This game truly and utterly sucks, but in a way that fascinates me. Capcom wants a Games As A Service Resident Evil so very badly, and their latest attempt is... a Deathmatch Arena Shooter that directly adapts the mechanics of the Resident Evil Remakes with no regard for how they would work in a multiplayer setting? In what world did they think this was going to be the new eSport that audiences clamour for?

I could talk about the individual mechanical decisions here that are not very good, (Chris having an ability that just lets him be invincible for 3 seconds, Ada spawning with a one hit kill crossbow, how its a score based game that is entirely based on getting Last Hits on enemies) but most importantly, There's a perk you can unlock in this game that protects how much MMR you can lose in a match. If Activision or EA ever realises this is a mechanic that they could sell to consumers this industry will be broken forever.
