Why does everyone hate this game so much?

Coopertition in this game would be great, if true alliances during quals were to actually work.

I joke about this sometimes with friends, but deep down I know it's not funny. There may be matches where teams with kitbots or a functionally limited robot can be told by their alliance partners to either disregard their own strategy or not have any input into how a match should go.

I'm sure there's been occasions this season where a team may tell another "Get of our way, don't mess things up". That's something that isn't inspiring and doesn't help this game's case.

This has been said multiple times before, but conceptually FIRST did a good job with this game. Somewhere between concept and actually implementing and executing this game it got all weird and the game is poor on that front.
