I can kinda see it with how hyper competitive games have gotten at the detriment of fun. Now we have match making with hidden elo vs back in the day just playing on dedicated servers. But it’s not all bad.
Hyper competitiveness has always been there, I seriously doubt it has anything to do with the advent of esports. And elo with its many variants came about because of other issues (like smurfing, which is the absolute opposite of competitiveness).
