I was pretty heavily involved in the competitive scene for this game, playing in the 50v50 tournaments and a few of the 18v18 seasonals. I bailed about 8 months ago or so, right before Black Matter pulled out completely. Every time I see news about HLL it just winds up reaffirming that decision. It sucks, because I had a lot of fun with the game while I was playing, but the vision that drew me in is completely gone as far as I can tell.

Even though it's a completely different game, playing The Finals beta earlier this year gave me the same feeling of cohesive vision from the developers.

Edit - This is the first time since I've quit using Reddit that I've really wanted to go back to check on things, because I'd love to see the subreddit melting down.

Edit 2 - Those feels when the opening cinematic for a 21 year old game and the opening mission cinematic for an 18 year old game both look better and get me more hyped than your trailer for a major update release in 2023. Also they shamelessly ripped off the BiA Road to Hill 30 cinematic from the second link. T17 doesn't have an original bone in their bodies.
