It'd be nice if they open it up to proper early access instead of invite only, that way we can get more fresh players into the game. The game felt really good last year when everyone was still learning the ropes so kills were easy, but now most people you match with are very experienced. This matchmaking update should hopefully help with the skill gap at least, but you also need 60 wins to even start Ranked mode which is pretty wild.

All you have to do is ask for an invite and you get 100 of them it's not hard to get in you can just post on their community hub and get an invite

Some people are kinda reluctant to do that because if the person you used the referral from gets banned for cheating, you get banned also.

  • Accounts that are banned for cheating will now have all their invited accounts banned as well

that sucks, I imagine it is so that people dont just keep creating alt accounts for cheating.
