Playing D2 honestly at this point feels more like a chore than an experience. Get on for Reset day, do your shit, don't play til Friday, check out Xur, don't play again til Tuesday, unless there is an event going on.
I want to enjoy the game, game it just all feels so disappointing and like its punishing me for even playing the game.
I tried playing the IB going on right now, at around 965, and even though I come in around the top 3 on my team, capturing points, getting kills, I am constantly losing games.
I feel like a lot to blame for the current IB experience is the current metagame weapons, matchmaking system and the LL advantage system, giving a much more poorer experience to those who don't play the game at a heavy rate. I have a job, I go to the school, I have other hobbies. I am not sure how many other players feel this way but I personally do not want to have to invest and dedicate my time even more heavily than I feel like I already have in order to "catch up" to the upper tier players and progress in the game.
The same goes for the seasonal "battle passes", I do not want to have to dedicate hours upon hours, days upon days to feel like I am having good progression in the game.

several good points, OP I enjoyed D2 during early and mid game... end game is more annoying than fun usually. soooo i'm off to other games, dropping into D2 to thump around my fav caves and events casually. all good
