I used to love playing this game and I even got invested in watching youtubers play it, I didn't think competitive bloon popping would be so fun to play and watch.
All that ended with the powers update. At first it seemed like an update to keep the game fresh and interesting, but unlocking the powers was either extremely time consuming and tedious requiring dozens of hours or pay to win at worst, and you could not skimp out on these powers, they were extremely powerful and became mandatory if you wanted to play. Regardless of what came after that update or if they've improved it since (I haven't played since), it killed any fun I could have had with the game and the main youtubers and streamers I watched play the game quit completely within a week of the launch of the update and have not returned to the game since.
In summary, a single update destroyed a game I loved. (I tried the sequel, but it was worse. Even though they have tried to fix it, nothing has made me want to play it again.)
