For me the biggest negative to F2P is in competitive games, so especially Rocket League in this case, because being F2P means that the competitive element and matchmaking system is 100% worthless.

League of Legends is the most popular competitive game in the world, and is free to play. Calling the competitive aspect and matchmaking worthless in f2p games is incredibly naive.

My experience of two games going free to play, PUBG and Rocket League, is that in the former 100% of games now have cheaters in and in the latter ~25-40% games have people playing on fresh accounts to keep their rank artificially low.

Many of the most popular esports are free to play. Is the competitive element and matchmaking system of TF2, DOTA2 or LoL worthless?

Why is it worthless? Aren't for example a lot of chess servers also free to play, and thousands of chess players play there all the time?
