Trust me, I’ve definitely taken this as an opportunity to just use whatever weapon for the sake of trying new shit, since in my mind if I’m almost guaranteed to lose there’s no need to worry about whether or not I know how to effectively use a given weapon. It’s lead to me getting better at shit like chargers, and I’m currently mostly just fucking around with the Bamboozler (without a ton of stacked MPU). Sucks though that even if I’m individually doing well, it’s a team game and so if the team isn’t working together then my individual performance doesn’t matter much anyway.

You’re right though; I’m basically trying to trick the game into being fun again when honestly I should probably just sell it or something. It sucks, because I enjoy the gameplay for the most part, and I like the art and character designs a lot, but Nintendo insists on having shit online when there’s really no excuse for it.
