Apologies for my delay in replying - I've only just had chance.

It's not a mistake. This false belief that one duty holds a higher standing to another only emphasizes a lack of experience.

Lack of awareness can lead people to look at something from a superficial aspect, just as a non-gamer may argue that gaming requires no thought because it's 'just pressing buttons'. Anything can be reduced to such levels by unawareness, when there's usually more complexities to it.

If SE wanted FL to function like CC, it wouldn’t have roulette incentives, respawns, and RNG objectives
FL has incentives because of how large-scale it is. For a CC game, only 10 players are needed, which pales in comparison to the 72 players needed for an FL game to happen. The roulette simply helps to maintain a good supply of players.

Secondly, the claim of FL being casual because it contains RNG elements is nonsense. CC maps also contains such elements, for example, the bombs in Volcanic Heart.

It exists as an accessible, large-scale PvP mode.
Yes. Not to everyone's taste, admittedly. The 1v1v1 setup, in particular, being quite controversial.

Personally, I much prefer FL and quite like the 3-team approach. Unlike CC where I only need to worry about one set of opponents, in FL I have to be aware of the positioning and actions of two full alliances. It can be unpredictable, requiring you to adjust your tactics to a changing situation. Although the 1v1v1 setup can lead to difficulties when one of the teams decides they'd rather spend the whole game 2v1ing you rather than focusing the winning team, that setup can prove useful in other ways, like the challenging of premades.

FL doesn’t require the same structure or seriousness as CC
The point about seriousness is also nonsense and part of the issue faced within FLs at the moment. I'm sure you've seen the many threads complaining of premade teams? They certainly pose a challenge, but part of why they're such a headache to defeat is the half-hearted approach which many take.

Of course, perfect play isn't expected, but it is expected of everyone to try their upmost to win. Sadly, too many players prefer to AFK/emote in base and spam basic attacks while watching YouTube because "I only want exp"

Don't put in zero effort because "it's not that deep" and then complain when you lose to a team who is actively trying.
