As a controller player, the AR doesn’t feel rewarding to use (typically first shot wins) and the sidekick is frustratingly difficult (as well as tension-inducing due to the spam).
That being said, I have been playing ranked and SWAT for a more relaxing experience even though I realize these are typically considered more punishing/hardcore than other playlists. I’m not a super competitive player so I’d typically play social in past games, but from an “ease of use” standpoint the social modes in Infinite are quite demanding.
I truly think I would enjoy playlists like FFA, Slayer, and BTB more with BR starts due to the slower TTK, capped fire rate to lessen physical demands on the hand, and having a tool that works at most ranges off spawn.
Curious to see if these modes will have variants within the playlist (Slayer Pro, like H2) in the future.
