A few thoughts before I head off.
Typically I don't play games that want to be esports; if nothing else the audience of those titles give me a migraine--the Billy Mitchells of the world--but For Honor was offering a dozen things I've wanted in a game since forever. But over the year since the game's release it's become very apparent that all the things appealing to me about the game were not the developer's priority. Not in the slightest. The personality of the heroes, the lore and the setting, the values and style of each faction, and content that would allow me to experience these things alongside a friend or two.
It's painful to know that my proverbial $60 is worth less than the person who just wants to grief other players, "rub salt in their wounds", and trash talk their way through a twitch stream. Their presence in this community is valued more than mine. And maybe players with interests like mine really are so far in the minority that it isn't worth paying attention too. But then I see this forum and the people who keep leaving are players it at least seems have common interests. So I don't know.
But there it is, those are my thoughts. I'm going to dial it back and maybe revisit some other games for a while. If the Warden update is really cool I'll come back and check it out, but for the moment dealing with Conq's instant recoveries is something else I can live without.
