The main issue for me is that the amount of time I would have to put into a game to get good enough to not get shit on in pvp kills the enjoyment. I played a ton of destiny 2 and was still solidly mediocre at pvp. My first 2 games of Squad I don't think I got a single kill. Pubg was just miserable starting out. Never gonna touch warthunder.

You’re absolutely right. If you don’t have time to invest in getting good at multiplayer, pvp can be frustrating at best. I’ve got thousands of hours invested in my preferred game and I’m pretty damn good, I’m very competitive, but even I quit a game occasionally because of other players.

Despite the gaming community's constant rhetoric that “nobody cheats, git gud kid, learn how to aim”, cheating is rampant. From players that abuse aim assist with devices like the chronos max to just good old-fashioned aimbots, they can ruin anyone’s game, even mine. And even I quit games when players are so obviously using artificial aim assists that it’s just not fun, and popular FPS shooters are the prime targets for cheaters. Even if you are good, there’s more than enough people willing to wreck your game.
