Quick play matches have been too unbalanced and one-sided for me lately. I may be level 91 now, but I've fallen to level 60's doing much better. I'd much rather play with randomly-selected players than being sorted by a system that falsely assumes your skill solely by how long you've been playing. If anything, the extremes you talk about here, I've learned to find more humourous than anything else.

And yes, I'd definitely play competitive if all the restrictions and penalties didn't scare me.

they say there's a legendary third kind, the same type of dudes you find in Payday 2, they have no name, but their presence is accompained by a whisper of 2 words
