PvP in this game is an afterthought and it shows

I've been playing since season 1 and I actually agree with you, the biggest problem is the ticks for sure, it harms the game, makes it sluggish and also messes up your bursts, skill usage. I cant tell you the amount of times ive pressed something for it to not activate because of ticks, potions "sticking" in use and skills cancelling due to enemy positioning for the smallest thing; its hella annoying.

Unfortunately they wont / cant fix this without a whole revamp on the gameplay system itself and ofc they aren't going to do that.
It's basically slapped on which is sad because it has potential but only through big steps and changes, doesnt matter how many times you revamp and make it simple enough for toddlers, the core of it is bad and thats just how it is. I'm surprised FRC was a success due to how ticks work.

Lack of updates and care kill pvp too, lack of long-term rewards for all, new maps and balancing being extremely slow to implement / make. It's been like 8 seasons or more of this same boring crystal map with old maps still available, not being used in rotation with no thought or care to add them in for a change of pace, no real experimenting is being done just no love for it and it shows big time.

It's like theres one dude in the office for pvp, who is asigned to do something for pvp every so and so unless its a bigger project like FL.
