[2020] The new player progression system is a bit dumb if you want to learn new characters

I play in a 4 stack, and while it is relatively fun to "grow" as your first playable character, it gets quite unfun as you are learning a new character.

All 4 of us have promoted at least once and now we want to switch roles. Yet, if you have a promoted Scout and want to play Driller - tough luck, you have to start from LEVEL ONE Driller. You go from peak to bottom, as now things don't die as fast and your mobility tools are not as good as they can be.

This kinda blows, as it is actually painful to play the game if you chose a specific role and then want to diversify. The really simple fix, obviously, would've been to gate the upgrades behind the blue rank, and not the red rank. That way new players still have a reason to "grind" (unlock the next perk) - but once they do that ONCE, they have unlocked the path to actually building and learning the full-powered characters for all characters.
