Now, one of the main reasons for implementing a building such as Multiplex, is the current out-of-control situation with guns being overpowered.
More and more people are winning because of their gun, instead of raw talent.
Of course there are lots of people who don't (seem to) have an issue with it, and do actually enjoy how it is.
So instead of upsetting those who enjoy the current environment, we have a central location where old-school skill-based play can continue to thrive.
That way the people who enjoy the new-school guns can continue to enjoy them, and those of us who prefer skill-based play can hide out in Multiplex.
That's it, folks.
Completely wrong.
Just because MPX is fair & balanced, doesn't mean it's made for beginners? Skill-based play is just a feasible option for everyone, while you have to buy things to compete in Complex, thus making it unfair as well as far from skill-based.
You could now argue that Complex has more variety but that's also not true. MPX Gun has a base build + 10 points you can spend on gun modifications to make it fit your spar style. That is variety. Just because many people seem to prefer RoF/Freeze builds, doesn't mean it has less variety. It's just what most people are comfortable with.
I'd also like to mention that there's no rivalry involved.
People who enjoy the current environment, go to Complex.
People who seek skill-based play, go to MPX.
