Yes, VAC caught up with me for my mistakes of youth. But still, the path began in 2013.
The way it looks now is amazing, and source 2 may allow VALVE to keep the game in excellent shape for a very long time.
What kind of gameplay it is now, it has become a hundred times easier, it is now much easier for beginners to understand and study the game. You should be careful in matches with players, as no one can surpass the level of toxicity here.
The game is constantly updated, you should not get used to the monotony, because in the next update your favorite character can become a dummy, learn to play on everything and everyone! She loves versatility and you should be able to do as much as possible to feel at least more confident, every second counts for farming or helping allies is a constant choice that will play a huge role in the outcome of the match!
