I don't understand why they can't fix match times. If you are high rank, just queue them with the next highest rank waiting, even if they are far apart in skill. The larger the disparity in skill, the more the lower player will be rewarded if they win and less for the higher rank.

[@arenegadeboss]

Where is the delay on rhythm shooting? The shot itself takes longer but that's the trade off with getting buffed against contest. If he's talking about on the catch that's because there is a small window to catch and shoot. If you're holding down your stick about halfway on the catch and pull down on rhythm you'll shoot faster.

Casuals can be shooting 55% and still have fun, but with all the modes being extremely sweaty, the game just don´t make sense to those persons. Shooting is in a good spot just need to fix the latency on rhythm, to me is just take out sbmm from theatre and park wtv, fix the latency and server bugs, and for the love of god fix the fact that agility is not perimeter defense, everyone with high agility can defend like 99 perimeter but actually have 25, oh and the contest needs a little rework too.
