I just end up waiting for patches and monitor the forums. If paypigs are crying I know it is a good time to get back to the game. If the developer keeps making ridiculous shit I play alternate game modes or abandon the game entirely. Multiplayer hasn't been enjoyable for quite some time now because now everyone is tryhard super meta and the skill based matchmaking gets loaded with people who hit their ceiling and can't accept it and come down to grief which leads to extremely assymetrical games which are boring or unpleasant.
