    So, here's my complaint about Battle Royales as a genre, from the perspective of someone new to them who Got Gud on deathmatch shooters in the 2000s: These games reward fundamental FPS skills but don't teach them to you.

        You have to do spicy drops to get into the fight fast, but the fast fights are scraps with low-tier weapons. The maps are massive and reward snipers, but in the majority of games, new players aren't acquiring sniper rifles with 8x scopes.

        So, a new player can spend twenty minutes walking around, none of them learning. This is different from games like UT and CS, where I'd hop into a match and learn within minutes. The structure increases the skill gap.

        Most of the players who have the skills to succeed in BR are carrying skills over from games that actually teach those skills. There's macro-level tactics unique to BR, but at the end of the match, you still have to win a fight the genre doesn't prepare you for.

        You can still learn purely from playing a Battle Royale game, of course. I just think it would take ten, twenty times as long as another shooter that rewards the same skillset.

        That's a good point. There's also the common "1 death and you have to find a completely new match" design decision compared to the extremely fast respawns on a lot of older shooters which again feels like it can slow down learning the shooting mechanics

        Yep. That's the part that sticks with me -- this entire genre punishes learning. And shooters are entirely about learning. It took me entire summers as a teenager to learn the fundamentals of competitive shooters.

        Wow! Thank you for this insight. I wondered why I dislike these games SO much and yet used to love shooters. I realise it’s also reflexes and I’m old now, as well, but this explains quite a bit.
