Mine would have to be League or Warframe tbh.

Apex Legends. The core mechanics and gunplay feel amazing and the highs of BR gameplay made for some of my favourite moments in gaming. I spent over 1500 hours in this game, long after my friends gave up because it's that good.
And yet I haven't played it more than a few hours since 2021. Oh, I've tried, I even had a 12 hour checkup on it with the old squad a month ago to give it a fair shot. In this session we encountered collision bugs that caused player death, weapon swap bugs, healing selection bugs, inconsistent movement (inb4 "player error rawr grr", whatever), UI bugs that put us in the wrong gamemode, and probably more that I forgot. Many of these issues have been in the game since season 0, 5 years ago, yet they still pop up every session. Plus, the matchmaking gets worse and worse every season, especially so for solo play. Without fail, our below average, rusty Plat-ranked asses repeatedly got matched against Predator teams with 4k/20 badges to get stomped.
Each nuisance may be small, but compound them together and add years of them not being addressed, and you've ruined my favourite game. By focusing solely on the content output instead of the core game, they've sacrificed the game's integrity and I fail to truly enjoy myself any longer. After several years of on and off, I sadly don't see myself comung back anymore.
The new season feels "fun" again (to me at least). Last season was the worst it's ever been in terms of BR. The TDM/mixtape stuff was all I played.
This season BR and ranked is fun again. The tweaking they did has me enjoying it much more. The ranked is better because you can overcome bad teammates a little easier because it's not a rat-fest where kills don't matter (a la last season). I basically only solo q because my friends gave up on it a couple seasons back.
Don't get me wrong. It can still be infuriating and you still get absolute dog shit teammates or occasionally rolled by a 3-stack, but it seems less frequent.
And mm in tdm is pretty good most of the week. I end up with really close games alot(eg 50-48 ). The weekends seem to mess it up though and its more common to get the 50-20 style shellacking where it's super lopsided.
And controller aim assist and cross play is still super noticeable. when you get shot from someone on a console if feels like old school lag.
