That’s because RL is very close to a “perfect” game IMO. Meaning that everything it does, it does almost perfectly. The map design and gameplay are so perfectly tuned that every time they’ve tried to introduce different map designs into competitive rotation, the community backlash forces them to remove them. What other game’s community actively *fights* new free maps because the core design is so fucking good that everything new is a step backwards??

I’m close to 1500 hours in and I couldn’t tell you a single actual gameplay mechanic I would alter either. The base gameplay mechanics are just as perfectly tuned as the map design. And they’re both so tightly woven together at this point. Sure there are still netcode improvements to be made or very minor mechanic glitches that *could* be fixed but the design-intent of the mechanics are near perfect. 

The game is phenomenally simple with only a handful of actual mechanics and actions but the skill ceiling is probably infinitely high. The thousands of hours people put into the game is a real testament to how well the developers nailed the core gameplay.
