. It's called 30 years of experience playing and writing code for these games. It's a fact!

“I’m not a skilled enough player so therefore you should cater to my needs and make the battle pass free! Because paying employee’s, running servers and creating updates costs nothing!” Is what I hear.

Nope, make it like every other game with a level playing field. Make the game fair for everyone. Developers have jobs becaus we pay them. Make it fair. I love how you misquote to say I'm not skilled enough. I said I'm not the best. I understand I won't win every match then alone be the best player. Read the comments. If your going to charge money for a battle pass that does nothing essentialy, then make it free. Developers shouldn't count on loot boxes and cheesy skins painted onto a game with major lag and sound issues and full of toxic players that ruin the experience. Just fix the game and make it fair for everyone. It's all about the handshake. You want money, make the game fair for all!

Total bulls$$$.
Respawn has, since their first balance-patch, clearly been catering to low-to-mid skilled players rather than the top skilled players. Reduced overall loot spawn, larger map, removal of Bhop-healing, hard nerfing of Wingman, Energy weapons, are all some examples of things that favors casual gamers.
If you gonna post a thread like this, and NOT just come off as a whiny, noob who are just angry because he cant win a fight, then please elaborate exactly HOW you claim this game, in practice, handicaps casual players and buffs good players with this momentum algorithm?

@tdnuhn00I have a degree in software engineering, and I can tell you right now, the only algorithm they have in the game for matchmaking is skill based, 60% of the fights you are losing are either long range (because of the new map), you aren't hitting your shots, your teammates maybe trash, (since this is SUPPOSED TO BE a team-based game). Also, what does having a free battle pass have to do with any sort of "level playing field"? The devs need money for their time, skins do not affect gameplay, unless they are bugged, like wraith's skin was in the event we just had. Devs will ALWAYS count on loot boxes, did you see how much money call of duty made off of them when they first released? THAT right there is why they are in games.
Also, they aren't catering to the pro players in any sort, I for one have 0 interest in sitting upon a mountain with a longbow sniping until i get 2 headshots or that lucky headshot for a kill..This game requires teamwork and communication to win, or at least it did, now idk since there's hardly any of that left anymore.

Unfortunately what I read is you want the battle pass to be free, and you vehemently say it does nothing yet it should be given for free. If it does nothing then why do you "need" it?
I don't think the thread has anything to do with fairness at all.
They release an awesome game that's free to play. And the cosmetics are a want not a need. You can get 100% enjoyment with zero cosmetics, and if you like the game then you can choose to donate by purchasing the battle pass, currency and buying the skins you desire. Not to mention you get free loot boxes up to a certain level, so you even get many free cosmetics.
I like the game even though I'm terrible, and I had no issue supporting the game after enjoying it for free. You should support it also if you like it.
