People have been debating about what went wrong with the game. While several players claim that the Battle Royale implemented in the game is where the franchise went wrong, others are of the opinion that the game was wrecked from the beginning.

Karma had a few more tweets for his fans where he addressed his reason to leave. He stated that this was something he had planned to do a while ago, but couldn’t. He is no longer interested in the game as he was once.

His teammates and fans reacted to his statements on Twitter. They have wished him luck going forward while also adding how much they’ll miss him. You can read some of the tweets below.

Competitive sports is tiring and exhausting for many. In recent times, several big names have announced that they’d be taking time off from their respective games. Now, to see a legend retire citing the game to be a nightmare makes you question why aren’t the developers catering to what the gamers want.

Will Karma come back?

In his last tweets, hours ago, Karma said he’d be coming back. This is rather contradictory to the previous statements he made. Fans were left wondering what he meant by the tweet.

He could simply mean to say that he’d be back into the field in some other role. People, in general, believe he is going to take up the role of a coach for a team. Having a legend himself coach a group seems like a dream come true for many.
