I hear that. It’s been over a decade (or so) since I’ve played and I still remember a few of the games very specifically. The rest are a blur with a general feeling of annoyance left over.
Since I never spent the hours of learning how to min/max my build against every conceivable combination of enemies and teammates, I never could do well at the higher levels. The net result was mediocrity in my style and huge waves of anger from the random people I was teamed with.
To be able to compete you have to invest huge efforts into learning the builds and styles to match. I just didn’t care enough, but with the XP system always climbing (by sheer games played), I was pinched out just because the system has room room for casual play.
The spikes of reward from the mid level games were quickly dwarfed by the constance negative experiences as I was forced to level up.
